We are expedition experts

Iā€™m so proud of the effort 3H put into these amazing posters that they created last week when everyone regrouped after the transition days. You all worked so hard to create some beautiful pieces of work to show how much you have learnt during this expedition. Great job everyone!

Last Week in 4Hā€¦

What a great 3 days we had together as 4H! Welcome to our new classmates – and donā€™t worry: youā€™ll get used to any changes to last year super quickly because others will show you what to do or remind you how to do itā€¦whatever ā€˜itā€™ may be. You only have this to remember: We are all here to work as crew; to help each other in all we do!

Drama: from moving as slow as a snail to stomping like dinosaurs – Iā€™m not sure who the biggest kid was (Mrs Brown and Mr Graves!) 😆

Cricket: What a great way to begin team building!

And thank you to our official photographerā€¦Kason!

I canā€™t wait to help you all grow next year, 4H! Have a fabulous final week and even better summer!

LKS2 Celebration Event

We celebrated our expedition “Earth Shattering Events: What happens when nature strikes” at XP school. The children did brilliantly, performing their poetry and story compositions.

For those people who were unable to attend, here is a recording of the readings, made back in school and a copy of the presentation celebrating their work that was shown on the night.

Enjoy!

Graduation Night

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!

Summer Writing Competition

Over the Summer holidays, children have been invited to write a short story. The competition has been set up with Good Housekeeping Magazine in collaboration with the National Literacy Trust.

To enter, parents or guardians need to submit their childā€™s story on the theme of Christmas. This is a chance for children to let their creativity run wild and come up with something really original and exciting.

The competition is split into four age categories: seven and under, eight to 10-year-olds, 11 to 13-year-olds and 14 to 16-year-olds. Those aged seven and under are invited to send in a drawing and a few sentences, while those in the other three categories can submit up to 500 words on a Christmas theme of their choice. Each age category will be considered separately by our panel of judges, who will be looking for the most creative entries in each group. Winning stories will be published in the December 2023 issue of Good Housekeeping and each category winner will also receive Ā£100 worth of book tokens.

What to send: Send us your childā€™s story of no more than 500 words (this can include a drawing if your child is seven or under) on the theme of Christmas. Please include the name of the parent or guardian, the name and date of birth of the child, the age category being entered and a mobile or daytime contact number for the parent or guardian.

Send your entry here[email protected] by 31 August 2023. In the email, please include the following information:

  • Parent or guardian’s name
  • Parent or guardianā€™s address
  • Parent or guardianā€™s postcode
  • Parent or guardianā€™s mobile or daytime telephone number
  • Childā€™s name
  • Childā€™s date of birth and the category being entered
