We’ve had a big push on home reading in Crew Abbiss! We are all super proud and have seen a huge difference in confidence, congratulations on your awards guys!

We had a great visit to The Deep on Friday. I was super impressed with all the children’s polite manners and engagement. We were fascinated by all the beautiful animals and their habitats. We were fortunate enough to take part in a workshop entitled: “Caring for our Oceans”. It fits in perfectly with out expedition and follows the story of a killer whale called Kal who travels across the worlds oceans to try and find some help for some friends in need. We were able to explore the effects of plastic in the ocean, the animals that live in our Oceans and what we can do to help take care of our planet. Take a look at some of the photos and visits from our incredible day!

Please ensure your child brings their PE kit to school everyday where possible. Please also read with your child for a minimum of 5 minutes everyday. I can tell which children have been reading as I have seen amazing progress in their reading AND writing skills! Make sure you keep a record of reading in our new reading records, it would be super helpful if you could jot down how many minutes too.

Well done to those of you who are doing lots of learning at home it really does make a huge difference, I will be making sure to send out homework once a week and will be giving crew coins to those who complete it!

Amazing day again today 2B. I’ve heard lots of children telling each other to ‘not give up’ and that’s exactly the attitude we strive for here at Plover, keep it up!

On Friday we became producers, actors/actresses and directors! We decided we wanted to make our message loud and clear so we hope you like our video. I would definitely call Hook Week a success because I can’t stop talking about our expedition topic.

I want to praise all of 2B for their hard work this morning, we did a lot of writing and some self critique this afternoon with Mrs Keir. Just like Austin with his butterfly, it is important we look like scientists at our work and if we have to edit it and make changes to make it beautiful, then we must! I’ve seen a huge improvement in your attitudes this term. We are not allowed to give up, no matter how tricky the work is – we can do this together 2B!

See you all tomorrow.

Welcome back 2B! New year, new expedition! We have kicked off hook week by exploring our classrooms and shared areas, they look a bit different to how we left them. We have left lot’s of clues for the children to work out what our new expedition might be about. Then, this afternoon we headed outside to look for rubbish. We couldn’t believe the amount of rubbish on the school field! And most of it was plastic!

I asked the children how they would feel if all the rubbish they found was in their home and from their faces – it was disgusted! We started to think about how the creatures of the sea might feel being polluted by so much waste, and how this may affect us. I’m definitely hooked 2B and excited to find out more! Thank-you for a fantastic first day back you all put a huge smile on my face going home today!
