We are chocolatiers!

12th January 2026Mrs Haycock

Shout out to Alec and Raegan who have both designed and made their own chocolate as home learning! It really was delicious boys, so thank you for sharing. Should anyone else wish to make thier own chocolate bars, I’d be more than happy to taste test them for you!

Well done boys!

Thank you Harry!

12th January 2026Mrs Haycock

Year 4 were visited by Harry – our expert scientist – who kindly launched the science topic that we will be studying during this expedition. He introduced the children to states of matter: solids, liquids and gases. We were mesmerised by the video of experiments he prepared for us in his lab at university and have been really inspired by him. When he inflated a balloon right in front of us, without blowing it up in the normal way, gasps were heard from all. I wonder if your children can tell you how Harry did this?

Thank you Harry!

What a great hook week!

We started with chocolate tasting and then delved into the history of chocolate. We were introduced to the concept of Fairtrade and learnt about solids, liquids and gases with our expert visitor and scientist, Harry.

The week ended with our Rockstar day – kicking it off with the Rockathon times tables challenge. Everyone looked fantastic and had great fun on Times Tables Rockstars.

Looking forward to what comes next!

Rockstars Day!

9th January 2026Mrs Lewis

Year 5 turned the volume up this week as they rocked into Rockstar Day in true style! Dressed head to toe as rockstars, the children brought energy, enthusiasm and plenty of attitude to their learning.

Throughout the day, Year 5 focused on sharpening their timetables skills, showing fantastic concentration and determination while enjoying the fun, rock-themed atmosphere. Guitars, leather jackets and star poses were everywhere, but so was some brilliant maths learning.

The highlight of the day was taking part in the first ever Plover Rockathon. The children gave it their all, supporting one another and clearly having a great time while challenging themselves.

A huge well done to everyone involved for such a positive and exciting day. Rockathon results will be announced on Monday, and we can’t wait to celebrate the successes. Rock on, Year 5! 🎸⭐

We’re On The Move

9th January 2026Joshua Meade

Our new expedition: We’re On The Move – wheels, wings and other things! In hook week we went on a local walk around our community. We walked and saw lots of other things moving: cars, buses, scooters, cyclists, birds, squirrels. We used our geographical knowledge and map skills to spot things in Intake. #LovePlover

Number Day in F2

9th January 2026Joshua Meade

We love numbers! Maths is fun! Today we celebrated number day with lots of learning and fun activities all linked to numbers and maths. We worked hard to make our own number track games, match numbers, make numbers, jigsaws, bee bots and dominos! As well as using our counting skills outside! #LovePlover
