Beautiful art.

2P have used our work on Dennis Wojtkiewicz to inspire us to produce watercolour paintings of different fruit cross sections. We worked extremely carefully and used different techniques and brushstrokes to create different effects. We did brilliantly!

NumBots

2P have had another busy week with learning on NumBots. We had so many certificates to share this week to celebrate our achievements. We even had someone in the top 3 of all four leaderboards this week! Brilliant work!

Flipping good fun!

2P have been using our work on instructions to create and make a pancake batter. This also linked to our expedition as we explored the processes of food preparation. We also looked at the religious and historical background to why we celebrate Shrove Tuesday and how it is celebrated in different ways around the world. We chose different toppings and then ate them all up. Delicious!

Pride of Plover

A bumper edition to include our winners from before half term as well as last week. It was great to see Henry and Flynn getting the award for their renewed attention and determination to their learning and Yuvaan and Zehra for trying so hard with their learning.

Last week we heard how well Bella listens so well to critique and uses this to keep challenging herself, how Oliver had been showing kindness, Riley had made such brilliant progress in maths and how Trishan has been trying so hard in his learning.

We are proud of you all!

4V had purple teeth!

Last week, we learnt about teeth! We brushed our teeth and then used disclosing tablets to show what we missed. We had super clean teeth by the end of the day!

Sodexo’s generous donation to Plover!

Staff and students at Plover School are incredibly grateful to Sodexo at Doncaster Royal Infirmary for their generous book drive, organised in collaboration with Chapter One. Their dedication to collecting and donating used children’s books has had a significant impact on our school community. This contribution helps ensure our students have access to quality reading materials, fostering a love for literacy that will benefit them for years to come. 

A particularly special moment was when we welcomed Nia to our school. Mrs Lewis and Class 2L were thrilled to meet her, as they listened to her read to them a story and ask thoughtful questions afterwards. The warmth and generosity shown by Sodexo and Chapter One have left a lasting impression, reinforcing the importance of collaboration in education. On behalf of Plover School, we extend our heartfelt thanks for their kindness and commitment to making a difference in children’s lives.
