We are designers

This term, we have been designing kindness badges as part of our expedition: How can I be a hero in my community?

The children looked at different designs for badges and thought about messages they could include on their badges.

The children have been using their design technology skills to create their badges.

They chose the correct materials, added them to the machine and then created their final product badge. We can’t wait to share these with you later in the term.

KS1 Pride of Plover

5th October 2025Mr Pickering

Well done to this week’s Pride of Plover winners in Key Stage 1. We loved hearing about your courage in your learning. Whether this was through challenging yourself to try something harder and being brave to have a go at something new. Well done everyone!

We are artists.

5th October 2025Mr Pickering

After learning about the Great Fire of London, 2P developed their art skills so that they could use them to produce a piece of art that is inspired by the fire. We learnt about the primary colours and then mixed them to create the secondary colours. We discussed how colours can evoke feelings of warm and cold and used this to create a sun and moon image using these colours. We then used this knowledge to mix colours to create a background wash that looked like fire and we applied this in layers using sponges. We then used our cutting skills to create a cityscape silhouette to layer onto the background we had painted. We did some brilliant art!

This week we have had fun being active in the hall and on the field. We have used a range of different movements and shown courage to have a go at something that has been tricky.

Pride of Plover

30th September 2025Mr Pickering

It was brilliant to see the first winners of our Pride of Plover in KS1. We heard about children showing resilience, determination, hard work and above all, respect. It was lovely to hear how the children have made a positive impression on the adults in KS1 with the effort that they have put into their learning. Well done, everyone!

We are starting our unit of art and this will include painting. If possible, could you please send the children in with a spare top that you do not mind getting dirty.

Thank you!
