To start our new learning experience, Into the Deep, Pippin Class visited Bristol Aquarium. The children were able to have a guided tour from one of the marine biologists who shared a huge range of information with us, about the various fish and sea creatures they have.
The children loved their virtual author visit from Lucy Noguera, where they heard all about the inspiration behind the characters in SWOP. Thank you to Ms Noguera for talking to the children in such an interesting and engaging manner.
This week, the whole school took part in a morning of fencing. They learnt all about the different equipment that is used in fencing and the technical names, before progressing to learning the various positions including En Guard. The children loved demonstrating their newfound skills.
Pippin Class went on a local fieldwork trip to Castle Cary Park. We travelled via mini-bus thinking about the route we'd planned and what we'd see on our way to the park. Whilst we were there, we looked at the physical and human features within the park and read maps using compasses to find our way around. It was great fun!

On the 22nd January, Years Five and Six competed in a tag rugby tournament at Ansford Academy. First, our team played against Castle Cary, with a try being scored by Evan, a Year Six pupil. Great effort was seen from everyone, although this match ended up with us losing.
During their Hook Day the children learnt all about Fu Hao (also known as Lady Hao) who was a wife of King Wu Ding. She was also a military general and a high priestess. Wu Ding actually had 64 wives but FU Hao became the second most powerful.
Pippin Class had two very special visitors today, Sam and Ted. With the help of Sam's very accident-prone Ted, the children learnt about cuts and grazes, head bumps and that poorly people need to be placed on their side and of course how to call 999, but only if needed.
It was a FANTASTIC day, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot.
Sam said "I can hand on heart say I had the loveliest session at Lovington Primary, the children were beautifully behaved and I'm so impressed with how well they picked up everything taught.
What a busy and brilliant end to the term we have had! On Wednesday, the children really enjoyed their Christmas party day, with traditional party games, alongside a special visit from Father Christmas.
Pippin Class presented their nativity "A Miracle in Town' on Wednesday, it was lovely to see so many parents and grandparents in school. The children performed brilliantly, filling the hall with their wonderful singing as well as projecting their voices so clearly with such expression.
This week Pippin Class had a visit from Yeovilton's Royal Navy STEM team. Tom and Sam came in to speak to us about flight and how planes fly. We learnt about planes' drag, thrust, lift and weight and got to build our very own gliders to demonstrate the forces.
We also learnt about how the rotor blades work on a helicopter by watching a remote-control helicopter. It was amazing to see the forces in action!
They also shared lots of interesting facts about their jobs, including how they got started in Avionics.
