28th April 2025Mr Schofield

Well done to the year 5 and 6 Pride of Plover this week – you’re working hard, getting smart and being kind so thoroughly deserve this amazing recognition.

Well done also to those in receipt of times tables rockstars and reading plus awards this week, keep being awesome!

Working in a coal mine

28th April 2025Mr Schofield

Today, 5S were shocked to learn that Victorian children as young as four had no choice but to work up to 12 hours a day, 6 days a week in mines to earn money and support their families.

In order to consider the hard work and suffering they experienced, we discussed the different jobs available to people in the mines and the gruelling work they had to undertake. We role played these jobs in groups then got back together to write about how we felt.

We all came away feeling really sorry for our ancestors who had to work this hard at such a young age. I want to praise the class for their sympathy and engagement with this lesson as it was tough to hear about.

TGB crew

In crew we have been thinking about what we need to get better at and the children said writing. Today we practiced writing capital letters and they were really proud of what they produced. Well done Crew F2BP.

Who is in the pages of the book?

22nd April 2025Mrs Price

We have started learning about our expedition today. We looked at the stories we will be learning about and read the book “There’s no dragon in this story.” The children remembered lots of the story characters we have learnt about already this year.
