This morning, year 2 went into Thorne and sang some of our beautiful crew songs. They were amazing and we got some awesome feedback from the public. We then walked down finkle street handing out keyrings that we had made, just to make people smile!
This afternoons water fight was also amazing! We had so much fun and got very wet!!! I hope the children have enjoyed today as much as I have…have a wonderful weekend!!! X x x
In Year 3, our first week back has been ALL about exploring what makes a good crew member because ‘if we get crew right, we get everything right!’ so on Wednesday, we thought about how we could be good crew members in our local communities – both within school and beyond! Then, to put this into action we went out and about to litter pick in Thorne Memorial Park. We even found a little bit of time to play and rest, and to take in the beautiful boards there made by last years’ Year3/4 children … who knows where our beautiful work will end up this year?! The children were a real credit to us all and we were so proud of their beautiful behaviour out in the community – great job boys and girls!
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!
On Friday 27th September we are hosting a MacMillan Coffee Morning in our school hall.
Come and join us between 8:30 and 9:30 to help us raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
We would greatly appreciate any donations including buns, cakes or cookies. Please hand them to crew leaders or to Mrs Spetch.
Children will also be able to purchase one bun each for 50p.
We look forward to seeing you all!
Year 5 spent this morning out and about in the community, litter picking and delivering ‘Thank you’ notes to people who help us! Some of us were extremely lucky to be invited into the Fire Station for a look around! This ties in perfectly with our Transition guiding question “How can our Crew be strengthened by acts of service to others?“…bring on our Campout to end a perfect day!
A huge well done goes to our very kind and caring Ava, who was so enthralled by our recent work with local care homes that she has encouraged her family to get involved too. At the weekend, Ava went back to visit the care home with her family to spread some Christmas cheer and she was gifted this lovely card made and signed by the residents there. Well done, Ava – what a superstar carer you are. We are all very proud of your kindness and compassion – just what Christmas is all about!
This evening, we are delighted to have held our KS1 Celebration of Learning – the very first Green Top Pride of Thorne Awards Ceremony!
This very special event has brought together nominees from across our local community who have been recognised for their invaluable work both with and for the people of Thorne. From foodbanks to emergency services to care homes … The list and variety of work celebrated this evening was phonomenol and each and every award was so well deserved. Congratulations to all of you!
Special thanks go to our KS1 children and their parents / carers for their ongoing support in both our learning journey towards this event and the success of our event this evening – we really couldn’t do it without you.
A huge thank you and well done from everyone in the KS1 team x
This afternoon, Class 7 have been helping local shoppers to pack their bags and the store staff to clear and tidy the shelves. Well done boys and girls – you are all superstar heroes! One little job for Class 7, an afternoon of smiles for the shoppers of Thorne 🙂
The EYFS team and children are delighted to share that we raised a whopping £446 to buy teddy bears for the children at Changing Little Lives in Doncaster.

Merry Christmas!

Dear All,
As part of our expeditionary learning we will be having a book sale everyday after school outside Nursery to raise money to buy teddy bears for Doncaster Changing Little Lives. These bears will provide much needed comfort for children in need aged 0-3 years.
If you feel able to donate to this worthy cause please donate on ParentPay or cash on the day. The suggested amount will show as £1.00 on Parent Pay from today but any donations are more than welcome.
Thank you for your continued support and care.
The EYFS Team
