Last week, our children discussed how rubbish and pollution can affect bears around the world. We thought we would be kind to the animals and insects around our school, by completing a litter pick to keep our playground and outdoor areas clean! #LovePlover

Where in the world?
Where do real bears live?
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
Making Model Houses in Doncaster and TromsĆø
Aerial view!
2P have been learning how aerial views can be used to draw maps. We used an aerial image of our school and then used a ruler and pencils to carefully draw the lines to create our own map. We added some labels and some symbols. We did a great job! Take a look at David’s beautiful work:

Human or Physical?
2P has been learning about the two main types of Geography; human and physical. We now know the difference between each different type. We then used our skills to identify these features in locations around Doncaster. We concluded that Doncaster is mainly made up of human features but we agreed we need more physical features as well!

We are Geographers!
Today we recapped our prior knowledge about the 7 continents. Then we located where the United Kingdom is and other countries in Europe. Finally we made the 7 continents out of playdoh. #LovePlover
