A shout out to these superstars who were our Pride of Plover winners this week. We are so proud of you!
As part of Motivation Monday, Year 5&6 pupils had to write unknown facts about themselves to place in the centre of the circle. They then each took it in turns to guess who had written the fact. In our debrief, we discussed how we had learnt a lot about people we thought we already knew quite well and we then linked this to sharing what type of ‘learner’ we all are so we can support one another’s styles academically.

Today, 5S took part in a ‘hot seating’ activity where they took on the roles of interviewer and our model of ‘courage’, war hero Ben Parkinson.
The children asked open questions to ‘Ben’ about his life, career and achievements as a veteran. It was good to see you recall your knowledge of Ben to articulate your thoughts and feelings in character – well done!
A huge thank you to our visitors from Doncaster Council who visited year 5 this morning to talk about all aspects of road safety. We have all pledged to wear seatbelts in cars, helmets when riding bikes and scooters, always undertaking activities in a safe manner, away from traffic.
There was some amazing engagement from the class who listened attentively throughout, you really are ‘getting smart’!
In-school rock and pop band lessons with Rocksteady!
It’s been fantastic to see the children having so much fun rocking out in their bands and learning new musical skills.
If your child wants to take part, visit rocksteadymusicschool.com to check available spaces.
KS1 were visited by Tim from RockSteady today. He showed us all of the exciting instruments we can learn if we sign up to some music lessons. We drummed along, sang and played our air guitars! We had a great time and even made our own band by the end of the session. We had great fun and we’re really keen to start learning instruments. You never know, we could be having our own performances by the end of the year! Please check out the letter for details!

On our motivation Monday crew, Year & 6 children have been going head to head against other crews in a range of team building activities. This week, the children had to see how many baskets they could score in five minutes as a crew. I am so pleased to announce Crew Blackham were the overall winners!
I was so proud of the great sportsmanship I saw during this crew activity. We can’t wait to see what next week brings!
