5S are dramatic!

As a hook into our writing about the Amazon Rainforest, children today imagined, then enacted, their senses and emotions as they took a hike through the dense jungle.

Many children were nervous, apprehensive and scared, while others showed excitement for their adventure. It was great to hear you be so descriptive about your range of feelings, I can’t wait to read about them in your diary entries!

Our spelling bee champions!

We are so proud of all of our Year 5 & 6 pupils who have all shown so much courage during this week’s spelling bee. So many of our lovely pupils have been practising their spellings and this was evident this week.

Pictured above are our fantastic finalists who truly deserved their prizes.

Keep practising those spellings everyone. We are already so excited for our Christmas spelling bee and we have lots more amazing prizes to be won!

Pride of Plover

Well done to this week’s Pride of Plover winners. They have all worked really hard, shown great resilience and are fantastic independent learners. Well done!

Level Up!

A big well done to these children who levelled up on Reading Plus this week – keep practicing – I look forward to giving you another certificate soon!

Spelling Bee

The UKS2 Spelling Bee is happening on Monday 13th October. Here are the spellings we’ve been practising. Make sure you practise as much as you can this weekend.

Good luck to everyone!

Dark nights

A big thank you to the representatives of Doncaster Council and South Yorkshire Police who spoke with the Year 5 and 6 children yesterday about the importance of staying safe as winter approaches.

Children were made aware of the possible risks of following irresponsible behaviour at this time of year. They also discussed what they can do to ensure their selves, friends and family remain safe – particularly over the Halloween and Bonfire periods.

We have raised enough for our Disney ears! Thank you all so much!

We have managed to raise enough for every child who is going on the Disneyland trip a pair of Minnie/Mickey ears. A huge thank you to all those who have bought tickets. Here are two of the winners and our lovely Minnie (5L) was the winner of the first prize but unfortunately, I did not get a photo of her.

We really appreciate the support of our parents and carers to add a special touch to a very exciting school trip for our pupils- thank you again!
