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

We care Wednesday Crew
In Crew this week, Years 3 and 4 have been thinking about the health of their bodies as well as their mental health too. They have discovered that exercise is not only good for bodies, but that it also activates and cleanses minds; making people feel happier from the serotonin and endorphins that are released during the time that they exercise! Aerobic exercises like running, cycling and swimming are particularly effective. Exercise boosts the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which supports the production and release of serotonin as well as overall brain health! Because of this, Crew Haycock and 3H have pledged to carry out some physical exercise (in addition to their PE lessons in school) for ten minutes a day.
Go Crew Haycock – youāve got this and so have I. I pledge to do this additional exercise with you!

Celebration of learning!
Super Science Fair
I couldn’t be more proud of the children in 4G! They have worked so incredibly hard in preparation for their science fair, and today they really pulled it off.
All around the room, I could hear and see everyone sharing their learning with all the parents. There were experiments and demonstrations, and above all fantastic scientific knowledge.
Our parents and carers were great and were asking challenging questions of the children – which they handled so well.
The children showed such character and it was lovely to see children being pushed out of their comfort zone and talking to adults.
Above all, this came from the children – they shared their interest, what they have been inspired by and gave it 100%. The amount of incredible work completed at home was testament to how much they wanted to show what they knew.
The classroom was buzzing and so was I!
Well done 4G, you did an incredible job!
And now on to our next expedition!!

We are working as scientists
There is a buzz of excitement in 3Hās classroom today as the children are very busy working in their teams to prepare resources and presentations that they will perform to their parents this afternoon. Iāve let the reins go a little and the children have decided what they want to prepare and how they want to present their learning to their parents. They are doing themselves proud. I hope they have plenty of parents to talk to later on.
Good luck this afternoon Years 3 and 4. Be confident. Be knowledgable. Be awesome. Be you!

Science Fair Preparations
We really are getting excited for our Science Fair on Friday.
I have been so impressed with everyone has worked on their projects, working at home to prepare resources and collaborating so well in class, writing scripts and practising presentations.
I am really looking forward to tomorrow afternoon, to see how everyone brings their learning to life and hope our parents and carers will too.

Being hygienic to stop the germs!
2P have learnt how germs can easily be spread and why it is important that we wash our hands and have good hygiene. We discussed the different ways that we can keep ourselves clean and then did an experiment that shows how quickly and easily germs can spread to each other through contact. Kaya ‘sneezed’ on her hand and then the class all shook hands with each other. It’s amazing how quickly the ‘germs’ spread! We then practised how we can wash our hands thoroughly. We then made posters to share what we had learned with others.

Planting for the future
2P has planted a new set of fruit trees on behalf of KS1 to add to our orchard, which we started creating last year. Our expert visitors guided us through the process and we used our learning to help them with the planting. We were able to identify the parts of the tree, the type of tree and then we made sure that the tree had everything that it needed to give it the best chances of growing healthily. Hopefully they will provide us with lots of different fruit in the years to come.
