Jake, in Year 6, approached the school and his crew with wanting raise awareness around MND.

As a crew, we have planned a MND day for Friday 19th April for the whole school.

We are encouraging all children to wear something white, yellow or blue for a small donation that will go directly to the MND association. We will also be holding a coffee and cake morning in our school hall, all of our parents and carers are welcome to join us from 8:45.

Spectacular Spoons!

18th March 2024Rebecca Knowles

I can’t believe the amount of wonderful character spoons we had fetched into school as part of our World Book Day competition! The creativity and effort that has gone into each and every one is amazing!

The Learning Council judged the spoons this morning but it was such a hard choice that we have ended up with 8 winners instead of 4!

Watch this space to see the winning spoons tomorrow …

Here are just some of the fabulous characters!

Reception Celebration of Learning

14th March 2024Rebecca Carter

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended our COL yesterday! The children were super excited to share their learning from the stories they had explored across all 3 case studies. The children showcased their work beautifully teaching the adults how to sing and sign ‘Goldilocks and the 3 bears!’ The children presented books to our day care early years settings and to Jenny from Thorne library. We are so proud of how much money the children have raised to buy books for children to enjoy and to share their learning with the wider world. The money will also support the development of new reading areas and our expeditionary curriculum! Thank you to all adults who kindly donated to help the children raise a whopping £1800 pounds!

The children enjoyed time in their classrooms with their adults taking part in many of our learning activities from this term. Here are some of our snapshots.

Reception exploring narrative!

28th February 2024Rebecca Carter

This week the children in reception have been retelling and reading the narrative of The Gingerbead Man! The children took part in a gallery walk looking at pictures from the story. The children worked with their partner to recall the events in of the story thinking specifically about what was happening in the picture. The children then were challenged to read the narrative in the speech bubbles and also the red words!

Here is a link to the story and the red words we know so far. I wonder if you can retell the story at home?
