We are bears!

Today we have been making bear masks. We have been practicing holding scissors correctly and cutting along a line.

I think you all look Grrrrrreat!

Superstar

Our postcard went to Sofia today. She has been so kind and caring and has made sure everyone had their water bottle. She has also been speaking lots to other children and responding to them

Well done Sofia. We are so proud of you.

Great work so far Year 3 and 4

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 ‘explosive’ experiments next week.

Plover postcard winners!

Well done to today’s Plover postcard winners!

Oliver Mc- for joining in during popcorn and coming out of his comfort zone

Maison- for his editing and improving skills during Expedition today

We are historians

We have been back in school a week. It has been different with some children in school and some at home but it has been a delight to check-in with the children each day. Last week we were artists and we learnt to paint and collage.

EYFS have been learning about old and new this week.  We have compared old teddies to new teddies. F2 have practiced reading sentences about old and new. We are all going to the story Peepo and think about what it would have been like to live a long time ago.

We have had some fantastic engagement from the children at home and school. If you are learning at home keep checking in everyday and sharing your learning with us on Evidence Me. We love to see your learning. We are aiming for 100% attendance next week, either through being at school or daily check-in. We can do it!

Practicing fine motor skills

Today we are focusing on using fine motor skills. We will be thinking about how to use scissors carefully, how to cut circle out of the middle of the paper and how to fix things together. You could make a mask, a split pin teddy(you could just stick it together), a bear picture.
There are a couple of examples that you might want to use.
