Thank you Adele – Skipping Festival here we come!

21st January 2026Mrs Haycock

Year 4 showed great courage today when they embarked upon their skipping journey! Adele came to teach us the fundamental skills required to be able to skip in many different ways. Over the next few months, we plan to perfect these initial skills and then learn even more ways to skip than we already have. In June, we will be even more courageous when we take on the competition at a Skipping Festival where we will display craftsmanship and quality!

Let’s keep skipping, smiling and supporting each other folks. We will all be experts in no time!

LKS2 Times Tables Meeting

19th January 2026Mrs Graves

Thank you to those parents who were able to attend tonight’s meeting about the Year 4 Multiplication Check and how to support your child with time tables.

Here are the slides that contain the links to some of the suggested sites.

If you would like your child to come to the Year 3 and 4 Times Tables Booster Sessions on Wednesday mornings at 8:20am, please complete the Google form so we can pop them onto the register. They don’t have to attend every week, but it gives us an idea of numbers for the breakfast snacks we provide. Booster sessions will be starting next week on Wednesday 28th January. Please bring your child to reception.

We are Rockstars

12th January 2026Mrs Haycock

Plover’s first Rockathon was awesome! Well done to everyone who smashed out answers to so many times tables questions. You all looked pretty fabulous too!

Keep working hard on those times tables up to 12 x 12 at home as well as at school please Year 4. It’s not long until your official multiplication times tables check.
