A peek behind the scenes…

6th February 2026Abigale Crawford

On Monday, Geoff Hewitt came back to visit us and brought all of his equipment to help us start making our final product.

BSL is a huge commitment we have made as a school to support our Hearing Impaired students and we have gained so much knowledge from our ARCHi team. We have previously made a scheme of learning that we still use in school and have shared this with other schools within the trust. We now want to take that further to create a book, that can be spread far and wide to support people using BSL.

and if you haven’t guessed, your wonderful children are the teachers! Their video instructions and pictures will be used within the book. Here is what they were getting up to!

SNOW MUCH FUN!

20th November 2025Abigale Crawford

We couldn’t resist a little adventure into the snow this morning! The children had snow much fun playing with their friends, tasting the snow, and even attempting a few snow angels—despite our gentle reminder that there really wasn’t quite enough snow for that yet.

It was a wonderfully joyful start to the day. And just like that—blink—and the snow was gone. But we made the most of every moment while it lasted!

Blooming with Creativity

20th November 2025Abigale Crawford

Today we are delighted to showcase the children’s beautiful Poppy artwork. They approached their creations with such care, focus, and pride; choosing colours, exploring different materials, and talking thoughtfully about what their poppies represented.

Each piece is unique, and together they make a stunning display. We are so proud of their creativity and the meaning they put into their work. What a lovely way to honour and remember through art.

A very mindful Monday in Crew Crawford

6th November 2025Abigale Crawford

This week in our Crew Session, we have been focusing on mindfulness — learning how to slow down, pay attention, and be present in the moment.

To help us explore this idea, we played the Pom Pom Game — a fun and simple activity that encourages deep breathing. As we took slow breaths in and out, we watched the pom poms move gently, helping us to stay focused and relaxed. There were lots of smiles (and a few giggles!) as we learned that being calm and still can also be great fun.

We are Family!

1st October 2025Rebecca Bubb

In ‘We Care Crew’, we talked about our families. We then drew all the people and pets who live in our house. We then used sticks to make the square for our house and the triangle for our roof. Our crew display board is filling up fast! We noticed that all our pictures weren’t the same and that our families may be different but we are all loved. #love plover #wearecrew

The Plover colour run is back! Thursday 28th August!

15th July 2025Miss Blackham

We will be kick-starting the new academic year focusing on character traits. As part of our first week back, we will be looking at the character trait compassion and raising funds for our crew charity of the year – the RSPCA as well raising much needed school funds. Letters will be sent out in the first week back and we require them to be signed in order for your child to participate.

We are kindly asking for donations which will be split between the RSPCA and school funds. These donations can be made every day in the first week back and we ask they are passed on to your child’s class teacher.

Please can your child attend school on the day in either a white or light coloured t-shirt. Whilst we would hope the paint will come out once the clothes have been washed, we ask you only send your child in clothes you do not mind being stained just incase the paint will not wash out.

Thank you for your continued support. Any questions, please see Mr Meade or Miss Blackham.

BLAST OFF!

25th June 2025Abigale Crawford

Last week Year 1 were challenged by NASA to design and create a rocket protype that could be blasted off into space. Of course, we had to test out our rockets. We filled them with fuel and pumped them with air to see how high they would go! We had lots of fun!
