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

Year 3/4 donation request
Next week, our Year 3 and 4 children will be heading into the community to deliver some delicious brownies they will have baked with our cook Michael. These are to say thank you to special people in our community! Some of the places that the children will be delivering to are the local food bank, the charity shop and Little Bunnies playgroup.
We would love it if we could take further donations with us to support these places and charities further. We will be looking for donations such as:
- Tinned, packet or boxed food for the food bank
- Clothes or small unwanted items for charity shop
- Young children’s toy, books or £1 donation to help fund the Little Bunnies playgroup
The children will be taking the items brought in and need to carry them so please nothing too big or heavy.
As always, we appreciate your support with helping our local community further!
Crew Spetch – National Writing Day
Wow! I was absolutely blown away by everyones enthusiasm yesterday for National Writing Day. We all enjoyed looking at the pictures and discussing what they might mean and then planning some beautiful pieces of writing. We even created front covers, character profiles and comic strips for our stories. Well done everyone! As tomorrow is World Music Day we also enjoyed listening to all of our favourite songs whilst we were writing! Such a lovely day!
Uniform reminder
Polite Reminder.
Please ensure your child is coming to school in the correct uniform. This includes shoes. As the weather is getting warmer we are seeing more and more children wearing Crocs, Jellies and open toed sandals. Children must be wearing black shoes as part of their uniform.
Please send your child to school with a sun hat for playtimes too.
If you need any support with uniform please contact your child’s phase leader.
Class 10 National Writing Day!
Yesterday was national Writing day. This mean the children had freedom to write about a chosen image and decide what genre to write about. We had some fantasy tales, some newspaper articles and some excellent narratives. The children tried to remember features that we have used this year as well. There were some really lovely and interesting pieces of writing and what was great to see was the fun had by all when writing their pieces of work. It was a relaxed atmosphere and then we loved hearing what others wrote.
Summer fayre fun!
It was so much fun and one of our best ever!!! We hope you enjoyed it too.
A special thank you to our Friends of Green Top, who work extremely hard to raise money for our school and children by organising these fantastic events. We are extremely grateful! x x
National writing day in class 6
We had lots of fun today getting in touch with our creative sides by becoming authors. We looked at some pictures and generated ideas using the ‘back to back, face to face’ protocol, then independently wrote about a picture of our choice. Even Miss Rodgers took part!
