Today, we debated Women’s suffrage. 5S got into character to imagine the perspectives of those who may have been for and against the rights of women to vote in the early 20th Century, holding a heated debated in our class parliament to present their views.
It was brilliant to see such passionate acting from both sides, all using their boards and placards to articulate the point of view of their chosen side.
Well done!
The children engaged brilliantly today to articulate ways in which they can remain safe online.
We discussed how to keep an eye out for scams, phishing, and other ways to protect ourselves and our information – always ensuring we have a safe and enjoyable experience while using the internet.
I was really impressed with the amazing ideas from the class, you are clearly all very aware of your responsibilities when staying safe online – keep it up!
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 ālearnerā we all are so we can support one anotherās 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’!
