This morning we have been getting fit with Jason Cunningham. We had lots of fun and learned some new boxing techniques.
Thank you Jason from everyone in 1/2K!

We are ARTISTS!
In 1/2K we are becoming really fantastic artists. We have been practicing and practicing our line art. We have drafted this piece 5 times, learning more skills as we go along! Yesterday we completed our final pieces by using the different shading techniques before we began our drafts. We are really proud to share with you some of the children’s work!
Time to Vote
I’ve just completed my vote for the general election… but more importantly 1M have cast their votes for the ‘Plover Pupil Election’. The children respected and loved the authenticity of the polling station, to vote for their Pupil Leadership candidate! Tune in to Plover Blogs for the Election results… other media coverages are also available. #LovePlover
KS1 Celebration of Learning
A huge well done to all of the 1M children for presenting your work and speaking so confidently about your expedition this term. Thank you to all the grown ups for your cooperation and for working hard on your BSL skills. The children were great little BSL experts! We canāt wait to keep adding to our BSL scheme of work, as part of our lasting legacy final product. #LovePlover
1/2K Celebration of Learning
Thank you so much to those wonderful parents who joined us this afternoon for our celebration of learning. They delivered a wonderful presentation of our learning and it was so great to see everyone being super brave to say their own parts. I am so proud of all of you 1/2K!
The children have worked so hard this term as both local Geographers and local Historians. They have shown great enthusiasm learning more about the things they see all the time and I am so proud of their achievements. We were especially proud of our final product. We have created a scheme of learning to teach others BSL, we hope to spread this around to educate and open up conversations for as many people as we can. This has been something that has been very important in our classroom and the impact for our children really has been something special to be a part of.

Behind the scenesā¦.
A sneak peek behind the scenes in KS1 this afternoon. We have been movie stars this afternoon, filming videos in front of a green screen with Geoff! This will be for our final product and we are so excited to share it with you. A big thank you to Geoff for filming and Plover’s own experts Joe, Zuzanna and Rahoz for being the best directors EVER!
We are artists
This week we have been awesome artists. We have focused on our monochromatic skills. First we developed our pencil skills to make dots, lines, shapes, patterns and decorative designs. Then we practised different shading techniques such as hatching, cross hatching, stippling and blending. Finally, we put all our skills together to sketch our line drawings of the Deaf School. Using Austinās Butterly critique we were able to refine and improve our art. We have created some beautiful work! #LovePlover
Text Coding!
In our English lesson yesterday, we explored our model text more deeply. We talked about common features you would expect to find in a Recount. First we talked about what a Recount is, why we write them and who we are writing them for. We then searched for evidence of past tense verbs, writing in the first person (pronouns) and using time adverbials. We swapped colours for every feature to show the difference. Finally we looked for evidence of opinions.
Reminder – KS1 Celebration of Learning
Good evening.
A gentle reminder to save the date.
KS1 celebration of learning will start at 2pm on Tuesday 2nd July. The children will be sharing their learning from their current expedition and teaching adults some of the British Sign Language they have been learning.
The celebration will take place in the children’s classrooms. Please enter and sign in through the gates on Queensberry Road.
Any questions, please speak to the KS1 team.
