5S are crime investigators!

Toda, the students of 5S transformed into police and actors to explore the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. They began by critically evaluating the events, listing various crimes and determining whether Goldilocks’ actions were intentional or accidental.

The class showed great maturity by practicing formal communication, learning to replace informal questions with polite, professional inquiries for their police interviews. They collaborated in small groups to prepare sentence starters, such as “Can you explain…” and “I believe that…”, ensuring their performances were structured and clear.

Courage and Respect in Action

The highlight of the lesson was the class performances, where 5S truly shone:

  • Courage: It took immense bravery for students to stand before an audience and perform. Whether justifying their actions as Goldilocks or delivering witness statements as the Bears, every pupil stepped out of their comfort zone with confidence.
  • Respect: The class demonstrated high levels of respect through active speaking and listening. By choosing their questions carefully and speaking politely, they maintained the formal atmosphere required for a professional police interview.

Overall, 5S delivered a high-energy, thoughtful lesson that balanced creative drama with analytical thinking.

No Room for Racism

Today we wore red. To educate ourselves and the community to say no to racism! We are all humans, we may have different colour skin, come from different cultures, speak different languages… but we all have a heart! We all can and should spread kindness to everyone, as we are all humans! #LovePlover

F1 Crew

We have had a big focus this term on being kind to each other, sharing and being good friends. We have learnt our school character traits, as well as learning about British values. F1 have all settled beautifully into school routines and I am so proud of them all.

Mental Health Day

For mental health awareness day we wore yellow. Spoke about how we can look after our brain, feelings and emotions and how to keep them healthy. We did yoga and meditation, physical activity (floor is lava), mindfulness colouring and craft making. The day was topped off with Plover School winning the Kindness Award! #LovePlover

Party Games – F2M Democracy

Our key text this week has been ‘It’s My Birthday’. Yesterday, the children were able to work collaboratively to sequence the animals and match the ingredients they used to make a birthday cake. Today, we discussed how people are different and like different things. We talked about different birthday presents and which party games we like. We voted and created a bar chart. It was lovely to see the children continue the party games in provision! #LovePlover
