VE Day Celebrations

What a lovely time we had singing WW2 songs and sharing a picnic soon the school field at lunchtime today, to commemorate 80 years since VE Day.

After posing for a whole school photo, it was time for a bit of fun, with some dancing and singing some more recent tunes!

We took a moment to thank those who gave their lives for us today.

Crew Schofield prepare for VE Day

Today in crew, we learnt about the significant event of Victory in Europe day – the events leading to and the subsequent celebrations of the end of World War Two. We then consolidated our knowledge by creating posters to decorate the classroom ahead of the 80th anniversary celebrations tomorrow.

I look forward to your designs forming part of our party decorations tomorrow, well done!

Crew Meade Donations

Thank you to all our kind children and families for all your lovely Christmas fayre donations. It will be a wonderful Christmas fayre next Thursday! #LovePlover

5S are parliamentarians

As part of parliament week, crews around school engaged in learning about parliament and its processes in our country. This helps us to understand the British values of democracy and law.

Crew Schofield enjoyed engaging in their own parliamentary style debates on issues affecting our school, learning how they link to the manner in which bigger decisions are made for our country. They also enjoyed learning about the process of a general election and how that determines our representation in parliament.

In our photos, members of our ‘house’ were voting on a bill that proposed the banning of football at lunchtimes!

Crew Meade Pay Their Respects

In crew last Thursday, we talked about real life heroes and soldiers who have lost their lives, been injured or fought in wars. We discussed how it is important to celebrate and remember these kind people, as part of Remembrance Sunday. We spoke about the significance of a poppy and made our very own poppy hand wreath. Abbie and Mustafa respectfully laid our wreath today in assembly, as we had a whole school 2-minute silence. #LovePlover

Proud to be Plover

It was with great pride that we had the opportunity to represent Plover School today at the Doncaster Remembrance Sunday Parade at the Cenotaph on Bennetthorpe.

Paisley and Anwyn carried the wreath, with the centre piece incorporating LKS2 children’s images, and placed it on the cenotaph, to complete the ceremony.

It meant so much to see many of the Armed Forces, both past and present, there and really made us think about our LKS2 expedition, ‘Lest We Forget; How does war change lives?”

Hopefully, this will become an annual event for Plover.
