Lost Spider-Man mask KS1 children

13th September 2021Marie Newton

Evening Plover parents,

All KS1 had a wonderful time on Thursday and Friday for our special dress up days. It was great to see so many children getting involved. As it was such a warm day on Thursday, some children did take off their superhero outfits and one of the Spider-Man masks has unfortunately gone missing, which had their name on it. Please could kindly ask all parents to check their child’s bag and belongings to ensure the mask has not been misplaced.

Thank you so much for your co-operation with this.

Look forward to seeing all your lovely faces in the morning.

Miss Newton😁👍🏻

Fridays learning allowed children to collaboratively communicate and act out different jobs, key workers and real life heroes do. The children shared some super adjectives to describe the key skills and qualities people in these jobs have!

Hero Parents Help

12th September 2021Joshua Meade

Hi lovely KS1 Crew,

We would love the children in KS1 to bring in and share photos of their family members or friends who are real life heroes whether that be their jobs, their achievements or for something amazing they have done!

The photos will be used as part of our expedition display to celebrate real life heroes in our community!

Thank you for your continued support for your child’s learning.

Thank You Ben Parkinson!

12th September 2021Joshua Meade

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Ben Parkinson to KS1 on Friday… a true inspiration and real life hero! Ben and his parents were amazing, so kind and generous. They shared Ben’s story, answered the endless and purposeful questions all the children asked, and showed all his truly magnificent accolades – which the children and staff all got to touch and were just simply in awe.

This expert visit topped off a fantastic hook week which has definitely immersed our children into the expedition ‘What will I do to be a hero in my community?’

Check out all the brilliant photos and videos from Bens visit – THANK YOU Ben from all of KS1 Crew!

Class 1N and 1M loved taste testing biscuits this morning and came up with some brilliant adjectives to describe them, using their 5 senses. They also had a go at writing CVC words on biscuits, based on our new sound of the day ‘v’.

Crew Meade Superheroes learn

9th September 2021Joshua Meade

Children learnt about the importance of their HOWLs in crew this morning and showed how they will achieve their ME (Minimum Expectation) by using their super powers.

1M superheroes then explored and represented numbers in different ways. The children were immersed in their English as they tasted, felt, smelt and described biscuits coming up with some fantastic adjectives. Before using icing to write words which included our new phonics graphemes!
Fab day!

Busy Bees in 1M

7th September 2021Joshua Meade

So proud of 1M today, they have all earned 4’s in their howls for working hard, getting smart and being kind for the whole day which has been full of fun and learning!

Well done to CREW Meade for your Plover Praise postcards 🙂

Then 1M completed their first ever independent maths entry ticket and enjoyed maths activities during provision…

After break we enjoyed our Phonics/English literacy labs… collaborative problem solving to make our key text front cover!

Imagination lab where children created their own superheroes… then used adjectives to describe superheroes.

Engineering lab where children were challenged to include todays graphemes to build words for them to blend and read…

Then this afternoon in our Expedition Hook activities we painted real life heroes to immerse out learning environments (shout out to Miss Barker for the silhouettes)…
