Flash flood artwork

20th April 2025Mrs Haycock

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

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 – you’ve got this and so have I. I pledge to do this additional exercise with you!

Disaster has struck Plover!

20th April 2025Mrs Haycock

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’.

We are crew!

20th April 2025Mrs Haycock

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!
