Creating a flower

We created flowers in different ways this morning, remembering the parts of the plant.

Some children created with blocks, some painting and some drawing.

Have a look at our creations.

What do plants need to grow?

Today we have been scientists and learnt what plants need to grow. We discussed if we need the same/different things to help us grow.
Shout out to Aaron this morning who said “plants and children are both living things”.

This afternoon we acted out how plants grow with Mrs Bubb. We started of as the tiny seed, and grew into a beautiful plant. We remembered that the roots go down and the shoots go up.

Yummy veggie fajitas

As part of our expedition, Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me? 2L has been preparing food. We worked in small groups and carefully sliced peppers, mushrooms, and onions, as well as peeling and grating carrots and cheese. We then cooked the veggies and turned them into vegetable fajitas. They were yummy!

Repeating Patterns

Yesterday in maths we were looking at extending and spotting errors in ABAB repeating patterns. The children were really good at doing this using the coloured counting bears, so we decided to see if we could get ourselves into a repeating pattern.

Shoutout to Chester that extended his learning by being able to correct and error, in a repeating pattern of 3 colours! Also to Ocean and Kara that worked together to create a repeating pattern using the soft play blocks, during our PE session.

Sequencing Toothbrushing

Last week we worked on developing our scissor skills. I was so proud at how many children could not only could make snips in paper, but could independently cut out their pictures. Once the pictures were cut out, we had to stick them in the right order, then use our mathematical language (first, then) to explain our sequence and events.

Pride Of Plover

This week our two pride of Plover winners are Thomas and Mesut! Both boys have really impressed us with their focus and determination, when practising scissor skills in class. Keep working hard!

Thomas is always a kind member of our crew, supporting his peers and having lovely manners.

Mesut has been working hard to improve his listening, and now is engaging much better in adult directed tasks.

Orla Kiely inspired artwork in Y2

Today in 2L we began our Orla Kiely inspired artwork. We have found out about Orla’s bold, printing style and we have used that to create our own work of art. The children are looking forward to completing their work later on in the week.

Can you guess what our artwork might be?

F2BP Pride of Plover

Cohen was our Pride of Plover today. Cohen has impressed adults with his hard work and how kind he has been to his friends, especially in phonics. He has been using his voice really well to share his learning, ideas and concerns.

Well done Cohen. We are very proud of you.

Rocksteady ready

Last week, we had an amazing assembly and workshop with Rocksteady where we got to learn all about different musical instruments and how to play them. Some lucky children were selected to practise in a Plover band using the instruments to play the song “livin’ on a prayer”. It was lovely to see such excitement and engagement from all.

For those who were inspired to learn a new musical skill, there is the option of weekly school rock and pop band lessons with Rocksteady! Visit rocksteadymusicschool.com to check available spaces.
