Fun at our key stage 1 disco

What a fabulous time was had by the children at our disco this afternoon. It was amazing to see them together: dancing, playing and generally having lots of fun!

Hope they weren’t too excitable at home tonight! 🤪

Fantastic family learning

What a wonderful afternoon class 6 have had today on their family learning event. Continuing with our current expedition, ‘What can I do to be a superhero in my community?’, we embarked on a clean up campaign along the banks of the canal. It was a beautiful day for a walk and, although we didn’t find much litter to pick up, we were pleased that our local community are following our keep Thorne clean values, and that we are making those small changes that have huge effect. It was also wonderful to hear the comments of some of the local residents that we passed along the way as to how lovely it was to see our polite and happy children out and about in the community again. Miss Wilkins, Mr Wright and I couldn’t be more proud of the way you behaved. I would also like to say a huge thank-you to all of the children’s family members who took time out of their day to join us on our litter-pick. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Check out the gallery below for photographs of our afternoon.

Flying start to Autumn 2

What a fabulous start to the new half term today. Miss Good and I re-hooked the children into our class text Matilda by dressing as Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull. The children practised their speaking and listening skills by thinking up some fabulous questions to ask their ‘new’ teachers and then used opposite adjective matching activities to link what they know about the characters to their literacy learning.

A huge well done to Shae and Deacon for becoming the first postcard winners in class 6 for their fabulous engagement with their tasks today.

Keep it up my superstars!

Class 5 Family Learning

Class 5 would like to invite you to join us for a family learning event on Wednesday 3rd November …

As you know, we have been learning all about being superheroes in our local community and about how we can make a difference to the world around us. With this in mind, we would like you to join us in a litter picking event in the Thorne community when we return to school after half-term.

If you would like to join us, please arrive at school on Wednesday 3rd November at 1.30pm and we aim to return to school by 2.30pm ready for home time. A text will be sent by school as a reminder.

We look forward to seeing you then, Miss Good and Class 5!

Recipe card launch video

Thank you everyone for all of your support in helping us to celebrate the launch of our Sunmer 2021 recipe cards where we learnt about countries around the world, healthy living and where food comes from.

There were fantastic food options to taste and information to read about the countries that the children studied closely.

We hope you enjoy the video and agree with us about the success of last year’s expedition.

Thanks to everyone involved

Mrs Shaw and the key stage 1 team

Reading Champion in class 6

To highlight the importance of regular reading practise and to encourage reading for pleasure, key stage 1 have begun to award a Reading Champion trophy to the child who reads the most books weekly in each class. Massive congratulations to the children who received the trophy this week. Our own champion was Deacon, who lead the way with a huge 12 books read. Who will be our next Champion?

Remember, you can record all of your reading in your yellow journal, not just school books.

Pumpkin decorating in Crew Rodgers

If you are visiting the Frenchgate Centre in Doncaster over half-term be sure to look out for the pumpkins decorated by our fabulous children here at Green Top. Each crew decorated their own pumpkin and below is the one done by crew Rodgers. Each of the children added a bat, a spider or a ghost to the pumpkin and we are very proud of our efforts.

Have a great half-term everyone.

KS1 phase assembly winners

KS1 held their first phase assembly in the hall this morning, in 18 months! What a pleasure it was to see your smiling faces altogether again! Check out the gallery of photographs below for our certificate winners. We also presented some Reading Champion awards for the children who have read the most books from their reading packs and Paddington the attendance bear was very happy to be spending the next week with the crew who had the most children in school every day…..well done CrewDutton.

Keep up the good work guys!
