Pride of Plover

Well done to our KS1 winners this week. It was lovely to hear how you have grown in confidence and how independent you are all becoming. We were blown away by Rishaa’s beautiful writing, Kuba’s lovely reading, Boromir’s brilliant attitude to learning and Kaya’s growing confidence. Well done to every one of our winners this week.

Family Learning

Thank you to all of the grown-ups that were able to attend our family learning event yesterday. We began working on part of our final product for this expedition. Year 2 began to carefully weave their own bracelets, which will be used to hold their shrinky-dink ‘charms’ as we progress through the expedition. The children have to earn the charms that they have made by preparing and sampling different food. I wonder how many they will get?

Keep Growing!

2P have been learning about what a plant needs to grow and stay healthy. We then used this to plant some beans and we will keep looking after them to give them what they need. We also started an experiment where we planted some cress seeds. Two pots will have light and warmth but only one will get water. The other two pots will be kept dark and cool and only one will get water. We can’t wait to see what happens!

KS1 Basketball Comp

Well done to our children who represented Plover at a KS1 Basketball tournament this afternoon at XP. The children learned skills and showed great sportsmanship throughout! #LovePlover

Brushing Our Teeth

This week we have been looking at how we can keep our teeth healthy, by brushing them. We have learnt how to brush our teeth properly, and used disclosure tablets at home to see the plaque in our teeth, so we know where we still need to brush. We learnt a song to help remind us how/when to clean our teeth, it’s been great to see some children singing this independently during choosing time! I wonder if they can sing it for you at home.
