Map making!

10th May 2022Samantha Good

As part of our final product this term in KS1, class 5 have started the process of making a layered map of our local area. Today was step one- drawing the outline. We used tracing paper and worked really hard, taking our time and making sure to take pride in our work to trace the streets carefully. We managed to create some beautiful first layers and next-up will be to add some locations on our maps! Hopefully we can use our new map reading skills to find places to include.

Eventually, we will have wonderful maps of Thorne that showcase some awesome areas around! Keep up the hard work class 5, you make me so proud every day of how much hard work you are showing 😀

Reminder for the key stage 1 celebration of learning

2nd May 2022Aime Shaw

****If you haven’t already let your teacher know or completed the form please do…the more families that attend, the more proud the children will be of their fantastic work! ****

We are so excited to finally invite parents to see the fantastic video that our children made during the Autumn term. The expedition was called ‘ What will I do to be a superhero in my community?’ and we believe that this video showcases all of their hard work throughout the term.

We would like to invite all parents and carers to XP East for our film premiere on Tuesday 17th May 2022. It will begin at 5pm and last for approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

We would love if the children could come in their best party clothes, just like the movie stars do at a film premiere. There will be refreshments available.

Please let teachers know how many people from your family will be attending. It would be great to see as many faces as possible at the event to really celebrate the children’s learning!

Please complete the following form by clicking on the link below so that we know how many people will be attending. Alternatively, please speak to your class teacher to let them know who will be coming from your family.

Postcard winner!

26th April 2022Samantha Good

Well done to Ria-Mae today for blowing Miss O’Neill and myself away all day! She has been working hard to find halves this morning and done some wonderful writing this afternoon. We made predictions about what we think our new case study, Geography, is going to include! Great job class 5, and especially Ria-Mae!

Getting our Kixx on!

25th April 2022Samantha Good

We had our first session with Kixx football today in class 5, and what fun we had! The children loved learning new skills, some of us got to show off their football skills and the children loved playing some fun games.

This will be our PE sessions for the next few weeks on a Monday afternoon, so if we could make sure to bring a change of shoes in particular but in general an outdoor PE kit.

Can’t wait to see the children learning new skills and having fun!
