3H have been considering the use of colour to capture the chaos of a flash flood. Here are some images of their creations.

We are crew!
Years 3 and 4 worked really hard in their crews last week to build their background knowledge of a variety of different survival techniques. When working with Mrs Haycock, they had two different challenges to complete. Firstly, they had to use the pipes to transport as much water as they could, as far as they could and without any leaks; and secondly, they were asked to consider what happens when there is a huge influx of water all at once!
I think it is clear to say that we had great fun despite getting a little wet, (perhaps soaked would be a better term). However, more importantly, we learnt that if there is a hole in the pipe work, the water will find it and leak through it. We also learnt that when there is a huge influx of water all at once, our river systems and drains simply cannot cope with the deluge and flooding takes place!
Well done everyone! Special shout out to Crew Vines who transported the water the furthest with out a single drip leaking out of the tubes!

Our local community
Today we have been for a walk around the perimeter of the school grounds. We learnt about different types of houses in our community, including; semi detached, terrace, flats and bungalows. We spoke about what things were the same/different to school and our houses. We then made a bar chart of the different types of housing we live in, and drew pictures of different types of houses.

Working Hard Weeding
What a lovely afternoon out in the Spring sunshine! During outdoor provision, all of Crew Meade worked hard to rake, scrape, dig and pull out all the weeds, debris, dead roots and twigs in our planters. Then Crew Price came and helped by planting some daffodils bulbs! We can’t wait to see them grow… #LovePlover

Hinduism and Buddhism in 3SG
For our faith day learning, we were first introduced to Hinduism where we learned about the origins of the religion. We recalled our Geographical skills to identify which countries have large populations of this global faith, then completed some reading activities to firm our understanding. We then continued by looking at how Hindu people worship in and out of their homes, comparing the differences.
Later, we were introduced to Buddhism and completed a fact file on what we had learnt about the religion as well as their manners of worship in temples.
Well done all!
Tromsø and Intake D&T Box Models
We were design technologists last week and compared our local community of Intake, Doncaster to Tromsø in Norway. The children crafted together physical features like fjords, valleys, mountains, waterfalls to represent Tromsø. Then human features such as roads, roundabouts, shops, flats and Plover Primary school that we have in Intake. #LovePlover
