Crew Party in F2M

We introduced our first Plover character trait today at our Crew party – courage! We showed great courage to join in our party games and do forefeits infront of our friends. We played musical statues, pass the parcel, musical bumps, had party food and finished with the balloon game! #LovePlover

Balancing a beanbag

In outdoor time today we practiced our motor skills and balancing skills by using beanbags. The children balanced the beanbag on their head, hand and then another part of their body. Balancing on shoes was tricky!

Counting Sticks

In maths today we learnt to count large objects that we cannot move. So counting bear helped us by showing us to use a counting stick to point. The children counted 7 trees, 4 flower beds, 1 shed, 12 tyres. #LovePlover

1C Investigates: THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON.

Yesterday, our playground turned into a giant investigation zone! The children searched high and low to find jigsaw pieces, each one revealing a different possible cause of the Great Fire of London.

Once we pieced the clues together, we had some brilliant discussions – was the fire started on purpose, or was it just an unfortunate accident? After hearing all the evidence, our class held a jury vote…

 Verdict is in: 1C officially believes the Great Fire of London was an accident!

The children were so engaged and thoughtful – we were so impressed by how they worked together like real historians to reach a conclusion.

Animal Antics in PE

We had so much fun in PE, moving like different animals. We made a small sequence by putting 2 different movements together. Mason got our sports superstar sticker for being so good at this part. We ended with a game of ‘Zoo Escape’. Mrs Bubb and some helpers were the zoo keepers who had to catch the animals trying to escape. It was so exciting!

Super Settling in Week F2M

We are so proud of all the children in F2 this week. They have settled so well – exploring their outdoor and indoor provisions, playing calmly and compassionately with their new friends and having lots of fun! #LovePlover

Which way to go

We have been practicing directional language and have been using the road signs in the vehicle area to help us. The children have been using forwards, backwards, turn, up, down and across. We need to practice left and right.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO, it’s 1C!

What a wonderful day we had on Monday to launch our new expedition, “Not All Heroes Wear Capes: How can I be a hero in my community?”. We started the day by discussing our hero choices and why we had chosen our hero. We talked about what our dream powers would be and what we would do with them. We also talked about the real-life heroes we meet out in the world and that not all heroes wear capes and masks.

We have created a video to share with you, reciting the poem of “If I was a Superhero…” by Sally Grey. https://youtu.be/6VWHaOkkJGg

After lunch it was time for our Superhero Training Camp, we had to jump over hurdles, crawl under nets, creep around cones and not fall into the boiling hot larva.

To finish our day, we painted some tudor houses that we will use when we begin our GFOL learning.
