As an EYFS team we are really proud of everybody who took part in our sponsored sing a thon today! Hopefully we will have raised lots of money towards our expedition, to buy books for reading for pleasure within our school, kiddiewinks and DRI children’s ward. Thank you so much to everybody that has sponsored their child! Don’t forget you have until next Friday to fetch in your sponsor money. Here is a beautiful video of your child enjoying their sponsored sing a thon, singing all the fabulous nursery rhymes we have learnt.
At the end of last year, we asked students in C29 to reflect on the learning that took place outside the classroom and how this has helped them to build Crew.
Beautiful Curation: Carcroft School
Look at this collection of recent work which is now on display in the corridors of Carcroft School. Be sure to stop and admire students beautiful work from across phases and Expeditions!
Well done to our athletics superstars who represented Plover and themselves impeccably at Trinity Academy. They finished a respectable 4th out of 8 and should be proud of themselves! Check out some of the footage below…
Year 2 settled down to watch The Bee Movie. This film links nicely to our current expedition and helped us to see the things that bees like in their habitat and to help them to survive. We were also able to imagine what life could be like as a bee and why we need to look after them!
2P have been Scientists today by using their observational skills to conduct a survey. We took part in the RSPB’s Big School Bird Watch and spent time looking and identifying different bird species. We will submit our data to be used in the national survey. We were surprised by how many birds we saw considering how cold it was. Wood Pigeon were definitely the most common!
Today we created a story map of Goldilocks and The Three Bears. The children were able to retell the story as we went along and decide what picture we should draw.
Charlotte and Edith then created their own fantastic story map by cutting out pictures and sticking the, on, and then fantastically re told the story using it. They also did some beautiful handwriting to write their names on it, well done girlies you are amazing!
2P have been learning about woodland habitats. We used our knowledge of the layers of woodlands to recreate a habitat scene from natural materials. We tried to include the forest floor and winter trees. We even attempted to make animals and birds from the materials around us!
Fun and active ways to practise times tables proved a hit this afternoon. It’s amazing how competitive the usually quite ones were…you know who you are people! Well done and keep practising those multiplication facts at home too. Perhaps you could challenge others at home like we did with each other today? Let’s get those minutes and scores up on TT!
We have been in awe this afternoon when we visited Svalbard via GoogleMeet! Joanna (our expert speaker) works as a biologist for an amazing organisation called Polar Bears International. She told us so much about polar bears and their habitat – helping us to build real-life background knowledge. She is currently working on a really important project about polar bear and human cohabitation. We aim to help her organisation towards the end of our expedition by making a monetary donation. You can find out more about them on their website: https://polarbearsinternational.org/
It was one of my favourite moments so far this school year when children started getting out of their seats and as close to the screen and Joanna as they could. Everyone started the session sat at a table then slowly but surely, more and more crept closer and closer to her. They were enraptured!
