After learning about the Great Fire of London, 2P developed their art skills so that they could use them to produce a piece of art that is inspired by the fire. We learnt about the primary colours and then mixed them to create the secondary colours. We discussed how colours can evoke feelings of warm and cold and used this to create a sun and moon image using these colours. We then used this knowledge to mix colours to create a background wash that looked like fire and we applied this in layers using sponges. We then used our cutting skills to create a cityscape silhouette to layer onto the background we had painted. We did some brilliant art!

We have kindly been invited to spread some Christmas cheer on Sunday 7th December at Sandall Park- 10am. It would be amazing to have as many KS2 pupils as possible to join and represent Plover 🙂
If your child is able to attend, please return the letter before the 7th November so we can arrange some time to rehearse the songs as a group.

On Friday 10th October, Year 5 & 6 pupils will be working with Street dance teacher Caitlin (the founder of Aftershock dance) as part of world mental health day. Being active has proven to have a positive impact on mental health which is why we have chosen to participate in dance to remind our pupils that it is important to stay active to keep a healthy mind.
Pupils are welcome to wear something yellow to acknowledge world mental health day and we are looking forward to a day full of mindfulness!

Children will have the opportunity to show they have mastered this in our community crew sessions!

G29: What makes a great education?
Last term, students in G29 at XPG were challenged to give a keynote at the MTEM conference on what makes a great education. Over a week they drafted and put together an incredible speech which they have now recorded back in school.
