In readiness for next week, letters will be given out to selected children on Friday inviting them to take part in sensory circuit and it will explain where children arrive and how sensory circuit will run this year.

Thank you,

Green Top’s Community Products

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.

Reading for pleasure…………..it’s library time!

Many of you will know that during 24/25 we dedicated our fundraising to supporting our plans of a reading for pleasure library.  

Well……… 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.

Here’s 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 this…will you join them?

We can’t wait for you to see our new library!

Goodbye Class 5 2025

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!
