Class 7 found a time capsule!

19th April 2024Samantha Good

Yesterday afternoon class 7 have been on a clue finding treasure hunt, answering lots of questions to find the word ‘office’. So off we headed to find our treasure, and what a wonderful treasure we found! At the office, there was a time capsule, from 2000!

Back in the classroom we circled up to find what was inside. We read letters from students at Green Top 24 years ago, we looked at photos, found a bobble head of David Beckham, a 24 year old Pokémon card and lots of other awesome things. We discussed the similarities and differences between what we found from 24 years ago, compared to things that we play with, like and learn about now! I wonder what children in another 24 years would think!?

Class 8 visitor and more classroom immersion

18th April 2024Aime Shaw

The children have drawn some fantastic coloured pencil sketches of landmarks in Thorne. They have looked at the lines and shapes and added detail to the buildings. I am really impressed with the effort that they went to. They have also drawn some of the logos of places that they see in Thorne.

On top of that, we have had a visit from a fantastic Doncaster author called Phillip Sheppard who has shared some of his stories and shown us his sketch book. He was a great expert to have in school who knows a lot about the history of Doncaster. We will be using his books throughout this expedition!
