During the school holidays, disaster struck Plover! An earthquake turned our classrooms upside down and caused general chaos throughout the Y3/4 classrooms and shared area. We cannot wait to see how this event will inspire our children and what amazing writing will come of the immersive experience that was ‘Survival Day’.

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!

Today, our lovely Year 6’s kick-started their narrative cycle by looking at a range of age-related pieces of writing as models. They discussed the features the models included as well as what made them strong pieces of writing. We all agreed these pieces built cohesion which is our focus for this term. I’m really looking forward to seeing our final pieces as the weeks unfold!
Well done 6B!
