Congratulations to this week’s Pride of Plover superstars!
Oliver has impressed his teachers with his brilliant reading. Zuzanna has grown so much in confidence and been an expert BSL coach for other children! Jacob, Gracie-Lee and Lerin have fitted straight into our Plover Crews, who epitomise the Plover Pledge! #LovePlover
Today, we made up our own pirate and mermaid names. Some of us used a code to find letters that helped us make them. Some of us just used our imagination to make them up and some of us picked from the choices Mrs Bubb gave us to put together into a name. However we made our name, we loved being creative and having fun!
Today Year 5 & 6 pupils built on their autumn expedition where they learnt about how growing your own produce can help protect our planet and how this links to our current Expedition ‘How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ Instead of purchasing strawberries from a shop, they spent the afternoon strawberry picking at a local strawberry field. They will be using the strawberries as part of our family learning event tomorrow. They were so impressed with how fresh all of the strawberries were and have shared that they want to encourage their family and friends to get involved with growing their own fruit and vegetables!
I can’t wait to see the outcome of the healthy desserts tomorrow!

We used our rekenreks to make ten. We used one finger one push to move a number of beads and then saw how many were left on the other side. We saw five and five make ten without even moving any beads. Now we need to learn the other number bonds to ten facts. If you see us, ask us how we can make ten. Mrs Bubb hopes we will be able to tell you some!
Hana and Thea got our Pride Of Plover badges this week. They have both been working really hard in phonics, and have shown great perseverance with their handwriting. Thea has also improved her attendance, coming to school every day this week. Well done girls!

Students at XP Gateshead are stepping up in a big way as Digital Leaders, diving into the world of technology to record content for their Expeditions. Teaming up with the XP Trust Comms Crew, these young tech enthusiasts are taking on the role of professional sound technicians. They’re not just learning the ropes of audio recording and editing – they’re skilfully mastering them, gaining hands-on experience that goes beyond the classroom and reaching into real-world applications.
It was so inspiring to see these students get stuck in and take charge of such an important project. Across our Trust, students are constantly proving that with enthusiasm and dedication, they can achieve anything. A massive appreciation to these Digital Leaders for going above and beyond!
A new curation of recent beautiful work has been installed in the Frenchgate Centre in Doncaster City Centre! There’s awesome work from schools across our Trust, with a key focus on our Curriculum seam ‘Protecting our Planet’ – be sure to go and see the awesome work our students have created!
