Can you help?

3rd May 2023Mr Pickering

We all know how important reading is as a life skill and we really want to encourage our children to love reading. We are wanting to increase the opportunities that our children have to be able to read in school BUT we need your help!

Can you spare 30 minutes in a morning to come and volunteer to hear children read? This doesn’t have to be everyday and we can fit around you. This is purely to listen to the children read and to give them that confidence boost with their reading skills.

If you would like to help, please speak to any of the Key Stage 1 class teacher’s to register your interest and tell us when you might be able to help.

Thank you so much!

Graduation Night

14th July 2023Mrs Shuka

On Wednesday lots of our children celebrated their Children’s University Graduation at Doncaster College. The graduates enjoyed lots of fun and treats before donning their caps and gowns and receiving their certificates.

The children behaved in true Plover style and made us all so proud. Thank you to our parent ambassadors for your continued support.

Well done Graduates of 2023!

What makes me a Me?

14th July 2023Mrs Graves

During transition week, we enjoyed sharing the book ‘What makes me a me?’ and then inspired by the book, we created lovely self portraits. We practised our critiquing skills on our first draft, and then we had another attempt. We were really please with the results.

KS1 Reminder

14th July 2023Joshua Meade

Morning

Can all Y1/2 bring a waterproof coat as it looks like rain for most of the day and they’ll be having PE outside.

Can all Y1/Y2 remember to bring in their reading books and bags, as we are collecting them in before the end of the year.

Thanks all

Beautiful Handwriting in 3GS

11th July 2023Mrs Shuka

Today the new 3GS have shown great focus and amazing presentation in their handwriting session. Children worked hard to improve their own writing and critiqued friends to help them improve too.

We’re very proud of you all and with presentation like this, we can’t wait to see your beautiful books in September.

Well done 3GS!

New 2L Crew building

11th July 2023Mrs Lewis

We have been enjoying getting to know each other this week and building our Crew spirit. We have been building our teamwork skills by completing some Commando Jo activities and enjoying our text ‘The Perfect Fit.’ We have enjoyed collecting natural materials to make different shapes and we are looking forward to doing some shape printing and thinking about why we are so unique tomorrow.
