If you go down to the woods today…….

15th July 2025Mrs Graves

You’re sure of a big surprise for Year 3 and 4!

Yesterday was the third and final event as part of this year’s National Literacy Trust Young Readers programme and we held the event at Sandall Beat Woods.

The children all chose their third free book and we went to the wood to enjoy reading and sharing our stories in the open air with nature all around us.

It was great to welcome parents and carers to the event and so lovely to see the children sharing the books with their family.

After a biscuit or two, we circled up, shared a story and completed the last community crew of the year.

We have felt so lucky to be selected to take part in the programme this year, and really hope we get the opportunity to do it again in the future.

XP Arts Festival

13th July 2025Mrs Graves

On Friday, we celebrated the wonderful talent we have at Plover School and more widely across the whole trust.

The Plover LKS2 Cheerleaders and UKS2 singers entertained the audiences and the Year 4 dancers performed the routine they have been working on for weeks.

It was a very hot day but the children kept their energy high for their performances in the afternoon and evening and they were a very gracious audience for the other performers.

What a great day!

We are making fossils…

Year 3 have set up an experiment to help them understand fossils and how they are formed. I wonder what they will discover when they finally uncover their buried specimens.

Volcano experiment

10th June 2025Laura Brown

In 3B, we have been learning all about the parts of a volcano and how they have been formed. The class were very excited to have a go at creating their own mini volcanoes using sourdough to erupt. We then used dyed sourdough to place over the erupted “lava” replicate the building of layers of solidified lava (igneous rock) over time after each eruption.
