It’s Week 2 Already!?

7th November 2021Lucy Barker

I just wanted to say how proud I am of 2B! This past week we have been lucky enough to have Mrs Coward come and help me teach some English and she has been blown away! It makes me so proud to hear other staff say how far children have come along, especially as I didn’t know any of 2B until the summer. I have been loving seeing quieter children contribute to class discussions and being so brave reading in front of all their friends. I have also had comments from lunchtime staff about how good our manners are. That is part of being kind and is so important! Well done 2B, how lucky am I to have the best class at Plover!

Also a massive thank-you to parents and children for attendance, I had a look at the data on Friday and I’ve got lots of children with 100%! Keep this up and we’ll win more money to spend on something fun and exciting at the end of term! (We’ve won £15 so far!).

Thank-you to Olivias Mum for the delicious cakes on Friday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and I will see you tomorrow!

Fantastic Fun at Club!

5th November 2021Louise Chapman

Tonight the UKS2 circuit training club joined forces with the year ones, in their Commando Joe Club. I noticed the children (and adults) were having lots of fun while getting fit together and I praise the team building that was going on.

Awesome guys! I can’t wait till next time.

We were so lucky today to have more special visitors in school! We had the chance to ask these real life heroes some questions about their jobs and they were kind enough to let us try on a police hat! Then, there was a surprise waiting outside – a police van! We were able to walk through the van and see the equipment close up. We had so much fun, thank-you to PC Telford and your colleagues for taking the time to come and talk to us.

Police Officers Visit Plover 👮🏽👮🏼‍♀️👮🏾‍♂️

4th November 2021Joshua Meade

This afternoon our children absolutely loved meeting some more expert visitors – who are also real life heroes within our community.
Children asked questions to deepen their understanding of what it entails to be a real life hero. This was such a valuable experience for the children as they can refer to it in their expedition learning.

Thanks to PC Telford, PC Everton and PC Sam for their time and allowing the children to explore the riot van and uniform!

Who would like to be a police officer?

    The police visited Plover

    4th November 2021Marie Newton

    As part of Expedition lessons, we had a special visit from some local police officers. Our children had a wonderful afternoon asking questions, trying equipment on and even got to go inside the big riot van. Thank you to those police officers, who kindly took time out of their day, to come and make it special for our key stage 1 children. 😁👍🏼 #loveplover

      Welcome Back!

      3rd November 2021Lucy Barker

      Welcome back 2B I have missed you all over the half term. I’ve loved hearing what the children have been getting up to in their holidays. We have had an exciting first few days back!

      On Monday, we read our new text “Let the Children March”. I love this book, it explains an account of a very brave child who took part in the Children’s Crusade – a March organised by Martin Luther King to fight segregation laws in the 60’s in America. I was so impressed with the children’s comprehension, there are lots of tricky words in this book! Have a look at some of the examples in the photo below. To explain the idea of segregation, I told the children that if they had blue eyes they weren’t allowed to play on the trim trail. They couldn’t believe I would be so mean! Some children questioned it and others were very rightly upset and we all agreed it was unfair. Let’s see what other exciting lessons we will have based on this text!

      Yesterday, we had a very exciting visitor! A real life artist called David! He drew Mr Meade and we were amazed, it looked just like him. We will be using our own drawings for a very exciting project linked to our expedition – take a look at just how proud we are of our work.

      Artist Expert Workshop

      2nd November 2021Josh Meade

      Thank you to David Smith who is a well known artist from Doncaster. David shared his story and experiences of what he has achieved to become an artist. He then answered questions which the children asked. Before spending time with each KS1 class and teaching them skills on how to draw, use different medians and shade.
      Can you guess who we drew?
      David and Mr Meade were blown away by the qualities of drawings 1M produced and we look forward to showcasing our art on our final produce poster and postcards!
