Transition: Our Future Year 3’s

This week, I have enjoyed a fabulous two days transition where I was able to get to meet my lovely new class and get to know everyone. We spent time exploring our feelings and zones of regulation as well as different creative activities. A big thank you to those parents who could make it to our share a book sessions, too. Now, I can’t wait to get started with everyone when we come back in the summer … it looks like we’re going to have a great time in Year 3! Best wishes for a beautiful summer everyone, Mrs Dutton x

Class 10 – Shout Out to our Fabulous Performers!

A huge shout out to the children from Class 10 who performed in The Wizard of Oz … we were all blown away by your energy and pizzazz on stage on Monday when we finally managed to watch the performance. Everybody was incredible but we loved watching our very own classmates perform the best – we are all so proud of you! Well done 🙂

Y3 visit to the Cenotaph

Today, Year 3 were excited to visit Thorne Memorial Park once again. This time, to meet up with our friends from the Victoria Cross Trust who were steam washing the cenotaph in order to restore its original splendour. Unfortunately, the steam cleaner wasn’t quite working during our visit so we didn’t get to see it in action but Keith, who we worked with back in Autumn term, has kindly shared some videos of the washer in all its working glory! (see below)

We’re sure you will agree that the before & after shows an amazing transformation. A huge shout out to the VC Trust and the amazing work that they do!

Engineering club representatives

We are incredibly proud to share that three of our talented pupils represented our Engineering Club at the recent Celebration Event in Snaith — and they absolutely blew everyone away with their creativity, teamwork, and technical skills!

As part of the challenge, the children were tasked with testing their engineering builds for both load-bearing strength and their ability to move in a straight line. But the event didn’t stop there — they were also put to the test in a live interview with two employees from Siemens Rail, where they confidently explained their design choices and the reasoning behind their builds.

What happened next was nothing short of amazing…

The judges were so impressed by our pupils’ work — especially the addition of coding in their designs — that they awarded them the top grade, a level never awarded before!

Not only that, but our team secured both 1st and 2nd place, receiving their prizes from none other than Mark Speed, Manager at Siemens Rail in Goole.

Year 3 and 4 Presentation of Learning

We are delighted to invite you to the Year 3 and Year 4 Presentation of Learning, which will take place on 2nd July at 9am. 

The morning will begin with a coffee morning in the hall, followed by a presentation by our Year 3 and 4 children, where they will showcase what they’ve been learning this term. We are incredibly proud of all the hard work they’ve put in and are excited for them to share it with you.

Please enter the hall via the Ash Tree entrance, not the office.

Following the presentation, parents and children are warmly invited to enjoy a walk around our Summer Fayre, where there will be a range of stalls and activities for everyone to enjoy.

We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating the children’s achievements together.

Children will then return to their classrooms at 10:15.

Class 10 – Proud to Support Pride!

Last week in crew, we learned all about Pride Month and the challenged faced by the LGBTQ+ community. Children showed great compassion and tolerance of others through our discussions and they each completed their own rainbow poster, which detailed all the different ways that they might be different to others too.
