Shout Outs and Mindfulness Moments

By Karen Coward4th February 2021

A shout out today goes to both Oliver and Alex. Today they have had a fabulous maths lesson, at the end we concentrated on telling the time. Super work boys 🙂

It’s great to see that we have been embracing Children’s Mental Health Week both in school and at home

Khongkwan managed to enjoy the snow.

Ellis enjoyed being outside.

Isabelle made some delicious looking treats.

In school we have enjoyed taking part in lots of mindful activities including sewing and making salt dough.

Keep looking after yourselves 1/2C.

Fun Day Friday!

By Karen Coward3rd February 2021

The KS1 Crew have decided that on Friday we are going to have fun and make each other laugh!

We will send you all a link through Google Classroom, but be warned, you need to be prepared… We want you to come armed with your best jokes, Mr Pickering is already getting prepared!

The next challenge is that you can come in clothes that will give us all a giggle. This could be something bright and colourful or something weird and whacky. Basically – just something that will put a smile on everyone’s faces. The funnier the better!

Looking forward to seeing you all -parents don’t forget if your child is working at home, you can get involved too.

Live from Pudding Lane…

Well done 2P for sharing more of your great learning with me. I continue to be blown away by your effort and creativity. My virtual Plover Praise postcard goes to Shayen today for this amazing television interview that he created about the Fire of London. It is amazing!

Shayen Great Fire Interview

I would also like to shout out the great wellbeing learning that has been happening. Remember how important it is to keep looking at positive things and doing things that make us feel happy. Scarlett enjoyed her snowy walk and Shayen made the positivity pinwheel. Johnny also made a positivity rainbow where he found nice things about who he is. A brilliant piece of refelection. Well done!

I can’t wait to see what you all create tomorrow!

Excellent Expedition Work

By Karen Coward2nd February 2021

In our Expedition lessons we have been looking at properties of materials. I want to give a ‘Shout Out’ to Paul. He completed a scavenger hunt and then provided information about each material he found.

I was really impressed with his poster, Paul provided a lot of information and experimented with inserting fonts and graphics. You superstar.

Paul then managed to have fun playing in the snow. What a great way to look at his chosen material in a different form!

Looking after Ourselves!

By Karen Coward2nd February 2021

It’s been great to see you looking after yourselves and taking time to relax and enjoy playing or doing something fun.

Shout out to those that have really got into the spirit of chilling and having fun.

Paul enjoyed spending time with his brother.

Khongkwan relaxed playing with her fabulous dolls’ house.

Ellis went for a ride on his scooter and then enjoyed a treat of hot chocolate and a biscuit. My idea of a fabulous way to chill!

Wellbeing.

By Mr Pickering2nd February 2021

Good morning!

Well, we seem to have been buried in snow again today! If you do go out in it make sure you keep safe and wrap up warm.

This week we are focussing on our mental health and wellbeing and some of you have already started to send in pictures and ideas of activities that help you feel happier. Johnny loves crafting and making models. This is his great Dino! You have earned our virtual Plover Praise certificate for your effort today. Well done! Shayen has shown the calming power of enjoying a good book and Scarlett has shown how fresh air and exercise can make our body and mind feel healthier. Well done to all of you for taking part. There are more activities to have a go at today.
