Y5/6 Football Tournament After School Today

Hi all

Just a reminder to the Y5/6 football children that we have a football tournament on Intake Playing Field on Sandringham Road 3.30pm-4.45pm.

Can all children bring football boots/trainers, shinpads, waterbottle and PE Kit please.

Parents are to pick up (unless child is walking home on their own) from Intake Sports Hall and Healthy Living Centre, 97 Sandringham Rd, Doncaster DN2 5JA

Thanks

Mr Meade

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!

Crew 5&6 are loving XP outdoors!

Our new Year 5&6 crew are getting stuck in this morning with XP outdoors. Every child will be making a pizza to eat and toasting marshmallows. They are so excited! Check back on the 5/6 blogs later today to see what else they get up to!

The Children’s University graduation is tomorrow 5-7pm. There’s ample parking (costs 80p on the Ringo app or by phone). Children do not need to wear uniform but may.

For children or adults who like to know what will happen, here’s a breakdown:

  • Arrive at the main college entrance and sign in with your invitations.
  • Spend a short time downstairs in the lobby, free activities available.
  • As a group we will go upstairs (lifts are available on request).
  • Children go with Mrs Shuka, adults go to be seated.
  • Graduation ceremony
  • There will be an opportunity for group photos. Please let me know if you do not want your child in these pictures.
  • Children return to parents and have the opportunity for individual photos.
  • Return caps and gowns.

Thanks!

Children’s University Graduation

The Children’s University Graduation will be held at Doncaster College, next Wednesday at 5pm. Children who returned their slips will be bringing invitations home next week.

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

An attendance and well-being treat🍦

The entire school was treated to an ice cream as a reward for improved attendance this year! Our challenge is to improve it even more next year. This also came at the perfect time as this week has been well-being week and it certainly put lots of smiles on their faces!
