Dare you venture into the Jungle?
Today, we were very lucky to take part in a wonderful experience brought to us by M&M productions, The Jungle Book. Many of us knew the story of Mowgli and it was fantastic to see the story brought to life!
Islamic Art work
Today we created our Islamic tiles. We have been exploring the work of William Morris, a British designer who used lots of patterns in his artwork. We were lucky to hear from our very own expert, Mr Hull, about William Morris’ art work as he has visited his house to have a look at some very exciting pieces. We used techniques previously taught to design our own tiles which will have a very special home in a local mosque.
Hooking into our writing!
Over the next two weeks in Crew MW, we are going to be story writers! We’re looking at the story, ‘Pirates Love Underpants!’ This morning, we’ve got into character as pirates, hopped on our pirate ship, and travelled across the ocean until we heard the captain shout, ‘land ahoy!’ Once we had all jumped off the ship, we explore the island that we found, and used our notice lens to describe what we could see. We can’t wait to write the first part of our story!
We’re looking for an outstanding Learning Coach (Teaching Assistant and HLTA) and Crew Leader at XP Gateshead
Athlete visit: Rebekah Green
We are excited to announce that this years athlete visiting school is Rebekah Green.
Rebekah has been kayaking for around 8 years, 4 of which have been in a playboat. Rebekah trains regularly at her local venue, Lee valley White Water Centre and also works at Above and Below Kayak retailer store on site
Until last year Rebekah had only ever competed in k1, but the opportunity of a new women’s category and the encouragement from team mates Ottie and Tamsyn inspired Rebekah to convert an old kayak into a c1.
Although this discipline ‘is challenging’ Rebekah has really enjoyed the process of progression, especially while training in the worlds feature at Holme Pierrepont.
Rebekah will be visiting school Monday 1st July!
Please bring sponsor forms in by Friday 28th June 10am, so it gives time to calculate the money and organise everything.

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

Our leavers hoodies have arrived!
We couldn’t wait to put on our leavers hoodies today… despite the warmer weather! The children love them! Big shout out to Shell for organising, thank you so much!
Science writing
This week we have started our independent science non chronological report. The children have designed the layout and applied their science knowledge learnt in expedition lessons into this piece. I am very impressed with what the children have produced so far!
