SPORTS DAY

Hi Plover Parents,

It has been fantastic to see so many children and staff back in school today for our first day back! 🙂

This Thursday 2nd September is KS1 and KS2 Sports day – a celebration for all the community to enjoy, heading into (hopefully) a smoother year!

Parents are INVITED and can access the school field from 9.15am. Chairs/benches will be out on the concrete for parents to sit and watch the track events.

There will be an ice-cream van on the playground for children to purchase an ice cream (with parents supervision) after their running races.

The sports day will look and run slightly different from previous sports days, however we just want it to be a positive and fun start to the year for all children to take part in! It will consist of track races, field events and fun activities.

9.30am-10.30am:

  • KS1 fun events
  • LKS2 track/running events
  • UKS2 field events

10.30am-11.30am:

  • LKS2 fun events.
  • UKS2 track/running evenKS1 field events

11.30am-12.30am:

  • UKS2 fun events.
  • KS1 track/running events
  • LKS2 field e

We ask for children to come in their PE kits and to wear an item of clothing which represents their CREW colour ed, yellow, blue). This may be difficult as your child may have changed crews and may not know their colour, so don’t worry their full PE kit is absolutely fine.

Any questions, please ask your class teacher or email Mr Meade on [email protected]

We look forward to seeing you all support your superstars!

A few things to look forward to…

We’re all really excited about our first expedition in the Autumn term and are already busy planning lots of exciting learning for you.

Here’s your first clue: On the 13th of September (yr4) and 15th September (yr3), we will be travelling back in time and visiting this ancient village in York:

Look out for a letter before the holidays with more information and payment details. We will also be asking for a couple of volunteers to join us.

If you haven’t guessed how we will be launching our expedition, this next clue will give it away… At the end of the first week, we will be having a Viking dress-up day. There’s no need to spend a fortune. We will be sending out some ideas for DIY costumes before the holidays.

Enjoy your holidays and we’ll see you all soon!

England’s Coming Home

Year 3 were inspired to write poems about how the nation are feeling about reaching the finals and their upcoming match with Italy this Sunday. Everyone has worked hard on their poems and have used different styles to be able to create them. #LovePlover

A Personal Issue Inspires Writing

Jada was inspired to complete some independent writing about an article that she had read about swim caps for Afro hair not being accepted by the Olympics board and how it potentially excludes black people from participating. She has written a beautiful piece of writing about how important it is that everyone should be treated fairly and most importantly that everyone should be kind to each other.

We are proud of your independent writing Jada as I know your family is too! #LovePlover

Learning from home fun

I am really proud of the work produced by the children who are working from home and joining me online. They have taken it in their stride and adapted well.

We have been busy making our very own clocks to help us with our learning in Maths this week. Take a look at our designs below we even have an England themed one.
