Making Map Models

We revisited the route we took to get to the woods. We looked at photos and made a large model map of the walk we went on. We used directional words and positional language to describe the route. #LovePlover

Our local community

Today we have been for a walk around the perimeter of the school grounds. We learnt about different types of houses in our community, including; semi detached, terrace, flats and bungalows. We spoke about what things were the same/different to school and our houses. We then made a bar chart of the different types of housing we live in, and drew pictures of different types of houses.

Working Hard Weeding

What a lovely afternoon out in the Spring sunshine! During outdoor provision, all of Crew Meade worked hard to rake, scrape, dig and pull out all the weeds, debris, dead roots and twigs in our planters. Then Crew Price came and helped by planting some daffodils bulbs! We can’t wait to see them grow… #LovePlover

Where in the world?

Today we have been geographers, learning about different places in the world where the bears live. The children chose their favourite bear and drew it. They then matched it to the countries that the bears are from. Some children made bear masks to match.

Hinduism and Buddhism in 3SG

For our faith day learning, we were first introduced to Hinduism where we learned about the origins of the religion. We recalled our Geographical skills to identify which countries have large populations of this global faith, then completed some reading activities to firm our understanding. We then continued by looking at how Hindu people worship in and out of their homes, comparing the differences.

Later, we were introduced to Buddhism and completed a fact file on what we had learnt about the religion as well as their manners of worship in temples.

Well done all!

TromsĆø and Intake D&T Box Models

We were design technologists last week and compared our local community of Intake, Doncaster to TromsĆø in Norway. The children crafted together physical features like fjords, valleys, mountains, waterfalls to represent TromsĆø. Then human features such as roads, roundabouts, shops, flats and Plover Primary school that we have in Intake. #LovePlover

Fantastic Year 1 Trip to the Deaf School

Year 1 have been absolutely brilliant today, showing kindness, respects and wonderful HoWLS during their visit to the Deaf School. We have completed a local community field work study, working with specialist local partners within our community and developing lots of skills and knowledge about our local community! I am sure the children will be able to teach you a few BSL signs when they get home. Thank you to all the teachers and children of the Deaf School who were awesome experts! #LovePlover
