Amazing standard of work
Well done Nathaniel, Carter and Cara. They shared their work from the Spring expedition with Andy Sprakes today, an executive of the XP Trust, and he was so impressed with the standard that he saw. He sent them a postcard to celebrate their progress and we are all very proud! Keep up the great work! X
Thorne aerial photographs
Drone fun in ks1
This afternoon, the children were very lucky
as they had a drone expert in to show them how we can take aerial photographs and get a birds eye view of everything on the ground.
They loved watching it take off and fly over the school but they especially loved seeing the photographs afterwards which showed a lot of Thorne and areas surrounding the school.
what a fantastic experience!
Thanks so much to Geoff for coming in and doing this for us…the children appreciate it so much as we will use these photos in our Summer expedition!

Times Tables Rock Stars day!!! (International dance day) – Friday 29th April
On Friday the 29th April, we will be having a rock star dress up day in years 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1. Times Tables Rock Stars is an excellent site which helps children practice and improve their times tables. All children in these year groups have a login. To promote it’s use across school, we are encouraging children to dress up as rock stars on the above date. Not only will children have the opportunity to use this site on this day, we will be linking it to International Dance day which falls on the same date. Therefore, in the afternoon, children will also be dancing and crews will be making ‘rock-style’ music videos. Pictures and videos of the day will be blogged by each crew.
Postcard winners today
Well done to Kalab, Rhys and Eva who won postcards today for great learning choices, fantastic talk for writing performances and brilliant maths work respectively.
Keep up the good work kiddos!

Hooked on our new expedition!
As part of our hook into our new expedition – Diverse Doncaster. Where do we belong? – class 6 had lots of fun being historians this afternoon by looking at artefacts and using evidence to decide if they were reliable sources. We worked in groups to match baby pictures to staff photographs. Well done to Tallon, Lexi, Deacon, Ezra, Anais, Bobby and Hunter who guessed 5 of the 18 sets of photos correctly….
Check out the pictures here…weren’t we the cutest babies?
Red Nose Day 🔴
Well done to the winners of the ‘Design a Red Nose’ competition! There were some fantastic entries but the school council voted and decided that these would be the winning entries. Well done to all who submitted an entry.
We are also pleased to announce that the school managed to sell £300 worth of red noses in the run up to the event before raising a further £301.58 through donations when wearing something red. Thank you to every one for your generous donations!
Happy Easter from class 6
What an ‘eggciting’ way to end the Spring term! But enough of the ‘yolks’, I’ll ‘crack’ on with the post…
Check out the fantastic decorated eggs that the children and their families have produced for our competition. As always, I’m blown away by the awesome support of our parents and carers for events such as these. It was almost impossible to choose a winner but I enlisted the help of Mrs Robertson and Mrs Woodroffe and they decided on Adam’s prehistoric dinosaur entry. He won an Easter egg but I made sure all the children had a prize for their efforts.
Have a wonderful, peaceful holiday.
See you in a fortnight
