The Plover colour run is back! Thursday 28th August!

We will be kick-starting the new academic year focusing on character traits. As part of our first week back, we will be looking at the character trait compassion and raising funds for our crew charity of the year – the RSPCA as well raising much needed school funds. Letters will be sent out in the first week back and we require them to be signed in order for your child to participate.

We are kindly asking for donations which will be split between the RSPCA and school funds. These donations can be made every day in the first week back and we ask they are passed on to your child’s class teacher.

Please can your child attend school on the day in either a white or light coloured t-shirt. Whilst we would hope the paint will come out once the clothes have been washed, we ask you only send your child in clothes you do not mind being stained just incase the paint will not wash out.

Thank you for your continued support. Any questions, please see Mr Meade or Miss Blackham.

Pride of Plover

Last week’s Pride of Plover was a huge one! The stories we heard of personal resilience and overcoming challenges were inspiring. It was great to see how we all make progress in different ways and at different paces but that working hard is always the key. Well done to everyone for showing us what it takes to be our Pride of Plover.

If you go down to the woods today…….

You’re sure of a big surprise for Year 3 and 4!

Yesterday was the third and final event as part of this year’s National Literacy Trust Young Readers programme and we held the event at Sandall Beat Woods.

The children all chose their third free book and we went to the wood to enjoy reading and sharing our stories in the open air with nature all around us.

It was great to welcome parents and carers to the event and so lovely to see the children sharing the books with their family.

After a biscuit or two, we circled up, shared a story and completed the last community crew of the year.

We have felt so lucky to be selected to take part in the programme this year, and really hope we get the opportunity to do it again in the future.

Sports Day!

KS1 finally got their sports day today and what a great time we had! 2P really enjoyed the mix of different activities that we got to have a go at, with the javelin being the surprising favourite (despite the wind!). We all worked hard and had great fun and even challenged ourselves to do things we weren’t sure we could do. Well done 2P!

XP Arts Festival

On Friday, we celebrated the wonderful talent we have at Plover School and more widely across the whole trust.

The Plover LKS2 Cheerleaders and UKS2 singers entertained the audiences and the Year 4 dancers performed the routine they have been working on for weeks.

It was a very hot day but the children kept their energy high for their performances in the afternoon and evening and they were a very gracious audience for the other performers.

What a great day!
