Beautiful Work This Week

Park Smart, Walk More, Stay Safe!

Plover School is excited to join the “Walk and Wheel Challenge” by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority. This fun initiative gets kids walking, cycling, and wheeling to school, making travel safer and healthier.

But that’s not all! The students are also tackling a big issue – problematic parking around the school. They’ve made a video asking everyone to park considerately so driveways aren’t blocked and crossing the road stays safe.

Spread the word, watch their video, and look out for their signs around the area to support their efforts.

A Message from C29

‘This week, our school hosted the Conversation Club, shedding light on the challenges faced by refugees and asylum seekers. One major expense is transportation, but we realised that having a bike could eliminate this cost and provide free, reliable transport.

In response, we are organising a bike drive, inviting the community to donate any old bikes, which will be invaluable to those in need. You can drop off your bike donations at XP Doncaster, and we will ensure they are distributed by the Conversation Club to refugees and asylum seekers, helping to ease their daily struggles. Your support and generosity are greatly appreciated.’

We’re got vacancies across XP Trust!

We’re looking for:

Learning Coaches at Carcroft School

An EYFS/KS1 Specialist SEND Teacher at Carcroft School

A Teacher at Norton Junior School

We are Artists

Today we started our artwork using our line drawing skills. We are going to create a final drawing of the Deaf School. Today was our first attempt and we will critique and improve them in our next session.

What do you think so far?

Working to help each other

In crew today we were working on getting better at helping each other. We had to work together to complete the race. We had lots of fun and talked about how we had taken turns, shared, didn’t push and had helped each other.

Well done everyone

Tromsø and Intake D&T Box Models

We were design technologists last week and compared our local community of Intake, Doncaster to Tromsø in Norway. The children crafted together physical features like fjords, valleys, mountains, waterfalls to represent Tromsø. Then human features such as roads, roundabouts, shops, flats and Plover Primary school that we have in Intake. #LovePlover

Sports Day Practise

Y1 have continued their @YouthSportTrust #NationalSportsWeek activities by practising different sports day races! We also discussed the wildlife we saw on the way to school as part of @SouthYorksMCA #WalkandWheelSY #LovePlover
