Times Tables Rockstars

Well done to everyone who made it into the top 3 of our league tables this week.

Let’s heat the competition up: crew coins will be awarded to all who improve the speed of their recall (how long it takes to answer a question).

How many you earn is down to you – the bigger the improvement, the bigger the reward!

Taste testing,

As part of our hook week, Year 5 taste tested various food items including beetroot, pickled onions and chocolate. All the children tried every item which made me very proud. Obviously the chocolate was better received than the pickled onions!

We are artists!

5K have been busy drawing a plague doctor ready for next expedition. We drafted a first copy, critiqued it then completed a best copy. These drawings will be part of our immersion corridor.

Great British spring clean 🧽

Great British Spring Clean

Some of Year 5 & Year 6 participated in the Great British Spring Clean this week in conjunction with Mick from Stronger Communities and DMBC.
Unfortunately, due to the strange weather we had that afternoon of strong winds, Hail and snow we were only able to stay within the school grounds. Nevertheless, thanks to Mick and the loan of the litter pickers, we battled the elements and ensured all the litter that had blown onto the school grounds was collected and bagged up.

UKS2’s Plover’s got talent contestants!

A huge shout out to all KS2 pupils who entered Plover’s got talent. You should all be so proud of yourselves. Especially as so many of you have never preformed in front of an audience before and it takes a lot of courage to do that, especially when it’s your first time. You were all absolutely fantastic and totally deserve the ten crew coins you received. Here are a few pictures from UKS2 pupils 💙

Swimming lessons start in April

We are pleased to announce that swimming lessons will be starting Thursday 21st April for Year 5 when we return from our Easter break.

All Year 5 children will be given a letter tonight for parents/carers to fill in. Children will need a one piece swimming costume [girls] in black or dark blue. Boys will need a pair of trunks [not swim shorts as they are not allowed]. All children will need a towel and a warm coat for when we return from the pool.
