Are you interested in becoming a Literacy Champions?

By Mrs Hill21st January 2020

If any of our Parents/Carers are interested in volunteering to become Literacy Champions in our community we will be having a special training event at Plover after the half term.

You must book on to the session by informing the school office or speaking directly to Mrs Barras  or Miss Topliss and be available to attend on:

Monday 24th February 2020 from 1.00pm-3.00pm.

Volunteers can train to become Literacy Champions for free as part of this brilliant Literacy Campaign (which is Roald Dahl themed – if you’ve seen a buzz about golden tickets around Doncaster then you’ll be familiar with our campaign!).

Literacy Champions promote a love of reading through the activities they do. There is no set time a month or commitment expected from the volunteers.

 

Well done!

1/2T were proud of Kody today for really persevering with his writing. He has also corrected it too. Look how proud Kody is of himself! Keep up the fantastic work 🙂 

Thank you!

Thank you to Luca’s mummy and daddy for this beautiful map for our class. We are looking forward to using this as part of our topic and scratching off where we have all been!

Maths and English learning

By Miss Topliss16th January 2020

In Maths, we are learning about multiplication and division. We are learning to form arrays. We have a new word, ‘commutative’. This means that multiplication can be done in any way. Eg 7 x 2 = 14 and 2 x 7 = 14. The children have been using BBC Super Movers to practice their times tables.

In English, we are learning about the story of Icarus. We are going to be retelling the story in our own words and adding our own ending.

Super Movers have some videos for grammar, spelling patterns etc that you might want to use and discuss at home.
