Welcome LKS2! What’s happening this week?

What a great first day back! So many smiling faces – on both children and staff!

It was great to get the whole phase together for an assembly this afternoon – the first time I have been with my full phase for a very, very long time – and I was very impressed by the way children listened and shared their ideas.

We are having a ‘Getting to know you’ week this week, and tomorrow, children will spend the day in their crews, starting to create their new crew identity and getting to know their crew leader a little bit better.

Each year group has three crews and three crew leaders and we are lucky to have Mrs Danielska join the Year 3 crew and Mrs Carter join the Year4 crew as crew leaders. Children will start and end their day in their crews and crew leaders will be available at the end of the day to dismiss children from the Year 3 or Year 4 door, where the usually leave from.

On Thursday, we are holding our Sports day. Parents are welcome, please see Mr Meade’s blog post for more information.

On Friday it is our dress as a Viking day. We are launching our expedition “Coming to Doncaster – why then, why now?” with some physical and mental challenges and we will enjoy watching How to Train Your Dragon in the afternoon. Please don’t spend lots of money on dressing up outfits – there are lots of great ways to create a costume without lots of expense.

Just a reminder that we have our visit to Murton Park, York, on 13th and 15th September. please return you permission slips as soon as possible. The trip can be paid for through parent pay.

Finally, thank you for your patience at the end of the day when you are collecting your children. I know it is a little slow while we get to learn names and faces, but we need to make sure that the children are safe. I promise will get quicker.

If you have any questions, please speak to your class teacher or myself. Or if you prefer you can email me on [email protected].

Thank you for your support,

Mrs Graves

Year 6’s surprise Cleethorpes trip!

What a gorgeous day our Year 6’s have had as their final day of Primary School. Thank you so much to all parents and carers for keeping this trip a surprise. The children were so excited when we told them this morning. It’s been a beautiful day. The children enjoyed time at the beach and in the sea. They enjoyed slushes, ice-cream and a dinner and dessert at Pappa’s on the pier, time in the slots and some souvenir rock. This trip has been fully funded due to continuous fundraising support so thank you all so much again. It’s been a privilege to watch this year group grow this year and we are so sad to see them leave. We will miss them so, so much! Good luck our gorgeous Year 6’s, keep smiling, keep shinning and always remember to be kind, work hard and get smart!
I will aim to have final videos on our social media over the next few days 💙

Thank you again

Leavers picnic and pass out celebrations!

What a glorious day it’s been for our Year 6’s. They enjoyed signing shifts, a picnic with loved ones, an ice cream treat and they then finished off the afternoon having their time to shine and walking down the red carpet to a round of applause from their parents and carers. It’s been a funny year but what a fantastic day today has been and hopefully our Year 6’s will remember today forever.
I just want to take the time again to thank all parents and carers for their continuous support when it’s come to fundraising as today was all paid for by fundraising money- decorations, treats etc. It really is appreciated! We can’t wait to spend tomorrow with our lovely Year 6’s and finally tell them what their last day surprise is!

Leavers hoodies!

The children were buzzing with their leavers hoodies. They especially loved the #LovePlover at the front! A huge shout out to Nicki Reeve for making these gorgeous jumpers for us! Thank you to our entire Plover community who have supported our fundraising meaning there has been no cost to parents for these hoodies. True crew spirit!
