Dunkin Donuts!

By Miss Topliss26th February 2021

Children across school have been reading and quizzing to be entered to win a box of 6 Dunkin Donuts. Your teachers are incredibly proud of the effort you have put into reading over the past few weeks!

Due to success of this competition, we have decided to run the competition again! There will be a winner from each class and every time you read (and quiz for those children in KS2) in school or at home, you will be entered into the draw!

You have from Friday 26th February until Thursday 26th March to enter. Winners will be announced in Pride of Plover assembly on Friday 27th March, with the winners bringing their boxes of donuts home from school with them!

Good luck everyone!

Fire Safety Super Stars

By Karen Coward25th February 2021

It’s Shout Out time

In English we have been planning, creating and critiquing information texts.  We used these skills to design fire safety posters.

 

I was impressed with the choice of colours and clear information Darcy included.

 

Isabelle used her plan well, she then  put a lot of information into her poster, using a range of punctuation and conjunctions.

 

Ellis was really creative using himself to demonstrate Stop, Drop and Roll.

 

Paul was really proud of his background.  I was really impressed with his critique.  His  ‘I wonder’ was to add more information.

 

Great work again Superstars

Sew Fantastic!

By Karen Coward24th February 2021

Shout Out to Paul,

 

You may remember in the half term Paul made of pair of dinosaur underpants to link to our expedition.

 

Well, his talents don’t end there.  Here he is, scaling a pattern, cutting the fabric, pinning and sewing to create a pair of joggers.  How talented is that!

 

Amazing work Paul.

Year 1 Mathematicians

By Karen Coward24th February 2021

Our children have had great fun exploring measure in Year 1.  They have thought about height and length, they have compared measurements and used their hands and feet to measure.

They found objects at home or in the class that they were shorter than.

 

 

The children could order themselves (and us!) from tallest to shortest, giving clear sentences to show their understanding.

 

 

 

They could draw objects longer or shorter than their hands.

 

Great work everybody.

World Book Day

By Miss Topliss22nd February 2021

World Book Day will be celebrated in school and at home on Friday 5th March. We would love all children to get involved in the fun. This year, the theme of World Book Day will be ‘Books That Make You LOL’. We would like to invite all children to dress up as a character from a book that makes them laugh. There will be prizes up for grabs for the most creative efforts put into a costume.
There will be a ‘decorate a potato challenge’ which we invite everyone to have a go at. You can decorate a potato as a character from any book or even decorate several potatoes if you are making a scene from a book. We also will have a competition just for fun based on the TV show, ‘The Masked Singer’. Staff have hidden their identities behind books and you will be using the clues to discover who is behind the mask!
Vouchers will be emailed to all parents and carers for the World Book Day £1 books. These will take the place of the normal paper vouchers. Some shops are requesting paper copies of the vouchers so please check before spending the voucher. If you find you need a paper copy but do not have access to a printer, please let your child’s teacher know and they will print you a copy.
We can’t wait to see your costumes and celebrate with you!
