Beautiful Work This Week

Race for Bears at Plover!

This week at Plover, students in EYFS completed a sponsored Bear walk as part of their new Expedition! They raised £1148 to support their local community – and dressed up as bears to perform bear related exercises and have fun during the process! Beautiful work!

Beautiful Curation at XP Gateshead

Last week, Comms installed some new wonderful displays of student work at XP Gateshead. These wall displays are culminations of recent Expeditions and Activism from the last year.

Steplab Coaching @ XP Trust

Last Monday, our staff worked closely with Steplab to start implementing their ICT platform for coaching across XP Trust. Staff spent the day looking at effective coaching and learning and how Steplab can help create a positive culture around it.

Leading our own learning in 6B!

These superstars have been smashing it and I am so, so proud of them! They have been using additional maths resources and videos on our Year 6 maths site to lead their own learning this week. They have been working hard to reflect on their own learning and identify their next steps to ensure they are secure.

Keep it up you lovely lot!

Plover Praise Postcards in F2M

Well done Boston for eating his dinner. Well done Kylan for drawing a picture of a bear and tidying up after him. Well done Reuben for being calm and trying hard on his phonics. Well done Farhan for playing nicely with his friends!

Crew and Family

This week in crew we have been talking about our families, who we have in them, why they are important, how we love and care for our family, and respect how families are different. We enjoyed playing ‘swapsies’ and sorting the family jigsaws.

Care for the Bear

One morning there was a bear in F2BP. We wondered where it had been and when it left, where it was going. The children came up with lots of ideas and created posters of how to find the bear. They thought about the bear’s feelings, made food for him and wrote him letters. With hope it would visit again and to our amazement… check out the Plover CCTV! #LovePlover
