Becoming Planet Protectors 🌎

On the final day of Hook Week be became planet protectors!

Inspired by a video of Mr Beast cleaning up a beach in America we decided that we should clean up our school environment to make sure it is safe for ourselves and any animals who live nearby.

Back in class we also planted some sunflowers seeds!

Finally we revealed our Summer Term Expedition title and guiding question

Hook Week – Day One 🌎

Today in our first hook week lesson we thought about planet Earth and what makes it so special.

The children came up with their own ideas about why Earth is so amazing including how it is our home and how it supports life for humans and animals .

Finally we linked this to the speech made by Christina Koch, the mission specialist onboard Artemis II, which has just returned from her journey to the moon. She talked about what she used to think crew was. Her closing statement was “Planet Earth, you are a crew!”

We will continue to explore this more in-depth over the rest of the week.

LKS2 Sleepover

The Year 3 and Year 4 sleepover was an absolute whirlwind of excitement from start to finish. The evening kicked off with a high-energy pizza party and a thrilling session of glow-in-the-dark dodgeball that turned the hall into a neon battlefield. After the adrenaline settled, the children put their thinking caps on for a series of competitive quizzes before winding down with a cozy film marathon. Following a night of (mostly) sleeping, the fun continued into the next day with a morning of games, leaving everyone exhausted but buzzing with fantastic memories.

Dodgeball Tournament Success

A huge well done to our Year 3 and 4 pupils from. who recently took part in an exciting dodgeball tournament against other local schools. The children showed fantastic crew work, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the event.

After a series of great matches, our team proudly finished 2nd place out of 10 schools! This is a brilliant achievement and everyone represented the school incredibly well. We are very proud of their effort, enthusiasm, and positive attitude during the tournament.
