As our Year 6’s get ready to embark on their next chapters, they have the opportunity to reflect on their time at Primary and how they have developed as a learner as well as how they are preparing themselves for secondary school. I am so proud of you all and all you have achieved during your time at Plover. You have all presented with so much confidence and I feel privileged to have a been part of your journey!
I can’t wait to see more final words next week!

Well done to Ariana and Hunter who have earned the F2 Pride of Plover badges this week. They were both chosen for being kind and setting an excellent example to our F2 crew.

As part of our celebration of learning next week, the children have created treasure maps. They then voted for the three they thought were the best to be used in a game. These were our competition winners. Well done girls.

Do you fancy being a part of our local community group: Friends of Plover?
We are keen to create a local community group to support events at Plover. This could be anything from supporting with fundraising events, expedition learning events or judging school competitions!
We would plan on this small group of volunteers meeting (over a coffee!) once a term to discuss upcoming events.
If you would like to put your name forward to join this group then please complete the Google form below.
Many thanks

We put the pictures from the story onto the right place on our giant floor map. We used above, below, to the side, right and left. We asked the children to stand on one place in the map and follow our directions. We used left, right, forwards and backwards to get to different parts of The Land of Nod.
This week we have been looking at repeating patterns. We used paint to create repeating patterns on the buntings, ready for our celebration of learning. We then used our fine motor skills to write our names on the back, and cut out the bunting.
Reminder; we would love to see as many of you as possible at our celebration of learning! On Thursday 4th July at 2pm.

This week we have been awesome artists. We have focused on our monochromatic skills. First we developed our pencil skills to make dots, lines, shapes, patterns and decorative designs. Then we practised different shading techniques such as hatching, cross hatching, stippling and blending. Finally, we put all our skills together to sketch our line drawings of the Deaf School. Using Austin’s Butterly critique we were able to refine and improve our art. We have created some beautiful work! #LovePlover
In 2023, XP had over 1000 visitors from all over the world – including India, Australia, America, Israel, Norway and Spain, just to name a few! As we continue to welcome more visitors, here’s what they’ve said about our students…
This week we held our second Friends of Norton Campus Association Summer Fair. We were joined by members of our local community to raise funds for our schools. There were bouncy castles, penalty shoot outs, welly wanging and face painting.
Askern Community Brass Band provided the music – and there were plenty of sweet treats and snacks to enjoy too. Children were spending their pocket money on the hit the teacher coconut shy and sponge the teacher! Not forgetting we were joined by our special VIP’s Lenny and Alan (the alpacas!) We’re already looking forward to next year.
We’re looking for:
Learning Coaches at Carcroft School
An EYFS/KS1 Specialist SEND Teacher at Carcroft School
A Leading Learning Coach (HLTA) at Plover School
A Learning Coach/Crew Leader at XP Gateshead
Year 9 Sports Leaders @ XP School
