Keep Growing!

2P have been learning about what a plant needs to grow and stay healthy. We then used this to plant some beans and we will keep looking after them to give them what they need. We also started an experiment where we planted some cress seeds. Two pots will have light and warmth but only one will get water. The other two pots will be kept dark and cool and only one will get water. We can’t wait to see what happens!

KS1 Basketball Comp

Well done to our children who represented Plover at a KS1 Basketball tournament this afternoon at XP. The children learned skills and showed great sportsmanship throughout! #LovePlover

Brushing Our Teeth

This week we have been looking at how we can keep our teeth healthy, by brushing them. We have learnt how to brush our teeth properly, and used disclosure tablets at home to see the plaque in our teeth, so we know where we still need to brush. We learnt a song to help remind us how/when to clean our teeth, it’s been great to see some children singing this independently during choosing time! I wonder if they can sing it for you at home.

Fruity Family Learning!

What a wonderful morning we had with our grown-ups! We played games, we made fruit kebabs, we worked collaboratively on a fruit collage, we made fruit masks, we did some really neat colouring. All of us had such a lovely time learning and growing together. Special thanks to the grown-ups who could make it and well done to all the children for showing our grown-ups how we work hard, get smart and be kind.

F2 loved Rock Steady

I think a lot of our children were inspired by this mornings rock and music assembly. Our children continued the rock and roll by creating their own band and musical instruments out on the playground. Look out for more information on how your child can sign up to learn musical instruments and be apart of a band. #LovePlover
