If you haven’t yet booked, please scan the appropriate QR code for your child’s class from those below to do so.
Thank you for your continued support.

We have had a great first day back in Years 3 and 4. Our new expedition title is: From Bean to Bar. The guiding question our children will be answering is: What’s the cost of a bar of chocolate? Instead of simply considering the financial cost of a bar of chocolate, we will be working closely around ‘Fairtrade’ and looking at how farmers in equatorial countries are supported by the ‘Fairtrade’ foundation.
The children played a ‘Catchphrase’ style of game to work out the expedition title and guiding question – well done to Alec in 4H who used the clues on the screen to solve our conundrum first!
This afternoon we became chocolate connoisseurs by tasting a range of different ‘Fairtrade’ chocolate products. We have been considering the appearance, aroma, taste and texture of these different chocolates so that we can produce our own chocolate ‘bark’ later in the term.

Year 4 have been busy exploring the factors and factor pairs of different values today. Well done every one. When using the manipulatives as modelled and instructed, you all managed to succeed today!
Be ready to find more factors and factor pairs of more challenging values tomorrow, folks!

6B kick started their first case study today and became scientists. They predicted if solids would dissolve in liquids and if the temperature would impact the final results. They further developed their prior knowledge of states of matter. We are looking forward to even more science experiments tomorrow!

We are so excited for our upcoming rockstar dress up day. A day where TT rockstar battles will take place to see who the ultimate TT rockstars are at Plover Primary school. We can not wait to see all of their children in their costumes. Please do not feel you have to purchase anything new. There are lots of examples of DIY costumes online including items you will more than likely already have at home.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s phase leader:

Thank you for your continued support in our mission to improve timetables recall and giving children memorable experiences in school!

A polite reminder about our upcoming dress up day which is on Tuesday 6th January. We are asking pupils to dress as someone/ in something resembling Tudor times. This was sent out as a letter in November and added to our parent overview before Christmas.
Please do not feel you have to buy a costume, there are lots of examples online. Your child may want to come dressed in dark colours with faceprint resembling coal/dirt to come as a poor person in Tudor times. They could also dress as maids/servants. Some children have drawn a Tudor rose over the holidays and are sticking this to a plain t-shirt.
We are really looking forward to this upcoming expedition and can’t wait for all the engaging lessons we have planned. Any questions, please do contact me- [email protected]

As we come to the end of the autumn term, we want to say a big thank you to our school community for your ongoing support.
To our children, families, wider community and staff, thank you for the energy, dedication, and teamwork you’ve brought throughout the year. It’s been a busy and positive start to the year, and we’re proud of everything that’s been achieved.
Take a look at the first edition of the Plover Press to see some of the term’s highlights!
We wish everyone a happy, restful Christmas break and look forward to welcoming you back in the new year.
The Plover Crew xx
A number of deaf and hearing pupils from Plover School and the ARChi team have been working collaboratively on a British Sign Language version of the Twelve Days of Christmas.
This is another example of diversity and belonging that runs through our schools and is a concrete example of our culture of Crew.
On behalf of XP Trust, we would like to wish everyone a peaceful Christmas and New Year.
