Just a reminder to parents and carers about our KS2 sports day. Sports day will be on Tuesday 10th June on the KS2 field. Gates will be open from 12:50. Please enter through the main entrance on Middlebrook Lane. We are hoping to start at 1pm and finish before the end of the school day. There will also be refreshments on sale.
Children can come to school in their PE kits on Tuesday. Please make sure that all children wear trainers.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday afternoon!
What a beautiful day for a walk to the park! Today, Year 3 have popped down to Thorne Memorial Park to visit their beautiful remembrance display boards which were produced for our Autumn Expedition, Lest We Forget: How Does War Change Lives? The boards show our digital artwork alongside a biography of the soldiers and people they commemorate, as well as a selection of the children’s poetry about the blitz.
We are so proud of the beautiful work that is displayed here and the message that they present. Why not take a visit to the park over the half-term holiday and enjoy taking in the the boards for yourself?
For half-term, we would like you to practise the Year3 /4 Statutory Spelling List, thank you 🙂
In Maths, we have been learning all about time. Children have recapped telling the time to 15 and 5 minutes on an analogue clock from Year 2 and we have extended this to read the time to any minutes past or to the hour. To help consolidate this learning please find some homework below that you could do at home over the half-term holiday. There will be 100 HoWL points for anyone completing the homework!
And, don’t forget, you can still practise telling the time just by looking at any clocks that you come across – anywhere! Why not challenge yourself to read the time every time you see a clock or a watch? Can you get quicker at doing this by the end of the week?!
Telling the time to 5 minutes – 3 levels of challenge! (includes answers)

A huge well done to this week’s Crew Champions in Year 3/4! It was inspiring to hear about the incredible effort you’ve put into your learning and how you’ve proudly earned your character trait badges — keep it up
A massive thank you to Andy who took the time to come in and speak to the class all about his job and his love for rocks! The children were so engaged with the session and loved getting to examine some of the different rocks that were brought in! What a fantastic way to introduce the children to our next case study!

We had a fantastic day at Magna today! We got the chance to explore the building and experience its fire, water, air and earth exhibitions as well as completing a hands-on workshop all about rocks and volcanoes. We also got to experience ‘The Big Melt,’ which showcased the start up of the furnace at the old steelworks, as well as finishing off the day on the brilliant outdoor play park!
