Learning Council – D Day Shoutout!

Last Thursday, Learning Council was invited to be apart of the D Day service in Thorne Memorial Park. They stood and listened carefully and respectfully and then confidently stood and recited a D Day poem along with children from other primary schools from Thorne and Moorends.

It was an honour to go along and be a part of such a special occasion to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D Day landings and I was super proud of all the children!

Year 4 Sugar Rush!

We were lucky enough to have Carolyne from Sugar Rush visit us today to teach us all about where chocolate comes from and how it is made! It was so interesting and the children even got to taste some yummy treats – we can confirm that her brownies are absolutely delicious! Thank you!

Year 4: Mayans and chocolate!

Year 4 have been learning all about the importance of chocolate to the Mayan culture. They looked at how the warriors used chocolate, how the Mayans used it for trade, and how it linked to religion.

Did you know the Mayans thought chocolate was a gift from the gods and was more valuable than gold?

Crew Knowles: SPaG Lesson

We have practised using subordinate conjunctions this week to add further detail to our sentences. We used roll mats to generate subordinate conjunctions that either had to go at the start of our sentences or in the middle.
