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.

Active Travel Rap

Last Thursday, we created a rap with actions to promote Active Travel. We enjoyed some physical activity with KS2 on the trim trail and playing basketball to end #NationalSportsWeek #LovePlover

Tromsø and Intake D&T Box Models

We were design technologists last week and compared our local community of Intake, Doncaster to Tromsø in Norway. The children crafted together physical features like fjords, valleys, mountains, waterfalls to represent Tromsø. Then human features such as roads, roundabouts, shops, flats and Plover Primary school that we have in Intake. #LovePlover

Y1 have continued their @YouthSportTrust #NationalSportsWeek activities by practising different sports day races! We also discussed the wildlife we saw on the way to school as part of @SouthYorksMCA #WalkandWheelSY #LovePlover

1C Recount A Trip… Through Drama!

Yesterday, 1C recounted their trip to The Deaf School using actions and signs! This helped us remember what we did in chronological order, in order to help us prepare to write up our own recounts of the day!

Active Travel and National Sports Week

Well done to all the children who are continuing to walk or wheel to school, parking safe, getting active and helping save the planet. We’ve continued being active in school too, with active crew, active learning and active lining up! @SouthYorksMCA #WalkandWheelSY
The children enjoyed the scavenger hunt to find the different national flags from the Euro 2024 tournament as part of @YouthSportsTrust #NationalSportsWeek

Deaf School Recount

Yesterday, the children did a verbal recount of their school trip to The Deaf School. Then today the children worked hard to text mark the model recount. They got smart and learnt about the features used within a recount write. #LovePlover
