VR Workshop

3rd September 2025Mr Schofield

Today, year 5 and 6 had an amazing experience courtesy of Prime VR who visited our school to deliver a virtual reality workshop, emerging our children in the different layers of the rainforest. It was an amazing opportunity for the pupils to feel as if they were really part of our amazing rainforests across the Earth, learning about the ecological impact of deforestation and it’s impact on biodiversity.

We had some wonderful feedback from the session leader about the engagement and amazing knowledge of our students, even though the learning was all new.

UKS2 family learning event- Wednesday 8th October 2-3pm

2nd September 2025Miss Blackham

We’re excited to invite you to Year 5 and 6 Family Learning Chocolate Bingo Event on Tuesday 8th October 2pm-3pm and we are kindly asking for donations of chocolates and sweets please! Please bring in any donations to 6B.

This will be a fun-filled afternoon — a chance to come together with your child, share some laughs, and maybe win a sweet treat or two. Prizes will be chocolate-themed and there’ll be plenty of opportunities for everyone to join in. This will  also be an opportunity to support a great cause — all proceeds will go towards raising money for our crew charity, the RSPCA.

 We’d love to see as many families as possible joining us. 

Together, let’s make this an afternoon to remember — and raise vital funds for our charity at the same time. We’d be very grateful for any donations of chocolate and sweets beforehand.

Keep an eye out for more details coming soon!

Showing compassion and integrity in the community

29th August 2025Mr Schofield

Building on our crew week introduction to character traits, a group of Year 5 and 6 pupils today supported Doncaster Council to improve our local area by picking litter in the streets and community spaces around our school.

The children were very disappointed to see such high levels of litter where bins are made available, expressing their frustration that some people (and their dogs!) choose to make a mess around the streets where they live. They pledged to always have the integrity to dispose of waste properly, and to report anyone not doing so.

Great work, guys – you are true stewards of our Plover and Intake community!

Year 5 and 6 daily mile

28th August 2025Mr Schofield

Today, year 5 and 6 got active by joining their UKS2 phase friends in a mile’s walk around the field, helping them to feel energised for the day ahead. Some children even chose to make a few spots be even more active by dancing! Well done to everyone for your brilliant participation!

Craftsmanship and quality

27th August 2025Miss Lotysz

6L have been working on craftsmanship and quality today as one of their character traits. We had a look at a book called The Dot and produced some artwork based on a dot. We then offered some critique to help others improve their work.

Showing compassion in Year 5 & 6

27th August 2025Miss Blackham

Yesterday, we kick started our first week back and looked at the character trait ‘compassion’. We looked at what it means to be compassionate and show compassion and then we left school to engage in acts of service with our local care home. Some of our children played board games with the residents and they all had so much fun. The children learnt a lot from the residents such as how to play a range of card games and how to play dominoes. We are so proud of the relationships we are building with this care home and we hope to build on this throughout the year.

In a world where you can be anything, always be kind.
