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.
We are being active …

Pride of Plover
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 ARTISTS!
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!

Buttering our own bread
We have been practising independent in our snack time this week and buttered our own toast. Look how good we are at this skill. Yummy!
Counting Fun
We have had lot’s of fun practising our counting skills this week. We have had fun in the water tray with 10 little ducks and the interest tray with 5 little speckled frogs.
We are Historians.
2P have been History detectives as we explored the events of the Great Fire of London. We pieced together evidence to see if we could work out who or what was to blame for the fire starting and spreading. We discussed the evidence from different sources and concluded that it was the result of several factors, including the weather, Thomas Farriner, the Lord Mayor of London, and the way houses were built. We followed that up by looking at evidence from different artefacts that archaeologists have discovered, along with diary evidence from Samuel Pepys, to work out what we could learn about London in 1666. We are getting really good at identifying the cause and effects of events at the time!

What is the value?
2P have been busy exploring numbers and the number system and recognising the tens and ones digits in 2-digit numbers. We have made numbers with different resources and identified the parts and wholes of different numbers. We are now exploring how we can use this knowledge to identify numbers on number lines. Great work!

Miss Polly …
This week we have enjoyed caring for our babies. We learnt the nursery rhyme Miss Polly and we cared for and gave the babies a bath to feel better. This led onto a discussion about being hygienic and looking after ourselves. We also explored full and empty concepts in Maths.
Fun in PE
We had lot’s of fun in our first PE session today. We have been climbing, running, jumping and rolling using different equipment. Look what we got up to …
2P has Integrity!
Our character trait of the day was ‘Integrity’. We explored what the word could mean and what it would look like. We then went on a story hunt around the playground, where we followed clues to discover the next text. When we found it, we read the extract and discussed whether the character had integrity and what happened when they did or didn’t tell the truth.
We then looked at the poem, ‘I do what’s right’ and practised reading it. We talked about how it showed integrity. We decided to turn our poem into a rap and recorded the video. A great attempt after such a short practice!
