Year 6 leavers celebrations

Friday 16th July- Year 6 will return to school. I will be filming on this day for their leavers video so please ensure your child is in school.

Monday 19th July- Year 6 will start their leavers picnic celebrations at 12:30. We are hoping to be able to invite parents but this will be confirmed next week as restrictions are made clearer. Children will require a packed lunch and will have the opportunity to sign shirts, share memories and have fun! The ice-cream van will arrive at 1pm and children will be treated to an ice-cream. They will also be presented with an award and their leavers hoody. At the end of the day, staff will join to clap out our Year 6’s as they walk down the red carpet and have their time to shine!

Tuesday 20th July- I have managed to rearrange the leavers surprise to Tuesday 20th July. We know this is the last day of term but there was no way we were letting our Year 6’s leave without their surprise- they deserve it! Children must be in school at the normal time of 8:40 and all will be revealed to them at 9am!

Finally, please send a baby/toddler photo and a most recent photo of your child to [email protected] by Thursday 15th July at 3pm.

Thank you all for your continued support!

It’s coming home poetry!

Wow year 6 you have blown me away this morning! The children have worked collaboratively to plan their own ‘it’s coming home’ poem using a model to support them. They then worked collaboratively to produce draft one of their poem before self and peer critiquing it to create their final version. They then had the opportunity to present their poems on our google hangout. We didn’t just have average presentations, we had a full blown concert as children sang and chanted their poems. It was amazing!! Well done my lovely lot! I can’t wait to see your entries for the next challenge! #CrewYear6

Scavenger hunt!

Year 6 had so much fun during our afternoon check in. They completed a scavenger hunt and we have some very competitive year 6’s! They are currently writing up their recount of their trip to Harry Potter studios. I’ve been a part of lots of discussions about the order of the day and which part was their favourite and why. I’m looking forward to reading the final pieces!

Awesome engagement this morning Year 6!

Year 6 have blown me away with their engagement this morning. They have got stuck straight into the challenges set for them. We have had a very artistic morning using models to support our drawings of Harry Potter characters. The chat has been buzzing all morning with children excited to share their artwork. I am feeling so proud! We will meet again at 1:30 for a scavenger hunt and then again at 2:30 for PE with Mr Meade- exciting! 10 crew coins to all who have engaged this morning for working hard!

Year 5’s HoWLs surprise treat!

Our gorgeous year 5’s were so excited when the saw the ice cream van pull up and they realised it was their surprise for their awesome HoWL scores! I am so proud of them. We’ve had a phase push on our HoWLs and year 5 have smashed it! They have all worked hard, got smart and been kind so they deserved a little treat! Take a look at their happy faces!

Year 6 final word- so proud!

I am speaking on behalf of all staff and parents who sat in on final words today when I say just how proud we are of each and every one of our year 6’s. The confidence our children showed when standing up and presenting their reflections of their time at Plover was awesome! I am sure everyone will agree just how reflective and emotional the presentations were. I can definitely see why you are now all secondary ready! All the children reflected on crew, HoWLs and Expedition and how these factors have contributed to their character growth and beautiful work. What an amazing way to celebrate their time at primary school!
