Thank you to everyone who attended the Year 3 Family Learning. The children had a great time learning new facts about mountains, volcanos and earthquakes in readiness for our new expedition; Earth Shattering Events!

Class 9 | Visit to the National Coal Mining Museum
At the weekend, Matilda visited the National Coal Mining Museum where she went on an underground tour! Whilst there, she managed to find a World War Two display that contained a ration book, linking back to the first expedition of the year!
Year 3/4 | Expert Visitor
This week, we were lucky enough to have Kerry come in to talk to the children about our new expedition. She was unfortunate enough to have experienced the flooding in Fishlake in 2019 and explained to the children how her family and neighbours were affected by this terrible event.
Class 9 | Layers of the Soil
Today, we have been looking at the different layers of the soil.
Class 9 | Layers of the Earth
This week, we have been looking at the different layers of the Earth. We then used this information to create our own cross section of the Earth, remembering to include each of the different layers!

Y3/4 Science Week – Mr Chalk, Associate Nurse – Our Expert Visitor
Today, we carried on our learning from science week and enjoyed a special visit by Eli’s dad (a.k.a. Mr Chalk). Mr Chalk is an associate nurse and he shared not only a fascinating insight into his role but also lots of examples of how biology (and even maths!) helps him to look after the patients in his care. Of course, the children had lots of questions to ask but they were also fantastic at Mr Chalk’s ‘guess the broken bone’ quiz – well done boys and girls!
A big thank you to Eli from Class 10 for lending us his dad for the afternoon, and an even bigger thank you to Mr Chalk for his engaging and informative presentation!

Class 9 | Sporting Success
Well done to Poppy who was given Player of the Match in a recent rugby match between Thornensians and Grimsby u7’s!
Class 9 | Home Learning
Arnie recently visited Scunthorpe Museum where they had an exhibition running all about the human body. He learned about preservation, X-rays, skeletons and the different layers our bodies have – all of which tied in nicely to what we have been learning this term.
Following the recent visit to Thorne Park, Arnie, Azzy and Addison went on a hunt and found lots of rocks from different primary schools. They later re-hid them for other children to find.
