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!
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!
Big shoutout to all of class 5 for our first week back after half term. It’s been full of fun and hard work, a lot of us even getting to share our amazing learning with parents and families. What a week so far!
These 3 superstars have been voted by our awesome crew for their hard work, kind manners and attitude around School, as our Be Kind, Get Smart and Work Hard postcard winners this week. We held a vote throughout the day and I totally agree with the outcome. Such fantastic members to have in the class.
Keep it up! Miss Good x
WOW what a fantastic afternoon we had when Geoff came in to teach us all about the amazing ways a drone can be used to capture arial images. The children (and adults!!) loved watching the drone take off and head up into the sunny sky. We learnt all about the quadcopter style of drone, and we even figured out it was called that because of the 4 propellers it uses to fly! After we watched it take off and fly through the sky, we then got to see some incredible images that had been taken of the school and Thorne, we could see for miles! We can’t wait to share those pictures too.
As part of our hook into our new expedition – Diverse Doncaster. Where do we belong? – class 6 had lots of fun being historians this afternoon by looking at artefacts and using evidence to decide if they were reliable sources. We worked in groups to match baby pictures to staff photographs. Well done to Tallon, Lexi, Deacon, Ezra, Anais, Bobby and Hunter who guessed 5 of the 18 sets of photos correctly….
Check out the pictures here…weren’t we the cutest babies?
Class 5 had a brilliant morning of family fun, collecting up lots of resources to make bug hotels with! We used techniques like shredding and glueing that we have been looking at in art to get creative with compostable material safe for our wonderful wildlife.
Have a look at some of our work…
Please keep this date in your diary… Monday 9th May 2022
In our next expedition we are looking in detail at Thorne, including the history of our school and community. We would like to invite family members to an informal coffee morning where you can have a drink and a bun while sharing your experiences of how Thorne and Green Top has changed over the years. If you have experience of living in a contrasting area too then it would be great for the children to be able to compare. Even better, if you have old photographs to share then we would love to see them.
Thank you

WHAT a week this week, we have been working so hard in our assessments this week and to top it off, class 5 have had some amazing work to celebrate this morning! Here are our Be Kind, Work Hard and Get Smart post card winners this week. Everyone deserves a huge shout out though, it’s been a tough old week so far but the hard work is really paying off in the outcomes of our assessments!
Class 5 are that amazing, that even when they are given the choice of what to do, they still choose to do work, and represent their learning by making equations out of blocks! Keep up the great attitude to learning team, I am so proud of you all 😀
