Another smashing tennis session!

10th November 2025Mrs Haycock

All of your children have really enjoyed the tennis coaching they have received over the past few weeks. Not all have found it easy and some have had to show great courage to keep trying until they succeeded. Consequently, everyone’s skills have grown immensely – no matter what their starting point was. The sportsmanship they have shown has been genuinely beautiful to watch: encouraging each other when faced with challenges; celebrating with each other when achievements were made; and showing pride for one another when awards were allocated. Well done 4H, keep smashing it!

Perfecting our Ping Pong skills with Pete.

10th November 2025Mrs Haycock

Ping Pong Pete has visited Plover to deliver bespoke Ping Pong sessions with all classes throughout school. It was great fun. We learnt some important points about sportsmanship and well as technical points such as how to stand; how to hold the bat; and how to serve the ball. He created some really fun challenges for us to complete too. I hold my head in shame as I was clearly defeated when Ianis was paired against me! You are an awesome player Ianis, well done! I blame the heels I was wearing – not my lack of skill!

1C’s GREAT NOUN PARADE!

7th November 2025Abigale Crawford

Today, we continued our learning about common and proper nouns with a very exciting event — 1C’s GREAT NOUN PARADE!

Each child created their own special plaque featuring a common noun and a proper noun, complete with colourful drawings and fantastic writing. Then, we proudly paraded our creations around the school, chanting:

“Common nouns are lowercase — proper nouns start with a capital letter!”

The children had so much fun showing off their learning and sharing their knowledge with others. A huge thank you to Mrs. Haycock, Mr. Meade, Mrs. Price, Miss Vines, Mrs. Trindall, and Mrs. Gill for joining in the fun and putting our noun knowledge to the test!

It was a wonderful day of learning, laughter, and language — well done, 1C!

A huge well done to our fabulous Key Stage 2 swimmers this who demonstrated great courage against some really well trained competition this afternoon.

A special shout-out to Alec and Miksang who received medals for top three performances in their events!

Common or Proper?

6th November 2025Abigale Crawford

In our English lessons this week, we have been learning all about common and proper nouns.

We discovered that a common noun is a name that can belong to lots of the same kind of thing — for example, girl, teacher, or city. A proper noun, on the other hand, is the specific name of a person, place, or thing — like Ada, Mrs. Crawford, or Doncaster!

One of the easiest ways to spot a proper noun is by looking for a capital letter at the start. That little clue helps us tell the difference straight away!

After learning together on the board, we split into teams to practise sorting nouns into common or proper. There was lots of discussion, teamwork, and excitement as we worked out which was which.

Everyone did a brilliant job — we’re becoming real grammar experts!

Autumn Fall Fun

5th November 2025Joshua Meade

This week we have been learning about Autumn and the celebrations we celebrate during this period. Last week many of the children celebrated halloween. Yesterday we went on an Autumnal walk to spot the signs of Autumn. We’ve created autumnal animals. Today we had a camp fire and learnt about the history of bonfire night and how we stay safe around bonfires, fireworks and sparklers. Then we created some bonfire art. #LovePlover
