What problem?

By Mr Pickering10th February 2021

Well done to all of Year 2 for their brilliant Maths work yesterday. They used what they had learnt about grouping and sharing division and used this to solve word problems with bar models. Brilliant work everyone! A special shout out to Talliah, Tim, Morris, Yad, Julita and Jasmine who really showed great understanding when demonstrating how they knew their answers. You all win today’s Praise Postcard.

I would also like to give Shayen another shout out for upcycling an old plastic bottle to turn it into an awesome new planter. He used his knowledge of the properties of different materials to choose the best equipment tp use. Great learning Shayen!

Great Maths

By Mr Pickering9th February 2021

We have been working hard to understand division as sharing and grouping during our Maths sessions and this is some of the great work that I have been sent. A massive well done to Tommy and Shayen for so clearly demonstrating their understanding. Tommy, you get today’s virtual Plover Praise Postcard. Great work!

I would also like to give a massive shout out to Johnny who has made this amazing London Eye model. It has been constructed to allow for it to rotate so that it has moving parts. Superb engineering Johnny!

Have a great day.

Pride of Plover and End of Week Appreciations

5th February 2021Karen Coward

The Crew in KS1 are doing a happy dance … again!

 

 

Firstly, thank you all for coming in with jokes and dressed in funny, silly or bright clothes today.    It brightened up the day and gave us all a good laugh.  Next week, we will have classroom games (usual school uniform to be worn).

The Crew in KS1 continue to be impressed with their fabulous pupils.  We have so many who continually work hard from home each day, completing all work set to a great standard.  Many then go on to complete additional tasks.  Again, another huge shout out to parents it’s great to see so many of you on line each day.

We also need to give a shout out to each and every child in school who are fully embracing their learning.

 

YOU ARE ALL ABSOLUTE SUPERSTARS.

 

This weeks Pride of Plover stars in KS1 are

 

Rahand – 1M.  Rahand has worked so hard in all lessons – it has also been great to see him joining in lots of games at playtimes.  Great work Rahand.

 

Darwin -2P  Darwin always works hard at school but currently he is working remotely, he is attending all lessons where he joins in discussions and completes all work set.  The really amazing part to this is that Darwin is currently working from a different country – that shows true dedication to learning.

 

 

Viktoria –  1/2C I have been so impressed with how Viktoria has grown in confidence over the last couple of weeks.  She has really shone during class discussions!

 

The crew in KS1 are so proud of you all.  We love having the opportunity to teach you all.

 

Have a great weekend – Don’t forget it’s teacher training day on Friday 12th and then it’s half term where you all get a well deserved rest.

Happy minds.

By Mr Pickering5th February 2021

Thank you for all of the learning that you keep sending in to me. I might sound like a stuck record but the quality of your work really does blow me away.

I would like to give today’s virtual Plover Praise Postcard to Scarlett who keeps sharing the highest quality learning. Take a look at her amazing, Science, Wellbeing and English interview below:

I would also like to give a shout out to Lexi and Shayen for their excellent learning. Shayen has produced some string art in the style of a burning London building, which is a very clever idea. Lexi has continued to work really hard on developing her English skills as well. Keep it going!

The KS1 Crew have decided that on Friday we are going to have fun and make each other laugh!

We will send you all a link through Google Classroom, but be warned, you need to be prepared… We want you to come armed with your best jokes, Mr Pickering is already getting prepared!

The next challenge is that you can come in clothes that will give us all a giggle.  This could be something bright and colourful or something weird and whacky.  Basically – just something that will put a smile on everyone’s faces. The funnier the better!

Looking forward to seeing you all -parents don’t forget if your child is working at home, you can get involved too.

Live from Pudding Lane…

Well done 2P for sharing more of your great learning with me. I continue to be blown away by your effort and creativity. My virtual Plover Praise postcard goes to Shayen today for this amazing television interview that he created about the Fire of London. It is amazing!

Shayen Great Fire Interview

I would also like to shout out the great wellbeing learning that has been happening. Remember how important it is to keep looking at positive things and doing things that make us feel happy. Scarlett enjoyed her snowy walk and Shayen made the positivity pinwheel. Johnny also made a positivity rainbow where he found nice things about who he is. A brilliant piece of refelection. Well done!

I can’t wait to see what you all create tomorrow!

Wellbeing.

By Mr Pickering2nd February 2021

Good morning!

Well, we seem to have been buried in snow again today! If you do go out in it make sure you keep safe and wrap up warm.

This week we are focussing on our mental health and wellbeing and some of you have already started to send in pictures and ideas of activities that help you feel happier. Johnny loves crafting and making models. This is his great Dino! You have earned our virtual Plover Praise certificate for your effort today. Well done! Shayen has shown the calming power of enjoying a good book and Scarlett has shown how fresh air and exercise can make our body and mind feel healthier. Well done to all of you for taking part. There are more activities to have a go at today.

 

Have a great day!
