Y1 and Y2 homework menus

Apologies to those parents who could not access the menus. We are looking into the issue. In the meantime here is a screenshot of each year group’s menu.

Children should be able to access these menus at any time from the KS1 Extended Study section in the ‘Children’ drop down menu on the front page of the blog if they are logged on with their own Green Top email address.

Please let me know if you have any more problems

Tiny helping hands from class 6

I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of everyone in class 6 today as they performed a small act of kindness in our community by helping to pack shopping bags in our local Sainsbury’s store. The children walked sensibly in the beautiful late summer sunshine through Thorne, pointing out items of rubbish that could be recycled as they went. They were super polite to the shoppers who asked them to explain the reason they were there and the resounding answer was ‘TO BE KIND AND HELPFUL!’

A massive thank-you to all the parents who turned up to shop so the children had something to pack and to the wonderful staff at Sainsbury’s for allowing us to experience first-hand how lovely it feels to be able to help others when we can.

National Read a Book Day!

Tomorrow (Wednesday 6th September) is National Read a Book Day!

Why not enjoy a book together after school to celebrate the day? We’d love for you to email us any photos of you enjoying your reading!

KS1 Superheroes Unite – An invitation to our family learning event on Friday 8th September

On Friday 8th September, all KS1 children are invited to come to school dressed as a favourite superhero of their choice. We have been learning about heroes in the local community so they may wish to consider these, such as police officers and nurses, or they may opt for their favourite fictional superhero instead. We will be taking superhero pictures using green screen during the morning so please let your child’s class teacher know if you wish to opt-out of this.

Parents and carers are then invited to join us on the Key Stage 1 playground from 1.30pm where you will be able to enjoy a range of superhero themed activities (trainers a must, capes and masks optional!) before challenging yourself to defeat our ruthless obstacle course. To end the session, there will be juice and biscuits alongside stories and colouring inside your child’s classroom (after all, even superheroes need to rest!).

We do hope you will join us on Friday at 1.30pm and we can’t wait to see you all then.

Y1 PE day

PE will be on Tuesday this term. Please send in outdoor kit and trainers so we can make use of our playground while we still have good weather. We suggest that you send in PE kit on Monday morning and we will keep it in school until Friday. In this way we have a change of clothes for the children should it be needed.

Many thanks

End of our first week in class 6

Another fantastic day today to round off our first week back. We continued our climate emergency learning by studying what is happening to our ice-caps because of global warming caused in part by the actions of human beings. We played with our own iceberg and made posters and a flyer to show what we had learned. We are also in the process of editing a video which also sends the important message of looking after our beautiful world.

See you next week class 6 x
