School Photography – 9th October

29th September 2025Sarah Shaw

On Thursday October 9th, our school photographer, VC Photography, will be in school to take individual & sibling photos of all year groups from Nursery to Year 6.  
We will ensure that siblings are paired up and escorted to and from the hall for their sibling photographs.
Our photographer will also extend a photo opportunity to our families with younger siblings, who do not currently attend our school.
If you would like your children photographed together, please come to the school hall (via main reception) between 8am and 8.40am where our photographer will be set up.  We will try to accomodate all requests, however, we need to run to schedule and we anticipate that this early session will be very popular, please allow plenty of time as there may be a queue.  

Once the photographs have been taken, you will receive an email from the photographer for you to view your photographs and place any orders online.  Any orders placed by the deadline will be delivered in time for Christmas.

Today we looked at shapes in a house. We noticed a square and triangle. Using lolly pop sticks we made our houses. 4 sticks to make the square and 3 sticks to make the triangle for a roof. #LovePlover

Harvest festival donations!

29th September 2025Miss Blackham

We are kindly asking for donations in aid of the harvest festival. We aim to create a ‘tin trial’ around school of all donations and then gift them to the Plover pantry- a much needed resource!

Please pass on any donations to your child’s class teacher on or before the 9th October.

Y6 revision competition! Do you want to win a boo basket?

28th September 2025Miss Blackham

We have been blown away by the amount of revision and home learning that has already been completed by our Year 6’s so we have decided to run a halloween competition. Everyone who completes revision and home learning will be given a ticket into our prize draw (this already includes all the homework that has already been completed). We will pick a winner On November 3rd (the first day back after half-term).

Keep working hard and getting smart Y6 and you could be the winner of this super cute ‘Boo basket!’

Do you want to learn how to play the saxophone? A fantastic FREE opportunity for four of our year 5 & 6 pupils

27th September 2025Miss Blackham

Year 5 & 6 were so fortunate to have a demonstration by one of the members of the Dyja band who came to play the saxophone for them. They are so lucky that this lovely gentlemen is offering FOUR free places to learn this instrument during their time at Plover with the possibility of extending this opportunity beyond their primary school years.

To play such a beautiful instrument would require a lot of dedication so we are asking that children really think about this amazing opportunity and if they are interested, hand their signed letters back to their class teacher on Monday.

How amazing would it be to learn such an amazing new skill!
