Please join us for a short introduction to the Year 4 Statutory Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) on Monday 19th January at 3:30.
We will explain what the check is and share some ideas on how you can support your child in preparing for the MTC.

What a great hook week!
We started with chocolate tasting and then delved into the history of chocolate. We were introduced to the concept of Fairtrade and learnt about solids, liquids and gases with our expert visitor and scientist, Harry.
The week ended with our Rockstar day – kicking it off with the Rockathon times tables challenge. Everyone looked fantastic and had great fun on Times Tables Rockstars.
Looking forward to what comes next!

Year 5 turned the volume up this week as they rocked into Rockstar Day in true style! Dressed head to toe as rockstars, the children brought energy, enthusiasm and plenty of attitude to their learning.
Throughout the day, Year 5 focused on sharpening their timetables skills, showing fantastic concentration and determination while enjoying the fun, rock-themed atmosphere. Guitars, leather jackets and star poses were everywhere, but so was some brilliant maths learning.
The highlight of the day was taking part in the first ever Plover Rockathon. The children gave it their all, supporting one another and clearly having a great time while challenging themselves.
A huge well done to everyone involved for such a positive and exciting day. Rockathon results will be announced on Monday, and we can’t wait to celebrate the successes. Rock on, Year 5! 🎸⭐

Our new expedition: We’re On The Move – wheels, wings and other things! In hook week we went on a local walk around our community. We walked and saw lots of other things moving: cars, buses, scooters, cyclists, birds, squirrels. We used our geographical knowledge and map skills to spot things in Intake. #LovePlover
We love numbers! Maths is fun! Today we celebrated number day with lots of learning and fun activities all linked to numbers and maths. We worked hard to make our own number track games, match numbers, make numbers, jigsaws, bee bots and dominos! As well as using our counting skills outside! #LovePlover

Our new expedition is called We’re on the move! This week we have been looking at different ways we can move, keeping our bodies active and healthy. We had a go at making playground markings, using an obstacle course and riding the bikes.

Today, we followed our maps around our local area. We turned right, crossed the road, past the shops, along to the roundabout, turned left and left again, past the church, left at the end, past the post office, over the road, back past the shops and around the corner back to school. We spotted different buildings, we counted, we waddled like penguins…we had a really lovely morning! Thank you to all the grown-ups who came to help.
We read Martha Maps It Out in expedition. This allowed us to share our background knowledge of maps. We then looked at our local community on Google maps and created our own provision map. We practised the route that we will follow tomorrow on our fieldwork study. Outside children created their own obstacle courses, maps and vehicles! #LovePlover
