As many of you know, we take great pride in the products we share within our local and sometimes wider community. Over the years we have had many products around Thorne.
This is just a selection of the beautiful work our children have produced and proudly displayed within our community.
We need your help!
We would like to produce a display in school celebrating the work we have done.
We would like you to share photographs of your children or you as a family with the products you may have spotted in our local or wider community. We would love to share your photographs as part of the celebration board. Please share before the end of September.
Many of you will know that during 24/25 we dedicated our fundraising to supporting our plans of a reading for pleasure library. Â
WellâŠâŠâŠ during the last three weeks Miss Knowles and Mrs Overson have been busy making these plans come together and our dream of having this library become a reality.
Hereâs a few teaser photographs we have taken:
Can you guess what the theme is?
We will be hosting a special event as an official opening of our library during our reading week at the end of the autumn 1 term so watch out for this!
Reading is a big part of our culture and at Green Top we believe that a love of reading unlocks many opportunities! With this in mind, who wants to take part in a summer reading challenge? Take a look and take up this challenge just for fun! Miss Knowles and Mrs Overson are giving themselves until the end of September to achieve thisâŠwill you join them?
Well what can I say. Class 5, myself and Miss Cooper are going to miss you sooooo much. You have been so much fun. Your personalities have absolutely shone through all year. Even the children who began the year shy and quiet have absolutely bloomed! You have worked so hard and I can see that you are all ready to begin your next adventure in Year 2. I am so pleased I will still get to see you all again next year so I can follow your journeys. A huge thank you from me and Miss Cooper for being so awesome and keeping us entertained throughout the year. We have laughed so much and had endless amounts of cuddles! Enjoy your summer break – you have all earned it!
Before we sign off I would like to share the work the children have been doing over the past couple of days. We have two videos to share with you. The children have not seen these yet so I would appreciate it if you could let the children watch them. The first video are the speeches the children prepared as part of our Aspirations Week. I was so proud of them all for showing courage and all being willing to stand up in front of their classmates and delivered their speeches! They all showed perseverance even when it became hard. I wanted to create a video to show them off! The second video is a song we have been singing linked to Graduation. I thought it would be a nice idea for the children to act out the words to create this special Graduation Video. I’m sure the children will enjoy singing and dancing along to it!
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust from the last two weeks of term! It’s been filled with all kinds of wonderful things from all of our schools. To read about other stories from across the XP Trust, visit xptrust.org.
At XP, we believe education should help young people discover who they are, what they stand for, and how they can make a difference. The arts are at the heart of this.
Through music, dance, drama, and visual art, our students learn to collaborate, express themselves, and craft work of real depth and beauty. These arenât âextrasâ to the curriculum â they are essential experiences that develop the character traits we value above anything else: courage, craftsmanship, respect, and compassion.
Last Friday, we celebrated these values at our second XP Festival of Arts & Culture â a day filled with music, dance, and art from across all the schools in our Trust. Every primary school showcased their dancing skills in collaboration with Phoenix Dance Company, alongside cheerleaders and singers from across the Trust.
The afternoon culminated in a show-stopping parade led by the New York Brass Band, bringing everyone together for an unforgettable rendition of Kool and the Gangâs âCelebrationâ. The evening carried the energy forward with live music from XP Doncaster and XP Gateshead students, alongside local bands and professional artists.
Our students were phenomenal â both on stage and in the audience â showing once again the power of Crew in action.
A huge thank you goes to the XP Doncaster and Plover staff who stewarded and supported the event. It was a powerful example of whatâs possible when we create spaces for young people to thrive.
