Well done Year 3 & 4! What a week!

By Mrs Graves15th January 2021

A big well done to Year 3 and Year 4 for how you have engaged with online learning and worked hard in school.

Who would have thought at the start of the week that we would have had volcanoes, snow and disco – but we did and so hopefully that has helped you to have fun.

Miss Topliss and Miss Lister have been full of praise of the effort Year 3 have been putting into their learning and Miss Lotysz and myself feel the same about Year 4.

I look forward to reading the shape poems that you have been writing and also seeing your photographs of the fun you have had in the snow.

Enjoy your weekend and look out for this weekā€™s Feel Good Friday video on the blog.

Please join us for our Pride of Plover Google meet at 9:15, when we will find out who will get the yellow T-Shirt. Join the call using the link in Google Classroom.

Itā€™s ā€˜snowā€™ fun in lockdown!

15th January 2021Mrs Graves

The snow fell thick and fast today, and we really took the opportunity to enjoy it in school at playtime and lunchtime.

There were snow angels, snowmen and snowball fights galore, and mainly a real feeling of excitement from everyone.

It was great to see the children learning from home go out and enjoy the snow too – even if they did get cold hands.

Letā€™s hope we get to enjoy it a little while longer.

Please send me any photos of you enjoying the snow so we can share it on our blog.

Well done Year 4!

By Mrs Graves13th January 2021

Well done guys, I thoroughly enjoyed our online learning today. You are contributing so well and your behaviour online was very good. You are listening to each other really well.

Shout out to Pranav and Shyaw, I was blown away when you completed your work and then came online, asking if anyone needed coaching – TRUE CREW!!!

Shout out as well to Mathew – fabulous effort with your learning all day and I love how you contribute your ideas so sensibly in the comments box.

And for those of you I haven’t mentioned – you are making me very, very proud – well done, keep it up!

Looking forward to seeing you in the morning,

Mrs Graves

Shout outs!

By Miss Lotysz13th January 2021

Well done to all those who are accessing their learning, whether you are in school or accessing online, I am very proud of you all.

I want to give a shout out to Shyaw, I’ve heard fantastic things about your online learning and how you even coached your friends online as well. I also want to give a shout out to Floyd, for consistently good behaviour throughout the school day.

Keep up the great work 4L!

Great work so far Year 3 and 4

13th January 2021Mrs Graves

I just wanted to do a ‘shout out’ to all the children in year 3 and 4 who have been logging on and completing work. You really are becoming experts in using classrooms and have make such progress since last Wednesday. Well done -I’m sure you can teach the grown ups a thing or two now.

We have had some lovely practical learning being completed at home and in school to support our Natural Disasters expedition, with the home made volcanoes coming along very nicely. I can’t wait till next week when we start being scientists and completing experiments with them. Advanced notice for next week, you will need some vinegar, bicarbonate of soda and if possible (but not essential) some red or orange food colouring. If you can’t get hold of that, some Coca Cola and a mint will work too.

We have decided to celebrate learning at 2pm Friday afternoon, by turning Plover Praise time into our very own ‘Plover Virtual Disco’ – so get your party clothes on, do your hair and get ready to boogie!

Check out our wonderful volcanoes – you still have time to make your own ready for our ā€˜explosiveā€™ experiments next week.
