Y6 spelling revision
In the KS2 SATs, children are tested on spelling rules from Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6. On the attachment below, you will find an outline of each of the spelling rules,Ā as well as words that meet the criteria of the rule. Over the next few weeks, it would be helpful for your child if they could discuss different spelling patterns at home and practice some of the words that may potentially be in the SATs test.

Being hygienic to stop the germs!
2P have learnt how germs can easily be spread and why it is important that we wash our hands and have good hygiene. We discussed the different ways that we can keep ourselves clean and then did an experiment that shows how quickly and easily germs can spread to each other through contact. Kaya ‘sneezed’ on her hand and then the class all shook hands with each other. It’s amazing how quickly the ‘germs’ spread! We then practised how we can wash our hands thoroughly. We then made posters to share what we had learned with others.

Planting for the future
2P has planted a new set of fruit trees on behalf of KS1 to add to our orchard, which we started creating last year. Our expert visitors guided us through the process and we used our learning to help them with the planting. We were able to identify the parts of the tree, the type of tree and then we made sure that the tree had everything that it needed to give it the best chances of growing healthily. Hopefully they will provide us with lots of different fruit in the years to come.

Plover School Celebrates World Book Day with the National Literacy Trust
Plover School celebrated World Book Day 2025 in true storytelling style, welcoming The National Literacy Trust for a day filled with books, creativity, and a love for reading. Every child at Plover left with a book of their own, thanks to the generosity of the Trust, ensuring that the magic of reading continues beyond the classroom.
Throughout the day, students were treated to storytelling sessions led by the National Literacy Trust team, including a special session led by local author and illustrator Phil Sheppard. His engaging storytelling brought his books to life, inspiring young readers across the school.
A huge thank you to Megan, Laura, Catherine, and Phil from the National Literacy Trust for their time, passion, and dedication to fostering a love of reading in our students.
As part of the āRead Your Wayā challenge, children who brought in a photograph showcasing their love of reading received an extra book to take home, reinforcing the importance of reading in all its forms. More information on the challenge can be found here.
The event was made even more special with a visit from Sally Jameson MP, who joined in with the festivities and spoke with students about their favourite books and reading habits.
Jayne Ogle, Headteacher at Plover said:
“World Book Day is always a highlight at Plover, but this year was truly exceptional. Seeing every child leave with a book of their own, listening to the joy of storytelling, and welcoming guests who share our passion for literacy has made it a day to remember.”
At Plover School, we believe reading changes lives, and this yearās World Book Day was another step in ensuring every child has access to stories that inspire, challenge, and excite them.
