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.

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.

This week started off with a fun filled crafting afternoon with our families. A huge thank you to parents and carers who brought in lots of boxes for junk modelling landmarks in Thorne.

In just 1 hour some amazing models were made and are now proudly displayed down the KS1 corridor. We hope you enjoy looking at them as much as the children (and dare I say parents a little more…) did making them!

We have been very busy this week exploring Thorne Town to launch our new theme ‘Would you like to live in a place like this?’ The children have thoroughly enjoyed our walks to Morani’s Gelato Parlour where we ate some delicious ice cream! We have been to feed the ducks and are going to visit the Park at the end of the week.

We have taken lots of photographs and are looking forward to getting back into school to write about all of our experiences. We will also be doing some observational drawing of the places we have visited this week.
