Year 5 have been looking at the different painting styles of illustrators ready for our final product. They have been studying Quentin Blake and the colour palette he uses.
Today in Crew Chapman, we had to pass a ball around without using our hands. This helped us to try and understand what it might be like to have a physical disability. We have learnt that having a physical disability does not mean things can not be achieved but things may take a little longer, therefore we need to be patient. A great discussion guys!

In Year 6, we have been using technology to create music digitally. We have been challenged to compose a piece of music that reflects a planet from out Solar System. I can not wait to hear the finished compositions.

This Christmas we will be raffling off coloured Christmas hampers which would make the perfect Christmas gifts. Each class has been challenged with a colour and the idea is each child will contribute something in that colour to add to the hamper. The class with the most contributions will win a prize. Please see above for your child’s class colour and examples of hamper contribution ideas.

Museum Visit
What a superb visit from Doncaster Museum this morning! The children got so much from this well planned out session from the museum, who had tailored the workshop exactly to our guiding question and to the learning targets we have been focusing on this term. We can’t say thank you enough for this! The children had lots of objects that would have been found on a train to explore – what a treat when we usually aren’t allowed to touch very old and precious objects! I personally took a shine to the butter stamp. I wonder what your favourite item was? It was fascinating to gain such an insight into how the collection at Doncaster Museum was discovered and consider what impact the rail industry had on Doncaster, both on the town and their people. (Pictures to follow – I am having some trouble with getting them onto the blog! I am so sorry!) #LovePlover
Towards Christmas, we will be holding a coloured hamper raffle to raise funds. Every class will produce their own hamper for this raffle and we are asking for donations. 6H have the colour purple. Any donations would be greatly appreciated and could be anything from chocolate to socks – as long as they are purple! 😁
Thank you in advance for your support.

What a week this young man has had! He has blown me away and is so proud of himself – rightly so, William! Wear that shirt with pride next week and let’s build that confidence a little more together!

Thursday’s playtime was quite honestly the best in my career so far – and let’s be honest, I’ve seen my fair share of them at Plover! It was fabulous to see the children devise their own game which involved working together to be successful. I wonder if they will beat their score of 7 next week? I also wonder if they will be brave enough and silly enough to let me join in! 😉
Keep up the creativity guys!

Year 6 have worked collaboratively across classes this week, busying themselves with the production of the content for their final product. They worked so hard and blew away those who came to check-in on our learning. I hope everyone is incredibly proud of themselves. I know I am proud of everyone!

Sorry this is late ladies…you are both true superstars and were very much deserving of wearing your yellow T-shirts last week. You wore them with pride and were, as always great role models.
