What a lovely start to the day we had by singing our songs down Finkle Street and then handing out the key rings that we made. We even handed out our key rings to make people smile!
We then visited a local care home and sang songs, before handing out our cards to the residents!
Finally, we ended the day by having our water fun activities!
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
Wow, what a fantastic start to Year 5 we’ve had this week. We’ve been so busy but had SOOOO much fun.
We’ve supported the Thorne and Moorends Food Bank and are very grateful to everyone who was able to send in a donation. The volunteers at the Food Bank are extremely thankful for how much we managed to collect in only 2 days!
We’ve also completed some collaborative artwork and now have some fantastic wood cookies displaying our Character Traits.
We enjoyed our time at Camp Green Top and took part in Mr Kershaw’s water challenge which was great fun and we even managed to win despite getting a little wet!!
Not forgetting our amazing Year 5 campout on Wednesday. The children enjoyed their gorgeous food from Jenson’s Mum and Dad’s van and enjoyed being together and taking part in campfire games. The children made some postcards to show their gratitude and Jenson presented these to his parents during the camp out. Yesterday afternoon, we completed the orienteering challenge and despite being VERY tired Macky and Junior still managed to come SECOND place in the whole school! Great job boys!
This afternoon, we’re looking forward to the Water Challenge so keep an eye out for the photographs!
An amazing start to the year, I can’t wait for what’s to come.

Yesterday, we took part in a whole KS2 orienteering competition where children had to use maps, teamwork and speed to get around the markers on the course in the quickest time! Shout out to all of Y6 for completing the course and working together as a Y6 crew. There was definitely some competition on show!
This week we have taken part in many crew building activities. I have really enjoyed getting to know my crew and seeing everyone work together as a team. Well done Crew Ambler!
Yesterday, Year 3 took part in a whole KS2 orienteering competition where children had to use maps, teamwork and speed to get around the markers on the course in the quickest time! it was great fun and so lovely to see the children working well together and enjoying the warm weather outdoors.
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!
Wow … what an amazing start to our first week back in Year 3! On Tuesday afternoon, we all attended Camp Green Top where Mr Kershaw put us through our paces with team games, fire safety, smores and a good old sing-song (of course)!
What a lovely morning we had completing an orienteering course where we got to run around the KS2 playground in search of different points!
We then were lucky to be able to visit Camp Green Top that Mr Kershaw put on for us. We read in tents, made musical instruments and toasted marshmallows with Mr Kershaw!
Here we are reading and making instruments!
We ended the day by litter picking within the community!
We had a very special visitor in Class 6 this afternoon to help us understand what happens to the things that we throw away – Lynn, from the Doncaster Council Waste and Recycling Education team. The children had prepared a list of questions to ask and Lynn showed us some very interesting slides and videos to explain what happens to the things we put in our waste and recycling bins. We learned some very interesting things during her visit. For example, did you know that only 3.5% of the things we throw away goes to landfill, and the things we put in our ‘general waste’ bins are repurposed and used to generate electricity? She even left us some gifts – made from recycled materials of course – to remind us how importand it is to ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’.
Thanks for visiting Lynn!
