Class 5’s visit to Weston Museum!

WOW What a day we had yesterday! It was incredible to see the children so excited about all the exhibits throughout West Park Museum. We got to explore what living in Sheffield was like in the 1950s, what jobs people used to have and how what the ‘Steel City’ really had to offer. The children got to browse the incredible art in the gallery, looking at different interpretations of the rural fields and hills, the 5 main rivers that run through Sheffield, the steel factories and how it has changed over the years to the urbanised, high rise built up area we drove through.

I can’t wait to see the finished banner we created with print working too. The children got to use real ink to make impressions, printed onto a wonderful fabric banner. Hopefully we can display these proudly in school 😀 We took so many amazing pictures, I couldn’t choose the best, just look at all our smiling faces!!!

Map making!

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

****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.
