Roman expert visitor!

4th September 2025Mrs Haycock

Thank you Claire from Want2B workshops. We had a fantastic experience with you yesterday. Our favourite activity was using the role play shields to march in line as Roman soldiers using the correct Latin terms and stereotypical Roman army formations.

Looking at the genuine Roman artefacts was really interesting. Although, it felt weird to know we were holding buttons from the uniforms of actual Roman soldiers. Building aqueducts was great fun too. This really challenged many of us, so we had to be courageous to give the task a go and resilient when things went a little wrong and our aqueducts collapsed.

Special shout out to Zara who was the first to successfully build her aqueduct! You superstar, well done!

What an amazing day!

4th September 2025Miss Blackham

These superstars have done an amazing job as our classroom stewards and they have been holding us all to account in 6B to keep our learning environment clean and tidy. They have taken their roles very seriously and I very proud and very thankful for them,

Keep it up superstars!

So proud of the new 6B- postcards for all!

4th September 2025Miss Blackham

6B have absolutely smashed their start to Y6. They have all shown immense courage this week during assessments and they have taken them in their stride. They have all shown a fantastic attitude to learning. The children have really listened to their gaps to help them when making their academic pledges. I just know we are going to smash this year!

Well done my lovely lot! Keep up the hard work!

Compassion in 4B

4th September 2025Laura Brown

On the third day of Crew Week, the class completed some activities to demonstrate the character trait: compassion. We took part in the colour run to raise funds for the school as well as our charity the RSPCA. We also completed a kindness chain to display the kind acts we have done some far this year which we will hopefully add to as the year progresses. Finally, we decorated our own baby egg which we had to show compassion and care for to make sure it didn’t crack.

Well done 4B, we have shown what a kind and compassionate class we can be!

Pizza making workshop!

4th September 2025Miss Blackham

Some children from Year 5 & 6 were able to engage in a pizza making workshop at Pizza Express. They each made a margarita pizza through the guidance of Adrian the pizza maker. The children really enjoyed the workshop and getting to eat the pizzas. To spread kindness, some of the pizzas were shared with staff at XP to thank them for their hard work organising the arts festival and then to Plover staff to thank them for their hard work too!

Enjoy the video!

We Care Wednesday in F2BP

3rd September 2025Rebecca Bubb

We had our first ‘We Care Wednesday’ Crew session today. We checked in by sharing something we enjoy doing at school. After that we discussed what makes a nice classroom and what we expect people to do every day, every session, to make our classroom the best place and feeling it can be. We all agreed we ALL need to use kind voices and to listen to those kind voices. We also need to use kind hands and feet. We agreed to try our best all the time and to look after the lovely things that school provide for us. There were lots more! Maybe the children could tell you them? We call them our ‘Class Norms’. Mrs Bubb has written them all down for us to keep looking at to remind us of our shared responsibility. #wearecrew #loveplover
