From baby teachers to flying drones to treasure hunting time capsules with wonderful talk for writing sessions in between, what an amazing first week we have had in class 6. In addition to this I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the children for their amazingly confident student led conferences. I couldn’t be more proud of how well they coped with their first experience of these wonderful events and I’m sure you will agree, they smashed it!
Bring on the rest of term!
A huge well done to these little smashers who all won postcards for fantastic work and learning habits over the past 2 days.
Great job guys!
Year 1 had a fantastic morning working in teams to solve clues to uncover the spot where a time capsule from 22 years ago was buried.
We were very interested to read the letters and look at the photographs which told part of the history of our awesome school.
We finished by having a great discussion about what we would put in a time capsule to tell our own story.
What a wonderful way to whet our appetites for our future learning.
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
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!

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.
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!
