We are becoming scientists next!

2nd February 2022Mrs Keegan

5K completed their exit ticket today on case study 1 where they were geographers. It was brilliant to hear the children talking about biomes and using geographical language such as Southern Hemisphere so confidently and enthusiastically.

We are leading our own learning!

1st February 2022Mrs Keegan

Well done to Elizabeth who has led her own learning at home and created this puzzle globe that links to our expedition. We have been learning about the continents and countries then focussing in on Venezuela.

Well done to Cole in 5T who stayed for a club and ended up completing home learning maths tasks with me – it was a pleasure to see your enthusiasm Cole when I know you have been worried about this subject before!

Digital leaders

1st February 2022Miss Lotysz

Students in Year 2, 3, 4 and 5 have an amazing opportunity to become a Digital Leader within their class.

This is a fantastic opportunity for children to develop their own individual skills when it comes to the latest technology. Children who are successful will get the opportunity to visit XP East and potentially the Apple Store to have further training on how to use technology including iPads, MacBooks and some of the other great products that are used throughout school. Our Digital Leaders will then become the experts who can then pass on their knowledge to others.

Below is a link to the Digital Leaders website where you can find out further information.

Applications will need to be sent to Miss Lotysz by Thursday 3rd February explaining why you would make a fantastic Digital Leader. This can be done in a format of your choice including a letter, slides or even a video showcasing your IT skills.

We look forward to receiving your applications!

PE kits and water bottles ready!

28th January 2022Mrs Keegan

Please could parents and children in year 5 make sure they have their PE kits in school on a Thursday please. Our time table has had a rejig and we have had to move the slots. Our kit is a white t shirt, black or navy shorts and indoor trainers [trainers which they are not going to be wearing on a daily basis as shoes to and from school].

Please could adults ensure their child has a water bottle in school so your child can have a drink. Due to health and safety we cannot provide cups. Any water bottle brought in from home needs to have water in, no juice or cordial as we are a healthy school please. Energy drinks are not acceptable.

Plover Ambassadors

26th January 2022Karen Coward

Our new Ambassadors had an exciting morning visiting XP East, where they had a tour of the school from their experienced school ambassadors. Our pupils really enjoyed the visit, the XP pupils were amazing and taught us how to make a tour interesting and fun. We can’t wait to start to show visitors around our school. Obviously, our first visitors will be XP East as we want them to critique our skills!
