This morning, the children in KS1 were granted a meeting with Susan Durant our local Mayor where they found out all about her fantastic work in the community as well as the work of the local food bank. The children asked lots of questions about Susan’s work and experiences and were able to share the fabulous community work they have been getting up to these last two weeks.Â
I wonder if we have any future mayors in Year 1?
Well done to Mila-Rose, Hollie and Oscar who have all shown great learning attitudes today and were rewarded with our postcards.
Great job guys!
To celebrate National Read a Book Day class 6 had a special story time. A huge thanks to Liam, one of our Learning Councillors who popped in to read us a story in Crew this afternoon. The children loved it Liam and you read beautifully. Well done!
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

Here are some ideas for some further study for the children to do at home. We will share their learning in crew and celebrate with HOWLs points. Thanks so much for your continued support.

Please have a look at what year 1 and 2 will be learning about this term. We have a very exciting few months ahead! You can access this document through the ‘children’ tab and then by clicking on the ‘Key stage 1 extended study’ menu.
If you have any questions, please ask a class teacher.
Thanks, Mrs Shaw
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.
In maths club today we have been looking at number bonds, partitioning numbers, missing numbers and adding numbers together. Well done everyone who came, you all smashed it! 😊
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!
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.
