Goodbye Class 5 2025

19th July 2025Carly Schon

Well what can I say. Class 5, myself and Miss Cooper are going to miss you sooooo much. You have been so much fun. Your personalities have absolutely shone through all year. Even the children who began the year shy and quiet have absolutely bloomed! You have worked so hard and I can see that you are all ready to begin your next adventure in Year 2. I am so pleased I will still get to see you all again next year so I can follow your journeys. A huge thank you from me and Miss Cooper for being so awesome and keeping us entertained throughout the year. We have laughed so much and had endless amounts of cuddles! Enjoy your summer break – you have all earned it!

Before we sign off I would like to share the work the children have been doing over the past couple of days. We have two videos to share with you. The children have not seen these yet so I would appreciate it if you could let the children watch them. The first video are the speeches the children prepared as part of our Aspirations Week. I was so proud of them all for showing courage and all being willing to stand up in front of their classmates and delivered their speeches! They all showed perseverance even when it became hard. I wanted to create a video to show them off! The second video is a song we have been singing linked to Graduation. I thought it would be a nice idea for the children to act out the words to create this special Graduation Video. I’m sure the children will enjoy singing and dancing along to it!

Transition For Mrs Shaws new class

11th July 2025Aime Shaw

I had so much fun this week meeting my new class. I have loved getting to know them, they have been amazing…little superstars, all of them! I am so excited for next year! A special thank you to miss schons new class for coming to share their performance with us and letting the children read their books to them. Here is just some of what we got up to…

Have a fantastic Summer!

Class 4 Transition day 1!

9th July 2025Lorna Jones

Our EYFS children had a beautiful first transition day, filled with confidence, smiles, and a sense of adventure. They embraced their new environment with excitement, trying lots of new activities and exploring every corner of their learning space. The day was themed around Belonging and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, inspiring creative play, storytelling, and curiosity. Outside, the fun continued with sand and water play, exploring the den and camping area, and enjoying lively dining and music sessions with Mr. Pickles. It was a joyful, sun-filled start to their journey, and we can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Y3 visit to the Cenotaph

2nd July 2025Claire Dutton

Today, Year 3 were excited to visit Thorne Memorial Park once again. This time, to meet up with our friends from the Victoria Cross Trust who were steam washing the cenotaph in order to restore its original splendour. Unfortunately, the steam cleaner wasn’t quite working during our visit so we didn’t get to see it in action but Keith, who we worked with back in Autumn term, has kindly shared some videos of the washer in all its working glory! (see below)

We’re sure you will agree that the before & after shows an amazing transformation. A huge shout out to the VC Trust and the amazing work that they do!

Class 12 are assessment free!

2nd July 2025Alishia Pearson

All our assessments are done!! And I just wanted to post to let you all know how incredibly proud I am of you all! You have all shown wonderful courage and confidence and are so eager and excited to hear your scores (even if you think I can mark them all in 30 minutes!) it’s been so wonderful to see you all develop and progress over the last two years! Well done, you amazing bunch of wonderfuls!

Year 3 – Water Safety Assembly

19th June 2025Claire Dutton

Year 3 enjoyed an online assembly by Yorkshire Water, all about how to stay safe around water … especially during the hot summer when we might be tempted to get closer to water than usual. Why not ask us about the things we learned?

Classical violinist visitor

18th June 2025Aime Shaw

Today we enjoyed Eleanor Holt coming into our classes to play her violin for us. She is classically trained and it was wonderful to listen to. The children were very excited about it and love playing and listening to music. They did a little quiz to see if they could work out what she was playing…I personally loved the Disney film songs! We will be seeing a lot more of her next year in school and can’t wait to get started with our music lessons!

KS2 Tennis

13th June 2025Tom Ambler

Well done to our KS2 tennis team who took part in our first legacy competition yesterday at Doncaster Tennis Club. It was great to see some excellent tennis skills on display and the boys really enjoying themselves. Well done for finishing 5th boys! Shout out to George for winning the sportsmanship award! Bring on the next competition!
