Sharing Stories of World War Two

5th October 2022Mrs Graves

Today we were lucky to have two very special visitors to Plover.

Roger and his sister Carroll came to tell us about their family’s experience of World War Two. Roger wasn’t born until after the war, but he has written about his Dad’s life, which involved fighting in the Queen’s Own Yorkshire Dragoons in the war. They even brought in a flag that their dad took from a German tank.

Carroll was only three when war broke out, but she told us so many stories about what it was like growing up during the war. She went to the nearby Intake Primary school and has memories of bomb shelters and taking drinks to Italian prisoners of war on the racecourse.

We all learnt something today, and we can’t wait to start turning their stories into our book.

We look forward to seeing them again at our celebration.

If you have any family stories of World War Two, we would love to hear them – please let your teacher know.

3B have been learning all about the important roles of women during WW2. They have also had a go at creating their own propaganda poster to encourage women to work while the men fight in the war.

Beautiful home learning!💗

Isabelle has done some fabulous home leaning linked to our expedition. She has drawn a fantastic picture of Winston Churchill who was the prime minister during the Second World War.

Well done Isabella!

Well done to all the children in Year 3 and 4 this week. You have worked so incredibly hard, fitting in the learning that was planned to be covered over four days into the 3 days we had this week.

I have seen how hard you have worked on your final write and I am looking forward to reading some more in more detail.

You have really demonstrated how much you have learnt in your World War 2 expedition so far.

Well done and keep up the hard work!!

3B have drawn portraits of the Queen during her service in WW2 to pay their respects to her life and commitment to serving her country.

They should be incredibly proud of the quality of their beautiful work.

Year 3 and 4 PE

11th September 2022Mrs Graves

For your information, Year 4 PE will usually be held on Monday and Year 3 PE will usually be held on Wednesday.

There may be times when these days have to change ( due to weather, extra PE sessions or other unforeseen circumstances), so please could children bring their PE kits to school on Monday and leave in school until Friday.

It also helps us greatly if all items of PE clothing (and footwear) are labelled with the child’s name.

Thanks for your support

Rugby World Cup Tickets

9th September 2022Joshua Meade

Good Evening

We have a fantastic opportunity for 10 of our Plover children to be flag bearers and parade around the Eco Power pitch for the opening game of the Rugby League World Cup!

·       The first fixture at the Eco Power Stadium, which will take place on Monday 17th October, France Vs Greece, 7.30pm kick off. This is the game that we plan on celebrating the success of the RLWC2021 Legacy program that our school has been a part of. We are encouraging as many children to attend this fixture with friends, family, parents and school friends. The Flag Parade will take place 30/40 mins before kick off!

·        Parents will be able to pay for tickets on ParentPay for themselves and their children. We are keeping a track on quantities so tickets can be bought together and all the Plover Crew sit together for this amazing experience!

It would be amazing for as many Plover children and families to experience this once in a life time sporting opportunity. We ask that every child attending has a parent/guardian with them. Mr Meade and another member of Plover staff will be there to meet you all.

Any questions email [email protected] or speak to the office! The deadline for tickets is next Friday 16th September! #LovePover
