We have had the best afternoon visiting Parklands this afternoon and it was absolutely beautiful. They had prepared some great activities for the children to play with the residents and gave us a lovely present and card to thank the children for really cheering them all up. Thank you so much to all of the staff at Parklands for making us feel so welcome…we really had such an enjoyable time.
Today, Year 2 have been thinking about people who might need help or support in their community and this afternoon we have continued being local superheroes by visiting care homes to meet residents and share cards and pictures with them. Some of the children from Class 7 enjoyed a visit to Adeline House and it was really special to watch them engage with the elderly residents and to see the joy they brought to the home – well done boys and girls, you should be so proud of yourselves!
What a fantastic night we had last night camping out and making fab memories! Despite lots of tired faces, we have still had a jam packed day today and shown great stewardship skills cleaning up our camp and learning more about our community with a visit to our local food bank at Thorne Rugby Club. Louise kindly told us lots of information and let us watch how the food bank runs. We can’t wait to go back and continue helping and donating.
To finish off our day, we’ve watched the film ‘The Lorax’ ready for hook week and enjoyed popcorn, biscuits and sweets! A good night sleep is definitely needed tonight!
Our first week at school is a special and fun time! We would like to invite you to join us on our first week back into Reception on Friday 1st September from 2.30-3.00pm.
We would like to invite you to bring a teddy bear and come and share a book with your child in the reception garden and indulge in a sweet treat!
Please arrive at the gates near your child’s class (on Ash Tree Road) and a member of the Reception team will come to let you in.
The children loved this event in Nursery and we hope this one will be just as lovely and will give us a chance to meet and get to know our parents too!
Shoutout to Year 3- could you all please bring in a cereal box (maybe 2 if you have a spare?). Next week we are getting crafty in our hook week, but we will need some empty cereal boxes. If you have one please send it with the children as soon as possible, they will be being used on Wednesday!
Year 2 will be spreading more cheer in the community this afternoon and will be visiting local care homes and taking them gifts that they have made. If you would like your child to opt out of this, please do let their class teacher know. Thank you!
Today we continued to answer our guiding question – How does what I do impact others? – by gathering discarded materials on our playground and sorting them into categories ready for recycling. We learned about the 3 R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – and discussed ways we could put this into practise to improve our environment. We played a memory game in crew, used number fans to answer maths calculations, recapped more phonic sounds, continued with our guided reading activity, danced, played and sang songs. Take a look at the slideshow below to get an idea of just how hard we have worked today. As promised there are also photographs from yesterday’s XP Outdoors session too.
If we carry on as we have begun I have a feeling this is going to be an amazing year!
In addition to this a huge well done to Nevaeh, Henry and Grace, who were proud to receive today’s postcards for their Work Hard, Get Smart and Be Kind attitudes.
This afternoon, the children were lucky enough to have Mr Kershaw teach them how to make a catapult! It wasn’t an easy task but the children gave it their best efforts.
Today we have been exploring our guiding question ‘How does what I do impact others?’ Today we did a litter pick around school and we sorted materials that could be recycled. We also played a fun memory game in our crew session and practised our phonics skills. The children have been awesome again today. I think it is going to be a fantastic year!
Class 8 have been working hard to set a fantastic example for their local community today. They were role models walking sensibly through Thorne and were reminding everyone about using the bins. They were extremely careful and used the equipment brilliantly. I am so proud of them today! Well done my superheroes!
