5K were swimming in pjs and clothes today for their swimming lesson!

Please don’t forget to wear a cossie too!
Just to let all Year 5 parents know that on Thursday the children will need to bring a costume, towel and a set of light weight clothes they can swim in AS WELL!
They will need to wear their swimming costume then either a t-shirt and light weight bottoms or a set of light weight pyjamas. I would also give your child a carrier bag to double wrap their clothes in as they don’t usually wring them out very well.
I am stressing the costume part as one year
a child forgot their costume, got their pjs wet then as they climbed out the water their pjs bottoms were dragged down by the water! Needless to say it was a toss up who was more embarrassed – them or the staff!
Competition Time!
The Junior Rangers from the Friends of Sandall Park are holding a competition to help to decorate and promote their notice board in Sandall Park. All you need to do is to create your own nature themed poster or nature themed poem and hand it in to your teachers before the deadline on 2nd July. There are prizes for the winning entries and your work will be displayed in the park! If you would like to find out any more information about the Junior Rangers, or would like to register your child with the group, please email [email protected].
Have fun!

Ice-pop sale!
Today we managed to raise £60 on our ice pop sale so thank you so much to everyone who bought one. Some children were too excited to eat their ice pops that they didn’t want a photo. We know some children had forgotten their money so please don’t worry, we will be selling ice pops again next week.

80:80:80 – Plover are Getting Active with Ray Matthews
Last Friday in KS1, and this morning in KS2, we had the inspirational and extraordinary Ray Matthews – a true role model!
Ray is an avid sportsman and a national icon, due to the astonishing achievements he has accomplished and vast amount of fundraisers he has done during his 79 years.
In a few weeks Ray turns 80, and 80 schools, will be completing 80 miles to raise money for Rays chosen charity Age UK! https://www.peoplesfundraising.com/donation/rays808080birthdaychallenge
As a school we see the importance of physical activity and exercise, and therefore from Monday we will be making a stand as a whole school crew, to complete the daily mile every single day – all children and all staff!
Check out the the truly astonishing video of Ray below!
Work hard – Challenge yourself – Get active – Feel great!

Fab fruit tasting!
As part of healthy eating week, we got to try some fruit that was kindly donated. There were mixed reviews from the children but everyone [very bravely] tried all the different types. We then voted for our favorite – pineapple!

Thank you Martin and Watson from Doncaster Dons!
Year 5&6 children were given an amazing opportunity today to work with Martin and Watson from Doncaster Dons. The children were so excited and have really enjoyed themselves. We’ve had lots of children ask for a tag-rugby club next year because they had so much fun! Thank you Martin and Watson for a fantastic experience!
