Text marking in English!

This morning in English, we looked at one of our anchor texts- ‘Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets’. The children really enjoyed this reading session and enjoyed reading around the text. We had some great class discussion!

6B have been marvellous mathematicians this morning! They have shown great resilience ensuring they achieve their ME. I’ve seen some great coaching this morning and I am feeling very proud of my lovely lot! Keep it up superstars!

We are Scientists!

Year 6 were superb scientists this week. Exploring states of matter with water (using transfiguration transformations) resulted in cold hands and chocolatey mouths. Oh, and we learnt lots of new vocabulary too like sublimation!

Yellow T-shirt winners in 6B!

A huge shout out to the lovely Maisy and Darin for being the yellow T-shirt winners this week! Maisy was the winner before half term because she is just a shining example of someone who always works hard, gets smart and is kind! She is always so enthusiastic and positive and a real asset to Plover.

Darin only joined us at Plover on Monday and it’s like he has been with us forever. He is so hard working and he has thrown himself in to all of the challenges immersion week has thrown at him and he has shown great resilience. We are very lucky to have him in 6B!

Hook week in 5W

5W have been thoroughly ‘hooked in’ to out new expedition: The Magic of Motion. Our week has consisted of an immersion day, (where all the children helped to decorate our classrooms and corridors) an Art and a Science day all linked to our Harry Potter theme. Have a nosey through our pictures and see what we got up to!

The making of the Hogwarts Express!

We care Wednesdays!

Today in crew, we looked at relationships, characteristics and qualities. We discussed celebrities who have characteristics and qualities that we admire such as Princess Diana because she helped lots of people as well as Sir Tom Moore who was determined to raise lots of money for the NHS. The children then worked in pairs to write down the qualities and characteristics of their partners which definitely put smiles on lots of people’s faces. It was lovely to hear what kind things they said about one another.

We are scientists!

6B have been super scientists this morning! They have been immersed into another one of our case study’s that we will be engaging with this term. 6B have been looking at states of matter. They worked so hard at identifying what makes a solid, a liquid and a gas. They then used this knowledge to create anchor charts for our classroom. They are so excited to start our science case study next week!
