Year 3/4 donation request

21st June 2024Rebecca Knowles

Next week, our Year 3 and 4 children will be heading into the community to deliver some delicious brownies they will have baked with our cook Michael. These are to say thank you to special people in our community! Some of the places that the children will be delivering to are the local food bank, the charity shop and Little Bunnies playgroup.

We would love it if we could take further donations with us to support these places and charities further. We will be looking for donations such as:

  • Tinned, packet or boxed food for the food bank 
  • Clothes or small unwanted items for charity shop 
  • Young children’s toy, books or £1 donation to help fund the Little Bunnies playgroup

The children will be taking the items brought in and need to carry them so please nothing too big or heavy.

As always, we appreciate your support with helping our local community further!

Class 10 National Writing Day!

20th June 2024Simon Gerrard

Yesterday was national Writing day. This mean the children had freedom to write about a chosen image and decide what genre to write about. We had some fantasy tales, some newspaper articles and some excellent narratives. The children tried to remember features that we have used this year as well. There were some really lovely and interesting pieces of writing and what was great to see was the fun had by all when writing their pieces of work. It was a relaxed atmosphere and then we loved hearing what others wrote.

History Club

11th June 2024Jayne Rodgers

The children in History Club continued their learning on D Day tonight by adding to the 80th Anniversary commemoration display in the KS1 corridor. Children from all year groups have contributed work to the display and I am blown away by both the quality of the work, and the empathy shown in the content of the writing. We discussed the Normandy landings on the morning of the 6th of June 1944, and the children learned about the reasons behind the previous evening’s mass drop of paratroopers behind Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and how these brave men fought to capture and hold roads and bridges to secure a safer passage for those who were to follow in the beach attacks the next day.

There are still a few finishing touches to be added and photographs of the completed display will be blogged as soon as it is completed but here is a sneak preview…

Learning Council – D Day Shoutout!

10th June 2024Sophie Myers

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!
