PE!
Today in PE, the children were busy developing their functional skills with Coach Callum. As part of our learning, we explored different ways to jump — practicing two-footed jumps, one-leg to two-leg jumps, and even hopping!
The children were really engaged throughout the session and had lots of fun travelling around the islands as they moved in different ways. It was wonderful to see everyone participating with so much enthusiasm and energy.
A big well done to our PE superstars today — Edith, Hana, and Mustafa — for their fantastic effort and brilliant jumping skills!
Doncaster Rovers Pass the Parcel Community Drop off Point at Plover
Christmas is all about community spirit and we need your help once again to make our 2025 present drive the biggest yet.
Last year, due to the incredible generosity of supporters and 100Club partners, we were able to make our biggest ever delivery.
We packed a bus full with presents and hit the city’s roads with Santa behind the wheel. As well as our annual visit to the children’s ward at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, we also dropped in at Foster For Doncaster, Eve Merton Dreams Trust and several other worthy destinations to help spread some festive joy.
This year we are determined to make an even bigger impact and, thanks to our partners Pass Logistics, Santa will not be driving a sleigh or a bus – but an entire lorry.
Every child in Doncaster deserves a present this Christmas and, together with Club Doncaster Foundation and our 100Club partners, we are looking to make that happen.
If you can, please purchase a present for a child from newborn to age 16.
You do not need to wrap the present and you can drop it off at one of dozens of locations around the city which are listed below.
Gifts should be dropped off by Thursday, December 11 to allow us time to wrap and deliver before the big day.
But it is not just children we are seeking to help this Christmas.
We are also collecting non-perishable food items and hygiene essentials to help support local foodbanks at the time of the year when demand is at its most fierce. These too can be taken to one of our drop-off points, which are listed below.
Help us to provide some comfort in our community this Christmas, and spread a little festive joy while we are at it.

Another smashing tennis session!
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.
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!
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!
