These are tricky, tricky, tricky words!

Today in English, 1C have been learning all about tricky words â€“ these are the words we can’t sound out using phonics. We went on a tricky word hunt around the classroom, looking carefully for all the tricky words we could find. The challenge was even harder because there were some words that weren’t tricky words – so we had to decide which ones to collect!

After our hunt, we practiced reading, making, writing, and using our tricky words in sentences. A special shout-out to Edith, who wrote some wonderful sentences – well done, Edith!

Ping Pong Pete

Yesterday, Year 5 had great fun playing Ping Pong with Ping Pong Pete! The children were full of energy and enthusiasm as they got stuck into the game, and it was wonderful to see how quickly they picked up the rhythm and the new skills.

Everyone really impressed me with how well they listened to each other. They worked hard on taking turns and waiting patiently, which made the activities run smoothly and kept it fun for everyone. There was lots of cheering, encouragement, and laughter as they practised new skills — and they soon showed they were pretty good at it too!

Playing Ping Pong with Pete gave the children the chance to practise important skills like coordination, timing, and teamwork. It was also a fantastic way to build confidence, as each child had the chance to step forward and join in.

Thank you Pete and well done, Year 5 — you showed great focus, cooperation, and enjoyment. I can’t wait to see you developing even more new skills as the term goes on!

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
