Year 5 & 6 children will be participating in a street dance workshop as part of world mental health day- Friday 10th October

On Friday 10th October, Year 5 & 6 pupils will be working with Street dance teacher Caitlin (the founder of Aftershock dance) as part of world mental health day. Being active has proven to have a positive impact on mental health which is why we have chosen to participate in dance to remind our pupils that it is important to stay active to keep a healthy mind.

Pupils are welcome to wear something yellow to acknowledge world mental health day and we are looking forward to a day full of mindfulness!

Do you want to learn how to play the saxophone? A fantastic FREE opportunity for four of our year 5 & 6 pupils

Year 5 & 6 were so fortunate to have a demonstration by one of the members of the Dyja band who came to play the saxophone for them. They are so lucky that this lovely gentlemen is offering FOUR free places to learn this instrument during their time at Plover with the possibility of extending this opportunity beyond their primary school years.

To play such a beautiful instrument would require a lot of dedication so we are asking that children really think about this amazing opportunity and if they are interested, hand their signed letters back to their class teacher on Monday.

How amazing would it be to learn such an amazing new skill!

Literacy Kicks Journalist Workshop

Thank you to Gareth from #LiteracyKicks #SportingHeritage #WomenInRugbyLeague for leading a Rugby League journalism workshop with our Y5/6 children! The children were immersed in the rise of women’s rugby league, due to the Hall of Fame 1996 Lionesses team! We were lucky to have Jill Adam a local inspirational role model who was an integral part of that team! The children wrote some awesome articles! #LovePlover
