A big well done to Archie on producing this amazing piece of home learning over the last few days. Linked to our new expedition Archie has created St Nicholas’ Church out of boxes paying lots of attention to detail. My favourite part are the stained glass windows- they’re beautiful!
Keep up the amazing efforts Archie- you’ve earned 50 housepoints. Don’t forget to put them on!

In Maths, we are focussing on recognising money and adding different coins together to make a certain amount.
I wonder…to help us with our maths vocabulary…
What other words can you think of that mean the same as ‘add’.
Write as many as you can think of in your homework and show Mrs Faulding/Mrs Burton for extra housepoints and a biscuit!
Let’s see what you can remember!

So blown away by all of the Motivated Moe’s that we have got in our class this week. Today the children worked with a partner to read a piece of text linked to our new story and took it in turns to listen to one another, and also tead it together. This is a great way of building confidence within reading and developing fluency.
Also, can I just say a massive WOW!!!! To all of the book packs that we had handed in today to be changed. An amazing 17 packs were brought back, which means lots of raffle tickets have been put in to the jar for the luxury reading hamper. KEEP IT UP YOU SUPERSTARS! Can we get 20 handed in on Friday?
Thank you to the grown ups at home for always supporting us.

Monday afternoon kicked off the first of our Buddy Reading sessions with children from Mr Ambler’s class in Year 5.
After our pledges last week to improve our reading and understanding of different texts, the children are keen to work hard in every way possible and can’t wait to read with some of the older children from our school.
We are so lucky that a group of children from year 5 have volunteered to do this with us on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thank you so much!!
Let’s show them how amazing we are guys 🌟

What a spooky start to our week! We had a UFO crash land just outside our classroom! 
After that, the children put together the pieces of the puzzle to create the front cover of our new book ‘Beegu’. They wrote their predictions of what our new text will be about and how does it link to the flying saucer outside our classroom? 🛸
We can’t wait to read the book to find out more and see if their predictions were correct!

Well Done Nahla who has this weekend competed in the city of Birmingham Irish dance championship today, she got to wear her new dress which she couldn’t wait to show off and came away with 7 medals, a trophy and a sash. She is very proud of herself as are we!
Great job Nahla!
Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are beginning an exciting new reading challenge competition!
Starting tomorrow, Friday the 10th of January, everytime your child brings their reading pack into school to be changed they will receive a raffle ticket. Once every 4 weeks a lucky winner from each class will win a SUPER READER HAMPER full of prizes. The more your child reads at home, the more chances they will have of winning the monthly prize!
So come on! Get out those reading packs and get reading!!!
After our walk today the children were challenged to sketch any building that took their interest.
Both Ronnie and Erin chose St Nicholas Church. They both sat quietly with tremendous focus on the task and the outcome was fantastic.
Well done girls, we are very proud of you.
Mrs Burton 🙂
Thank you for all those who joined us for our walk this morning. The children had a great time and had lots to talk about when they got back to school.

Click on the link to see what we got up to on our walk around some areas of Thorne yesterday.
It was great to walk through the park and discuss the cenotaph and the history of the park, wander down the canal to Thorne Lock where we were lucky enough to see a narrow boat come through and watch the whole process (the gentleman on the boat was kind enough to discuss everything with the children whilst in the lock, waiting for the water) and then head back towards school, stopping off at the fire station.
We also discussed the different types of houses on our travels and how different they all are and how large Thorne is.
When we returned back to school, we held a circle to give children the opportunity to discuss their highlight of the walk and why.
The children conducted themselves beautifully as always/ very sensible and respectful. Well done Class 7, you’re all superstars 🌟
