We are Scientists

29th February 2024Mrs Haycock

4H have worked together to plan and carry out a fair test – helping them to find out which surface an object would move the furthest on. Different surfaces to test were considered and then voted for, promoting our use of British values. How to make sure we used the same force for every ‘push’ of the object was challenging, but with a little bit of extra advice from me, a sling shot was made to release our chosen object from. Careful measurements; releasing the cube from the top of it; and using the same people for the same role made sure that our test was fair. Well done everyone! Super Scientists in the making!

World Wildlife Day

29th February 2024Mrs Haycock

Years 3 and 4 were lucky enough to join a live, online lesson yesterday to build our background knowledge of the world’s biomes. It was great to see how much our children have learnt about the Arctic during this expedition.

I wonder if your child can tell you something new that they learnt from this opportunity.

We are motivated!

29th February 2024Mrs Haycock

Our crew challenge this week was to solve matchstick problems. I think it’s fair to say that Crew Haycock found this more challenging than some of the other tasks they have been set! The frustration that they displayed when I showed them how simple it was really was amusing to see from my point of view. However, I don’t think they appreciated how easily I solved them! Sorry guys, I pledge to be more supportive and less competitive in the future.

Keep grappling with our motivational challenges everyone!

We Are Storytellers

29th February 2024Amy Wood-Samways

Over the past two days we have been working hard to re-tell the story of the Gingerbread Man, using masks. The children have become very good at remembering key phrases and leading their own learning to re-tell the story during provision.

F2 Pride of Plover

29th February 2024Rebecca Bubb

Lacey-Jayne and Emilia won Pride of Plover this week for kindness. They both spread kindness in F2 and look after people. They brighten up our days with their huge smiles!

A big thank you

28th February 2024Mrs Price

Thank you to all those who have supported our fundraising this term. We have raised just over £700. We are going to buy books to create book baskets for places in the community, books for the children’s wards in the hospital and Kiddiewinks. We are also going to add to our reading for pleasure books that the children take home and all our EYFS children will have their own book.

If you know of a venue in the local area that would like a basket of books for children to read/share at the venue please let us know.

Decorating biscuits

28th February 2024Mrs Price

The children decorated the biscuits ready to take home. They were careful in how and where they put the icing. We hope they enjoyed eating them.

Excellent extended study!

28th February 2024Miss Blackham

So proud of all of these children, who in addition to booster sessions, are completing extended study at home. Their hard work outside of the classroom is definitely having a positive impact inside the classroom! Awesome examples of 4’s for getting smart!

3SG are safe and ready

28th February 2024Mr Schofield

In preparation for our field work, we have been looking at how risk assessments work and agreeing on rules for safety when we are out and about.

It was lovely to see lots of great ideas being shared from the groups, then collaborating as a class to agree on our best rules to keep safe on our trip.
