Year 5&6 spelling bee- get ahead in your learning over the summer!

16th July 2025Miss Blackham

Next year, our lovely Year 5&6 pupils will participate in half-termly spelling bee’s in their crews. We will be kick-starting the first half-term with the above spellings. Every week, the children will be given a list of 10 spellings from the above list to learn ahead of their spelling test. Every time a child scores 7 out of 10 or above, they will have their name added to the spin the wheel. At the end of the half-term, at our spelling bee, we will spin the wheel and six children will have the opportunity to represent their crew. They will be given a further ten spellings from the list (ones they have already been tested on) and if they score seven or above on the day, they will be able to choose from one of our fantastic prizes: an Amazon voucher, a Stanley cup, a chocolate hamper, a sweet hamper or a sports hamper as well as further prizes which will be confirmed in the autumn term.

You have to be in it to win it so over the summer is a perfect opportunity to get ahead with your spellings!

Perfectly You

16th July 2025Rebecca Bubb

We hope you like your child’s end of year gift. It’s linked to one of our favourite books. Imagine if they keep it until they’re adults and can smile at their time in F2, remembering they are perfect just as they are xxx

The Plover colour run is back! Thursday 28th August!

15th July 2025Miss Blackham

We will be kick-starting the new academic year focusing on character traits. As part of our first week back, we will be looking at the character trait compassion and raising funds for our crew charity of the year – the RSPCA as well raising much needed school funds. Letters will be sent out in the first week back and we require them to be signed in order for your child to participate.

We are kindly asking for donations which will be split between the RSPCA and school funds. These donations can be made every day in the first week back and we ask they are passed on to your child’s class teacher.

Please can your child attend school on the day in either a white or light coloured t-shirt. Whilst we would hope the paint will come out once the clothes have been washed, we ask you only send your child in clothes you do not mind being stained just incase the paint will not wash out.

Thank you for your continued support. Any questions, please see Mr Meade or Miss Blackham.

Pride of Plover

15th July 2025Mr Pickering

Last week’s Pride of Plover was a huge one! The stories we heard of personal resilience and overcoming challenges were inspiring. It was great to see how we all make progress in different ways and at different paces but that working hard is always the key. Well done to everyone for showing us what it takes to be our Pride of Plover.

If you go down to the woods today…….

15th July 2025Mrs Graves

You’re sure of a big surprise for Year 3 and 4!

Yesterday was the third and final event as part of this year’s National Literacy Trust Young Readers programme and we held the event at Sandall Beat Woods.

The children all chose their third free book and we went to the wood to enjoy reading and sharing our stories in the open air with nature all around us.

It was great to welcome parents and carers to the event and so lovely to see the children sharing the books with their family.

After a biscuit or two, we circled up, shared a story and completed the last community crew of the year.

We have felt so lucky to be selected to take part in the programme this year, and really hope we get the opportunity to do it again in the future.

Sports Day!

15th July 2025Mr Pickering

KS1 finally got their sports day today and what a great time we had! 2P really enjoyed the mix of different activities that we got to have a go at, with the javelin being the surprising favourite (despite the wind!). We all worked hard and had great fun and even challenged ourselves to do things we weren’t sure we could do. Well done 2P!
