We have been thinking really carefully about what makes a good friend during our We Care Wednesday Crew sessions. We have thought about friendships such as Shrek and Donkey; R2D2 and C3PO; and Woody and Buzz. We considered how we knew that they were friends and what they would do if they ever had a falling out. Then we thought about our own friendships and how we could react or respond to our friends if we ever fall out.
Well done everyone, let’s look after each other and do all we can to support and care for each other.
Year 5 & 6 had an amazing night at stargazing this evening. They searched for stars and constellations and even had the privilege of working with two space experts who brought in their telescopes! Thank you to Mr Clarke and Adi! A shout out to Rio’s pizzas for our lovely pizza and chips for tea!
Well done to our 10 Y3/4 who participated in a Netball competition this week at Laurel Academy against 7 other schools. A great experience for them all and a big shout out to Avianna, who was identified by the sports organisers as a key player in the whole tournament! #LovePlover
A huge well done to Reuben and Riley this week on being our pride of Plovers. Both children have had such a calm week, being very kind and helpful to others and our learning provisions. They also have been working really hard on their phonics, now knowing more sounds and writing the letters to match. #LovePlover
The lovely Year 5 & 6 children have been learning all about Children in Need this week and why the cause is so important. They wanted to raise more awareness, so even more children could be supported. We hope you like their version of ‘I’ll Stand by You’ as we stand with everyone who needs the support!
Beautiful Curation at Green Top

Crew @ Plover
We asked our students at Plover what Crew looks like and what it means to be Crew – this was their response.
XP Trust – Protecting our Planet
On Friday 15 November Koen Timmers, the world renowned climate educator, visited XP Doncaster to present our students with a plaque entitled, ‘Climate Action Heroes’ in recognition of the work done by students across our Trust in pursuit of our curriculum seam of ‘Protecting Our Planet.’
The recognition is also for being part of the Climate Action Project which allows us to connect with students and learners from across the globe to find practical and impactful solutions to the climate emergency.
Meeting Professional Athletes
Last term, students met a few of the Doncaster Rovers first team players and were able to have photos and get autographs from the players. Students asked questions about the life of a professional athlete and the journey that the players have been on playing for different clubs. It was great to hear the players speak about our character traits and how these character traits link to sport.
In the same week, students visited Hill House school to listen to Olympic gold medal GB hockey player Sam Quek. Her experience as an athlete and the ups and downs she has faced really helped our students to understand that if you want something in life you have to work hard for it! Students were able to have a photo and ask questions to Sam at the end – they even held her gold medal.
This week we have been exploring a range of materials, to help us re tell the story of we’re going on a bear hunt. The children then carried this on independently in provision and were fantastic at using props to tell the story!
Well done to our f1 community crew winners this week. Ocean and Kaiya were awarded pride of Plover for both always being really kind members of our crew. Ocean has demonstrated fantastic expedition and maths learning this week, and Kaiya has shown us some fantastic signing during crew. Keep it up girls! Astral, Kara, Otis, Mason and George also got postcards for their fantastic learning this week, we are so proud of you all.
