LKS2 Dress Up as a Robot Day & Family Learning

18th December 2024Mrs Graves

We invite children in Year and 4 to come to school dressed as a robot on Monday 6th January to launch our spring expedition.

Please don’t go to any expense – homemade is great.

As part of the day, we will be watching the film Robots which is PG rated. Please inform your child’s class teacher if you do not consent to your child watching this film.

We will be needing cardboard boxes and tin cans to help with our activities in the first week and would be grateful if you could send them into school at the start of the week.

On Friday 10th January, we will be having our ‘Create-a-Robot’ Family Learning event and would love it if you could join us in school at 2pm.

Please see our home-learning task sheet attached.

Good Evening Plover Crew,

Mr Meade who plays for Doncaster City, would love to see as many Plover children and families to watch his Doncaster City Football match on Saturday 30th November! All children will get a FREE Doncaster City football kit with a paying adult!

We are amazing artists!

We have been working really hard in Years 3 and 4 to produce portraits of our key artist: Henry Moore. Just look at this beautiful work to be proud of…

Every child needs to be proud of their achievements this week. I hope they take on their next artistic challenge of working with the media that Moore had available to him during World War Two with as much enthusiasm and support for each other as they have over the last few days…true crew!

We are artists!

We have been using the skills that we have been building up recently to sketch a portrait of our key artist: Henry Moore. Our skills of observation and proportion have improved dramatically and I cannot wait to see the finished portraits later this week!

Keep looking carefully and working hard everyone. Your artwork is fabulous!

We Care Wednesday: Friendship

19th November 2024Mrs Haycock

We have been thinking really carefully about what makes a good friend during our We Care Wednesday Crew sessions. We have thought about friendships such as Shrek and Donkey; R2D2 and C3PO; and Woody and Buzz. We considered how we knew that they were friends and what they would do if they ever had a falling out. Then we thought about our own friendships and how we could react or respond to our friends if we ever fall out.

Well done everyone, let’s look after each other and do all we can to support and care for each other.
