A huge well done to the lovely 5/6’s who have worked so hard on Expedition this morning! Please take a look at our Jamboard filled with our hypothesis as to why we felt mining communities were so special.

The competition is heating up in upper KS2 but who has made it to the top of the leaderboard this week?
The individual competition had an out and out winner in Y6…well done Coby! I’ve never seen such a whizz on the keyboard as you when you’re battling away! Your crew mates are really proud of you.
We also thought this was the case with Y5 until last night when the person who had been at the top for so long finally got caught and then beaten by 2 seconds! Well done Ella your grit and determination got you there. Be proud!
But which class took the title this week? It was 5K! Well done everyone for a super crew effort!

Well done to Layla and Paras for winning the box of Dunkin Doughnuts. I know that everybody’s mouths were watering when they saw the boxes in the Pride of Plover Assembly this morning, including my own.
A huge shout out goes to everybody in Year 5 and 6 as there were lots of entries. Nearly everybody had at least one raffle ticket, meaning children who are at home and in school have been reading.
Keep up the awesome reading!

Children across school have been reading and quizzing to be entered to win a box of 6 Dunkin Donuts. Your teachers are incredibly proud of the effort you have put into reading over the past few weeks!
Due to success of this competition, we have decided to run the competition again! There will be a winner from each class and every time you read (and quiz for those children in KS2) in school or at home, you will be entered into the draw!
You have from Friday 26th February until Thursday 26th March to enter. Winners will be announced in Pride of Plover assembly on Friday 27th March, with the winners bringing their boxes of donuts home from school with them!
Good luck everyone!

World Book Day will be celebrated in school and at home on Friday 5th March. We would love all children to get involved in the fun. This year, the theme of World Book Day will be ‘Books That Make You LOL’. We would like to invite all children to dress up as a character from a book that makes them laugh. There will be prizes up for grabs for the most creative efforts put into a costume.
Please see our exciting World Book Day Google Site for all the information you will need for the big day!

A shout out to Shang and Jasmine for sharing their gorgeous Expedition work with me today. I am so impressed with the efforts you have both put in. Jasmine has created a flow chart on how coal is formed and Shang has created some slides based on the day in the life of a child miner. I am so proud of you both girls- well done and please keep it up!

We are so lucky to have been able to have a Q&A session with Mr Taylor who worked down the mine in Rossington for 15 years. He shared all of his experiences, stories and he answered all of the questions the children had. We found out what job role he had, the hours he worked, the conditions he worked in, what he enjoyed the most and much more! The children learnt so much and were so hooked in!
Thank you Mr Taylor!

Every time a pupil passed a quiz on Accelerated Reader their name was entered into a prize draw to win a box of Dunkin Doughnuts. The staff in Year 5/6 were pleased with the amount of quizzes that have been passed over the last few weeks – however there can only be two winners.
I am delighted to announce that Paras in Year 5 and Layla in Year 6 are our winners and they will be receiving their doughnuts in school tomorrow. I hope they are sharing with me.
Well done to everybody who entered the competition and please keep reading and quizzing. Now which class is going to be at the top of the league on Friday? #LovePlover!
Well done to Corey and Kyle for some great expedition work about coal.Keep going boys – it is great to see you on the live learning sessions too.
