Year 5 and 6 History Club Remember

20th May 2025Jayne Rodgers

We always have lots of fun in our History club…one of the best things about it is that the children choose the topic every week…not necessarily themes that are normally covered in our curriculum, but subjects in which they are especially interested. However, one of the most popular talking points is World War 2 and the events that were part of it. We spent the first part of club tonight discussing the emotions felt after the announcement of the end of the conflict. We proudly gave the iconic ‘V for Victory’ sign in front of our corridor display tonight. A sign made famous by the then Prime Minister, Winston Churchill as he appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and the Princesses Elizabeth and Margret to commemorate the end of the fighting in Europe.

Celebrating VE Day 80

20th May 2025Jayne Rodgers

As well as having the honour to take part in the VE Day 80th anniversary service in Thorne Park last week, we were also graced with a visit from Mr and Mrs Miller of the Royal British Legion this Monday, who came to admire our wonderful corridor display. We had tried to convey the joy of that day so long ago by recreating a street party, and we tried to think about the emotions felt by the British people as they celebrated the end of the conflict in Europe.

Historic, jubilant, commemorative, celebratory, moving, triumphant, and hopeful…all of these feelings and more.

Thankfully, our children’s generation have never had the reason to feel these emotions for this reason…and hopefully learning about them will ensure that they will never have to…

But to everyone who lived through these life changing times….We thank you for your service x

KS1: Wednesday

20th May 2025Carly Schon

Tomorrow is going to be a very exciting day for the children in Key Stage 1.

Tomorrow we have a visitor in school. We will be visiting the Space Dome to find out all about space! The last time the Space Dome visited school the children absolutely loved it. It was lovely to see the awe and wonder on their faces! If you haven’t paid for the visitor yet please support us by paying £4 through your parent pay account to ensure we can continue to offer these experiences for the children.

Tomorrow all children in Key Stage 1 need to bring their PE kit and trainers to school as we will be practising our Sports Day events. This will replace Year 1 Thursday PE session so PE kits are needed on Wednesday only this week please.

Tomorrow is also the school disco. Children come to school in their uniform as normal but can bring some Disco clothes in their backpack. Children will change in their classes and will be taken to the hall by their teachers. Children can be collected form the normal home time doors at 3:45pm. Entry to the Disco is £2 but there will also be some sweets for sale for children who bring additional money.

Ice Pops! All children who have paid for ice pops today will receive their ice pop tomorrow. As we missed out today KS1 will be having ice pops on Wednesday AND Thursday.

As there is so much going on in school tomorrow if children could please bring any money for ice/pops disco in a bag/envelope with a written list of what the money is for we would greatly appreciate it e.g.

Child’s Name

Ice pop wed 50p

Ice pop thur 50p
