R.E. visiting our learning!

Year 2 had the opportunity to visit a local church to see in real life some of the things they have been learning about in their R.E. lessons. Despite the heat, we arrived at the church. We learnt about why this was a Christian prayer space and identified religious symbols and artefacts. Then we did a carousel of activities based on the Easter story to help us see how Christians can use prayer. We were all very respectful and had a great time!

Self portraits

Using the skills we had practised, 2P created a first draft of their self-portraits. They then reflected and critiqued their work and then did one more final draft. What a huge improvement! Well done to 2P for demonstrating their perseverance and observational skills. We can’t wait to see our creations added to our final product!

Building a Love of Reading at Plover – National Literacy Trust

This video was created by the National Literacy Trust on World Book Day, shining a light on the incredible work taking place in EYFS at Plover School to promote early reading.

The aim of their work is simple but powerful: to help families understand the value of sharing stories with their children from the very beginning, and to inspire a lifelong love of books.

Children in Nursery and Reception were treated to special storytelling sessions and each received a book to take home – making reading part of life at home as well as in school.

The National Literacy Trust continues to be an active partner in Plover’s current Expeditions, supporting Nursery children with songs and rhymes, and helping Reception pupils create their own stories. They are also training our EYFS staff to become Early Years Literacy Champions, building confidence and expertise across the team.

This partnership is a brilliant example of how purposeful collaboration can enrich learning, support families, and spark a love of reading that lasts a lifetime.
