If you go down to the woods today…….

15th July 2025Mrs Graves

You’re sure of a big surprise for Year 3 and 4!

Yesterday was the third and final event as part of this year’s National Literacy Trust Young Readers programme and we held the event at Sandall Beat Woods.

The children all chose their third free book and we went to the wood to enjoy reading and sharing our stories in the open air with nature all around us.

It was great to welcome parents and carers to the event and so lovely to see the children sharing the books with their family.

After a biscuit or two, we circled up, shared a story and completed the last community crew of the year.

We have felt so lucky to be selected to take part in the programme this year, and really hope we get the opportunity to do it again in the future.

Sports Day!

15th July 2025Mr Pickering

KS1 finally got their sports day today and what a great time we had! 2P really enjoyed the mix of different activities that we got to have a go at, with the javelin being the surprising favourite (despite the wind!). We all worked hard and had great fun and even challenged ourselves to do things we weren’t sure we could do. Well done 2P!

13th July 2025Joshua Meade

Just a reminder that there are a number of Y5 children doing bikeability this week. Can the children please come in comfortable sports wear and trainers, with sun cream and potentially a rain coat. Can the children please bring their bikes and helmets if they said they was going to bring them. Thank you

XP Arts Festival

13th July 2025Mrs Graves

On Friday, we celebrated the wonderful talent we have at Plover School and more widely across the whole trust.

The Plover LKS2 Cheerleaders and UKS2 singers entertained the audiences and the Year 4 dancers performed the routine they have been working on for weeks.

It was a very hot day but the children kept their energy high for their performances in the afternoon and evening and they were a very gracious audience for the other performers.

What a great day!
