A huge thank you from us to Mel for coming in to visit us today. Mel shared with us some of her father’s professional art work and showed us how to create some illustrations. She even created us a drawing mascot who we gave the name ‘Marshmallow’.
Before Mel left she asked us to look carefully at Vincent Van Gogh’s 1888 ‘Sunflowers’. This afternoon, the children loved recreating drawings of sunflowers in vases.
Thank you Mel for being such a great inspiration to our children.
See you soon!
Oliver has once again been doing some fantastic home learning over half term. He has explored Thorne and taken photographs. He has then compared his modern day photographs to old images of the same place. If you would like to take a look at Oliver’s home learning, it is proudly displayed in our classroom. Well done Oliver!
Faith has been so so brave over half term after several visits to hospital. Here is Faith with her bravery awards. Well done Faith for being a superstar! I am very proud of you!

Last week, Class 6 had a great time hunting in the quad for different materials. We then looked at them carefully and sorted them into categories of metal, glass, plastic and fabric.
Dan the builder came to visit the KS1 children last week to talk about how houses and other buildings are made. He talked about the different materials needed to create a house and what they were each used for. All of the children and staff loved his visit and found out lots of interesting facts. Thank you Dan for taking time to visit us!
If you can tell your teacher something you learnt from Dan or an interesting fact about materials used to build a house, you will be rewarded with 10 house points!
Emily-Rai won 1st prize after taking the WH Brown quiz. We all learnt lots of interesting facts about Thorne from their visit the other week.
We are so excited about our learning exploration! Watch this space for our collaborative work with WH Brown…
Mike, the owner of the Thorne branch McDonald’s came to visit KS1 today to inform the children about why he opened a restaurant business in Thorne and why it is a huge success in our town.
The children asked some excellent questions and now have lots of great information to support their learning exploration work.
A huge thank you from us all at Green Top to Mike for giving up his time and coming to visit us today.
Oliver has been litter picking this week to tidy up our town using his Grandad’s litter picker. Oliver then created some beautiful posters to advertise keeping Thorne clean and tidy. Well done Oliver! I’m so proud of you!

What an amazing turnout for KS1 family learning. The children, with lots of help from the grown ups in their lives did an amazing job at making some wonderful things to enhance our immersive environment. Big thanks to everyone who managed to come along! The children loved it!

Class 6 were wonderful yesterday in P.E. They created some beautiful poses with their body and relaxed their mind at the end of a busy Monday. Here they are using our band new Green Top Yoga mats.
