Year 5 and 6 had a special visit from Tommy and Pebbles today, who gave them suggestions on how to get to the top of the mountain and be successful in their final year of primary school.
This was followed by feedback from Year 5 children who fed back to us about their trip to the RSPCA and what we can do to help and support them.
Today, Year 5&6 were lucky enough to meet Ben Parkinson- a true local hero who has shown so much resilience in his life. As part of first week back, we have been looking at our guiding question ‘how can we get everyone to the top of the mountain?’ Ben shared with the children about his injuries and how his friends/crew got him through such a hard time and actually saved his life. He also talked about the time he served in the army and all his amazing achievements and how they wouldn’t have been possible without his peers. He also shared how his injuries have only made him more resilient and how he now he raises lots of money for charity. We felt so inspired after the visit!
We also introduced the ‘Ben Parkinson award’ which will be announced at the end of the year and awarded to someone who has shown great resilience all year.
Thank you Ben- you hero!

Our HoWLs focus in our first week back is the ‘be kind’ strand. We have discussed lots of ways to show and spread kindness to our whole Plover crew. We started our first activity by creating birthday cards for all staff and our entire year group. When it is somebody’s birthday, they can take a card from the birthday box and feel special whilst reading all of the lovely messages written by our Year 6 crew.
We can’t wait to spread kindness throughout the year!
