Class 9’s FWB!

29th August 2025Robyn Cooper

What an amazing first week back we have had in Class 9! We began the week by exploring camp GreenTop with Mr Kershaw where we made smores on the fire and used amazing communication and listening skills in our team building challenges. Class 9 also blew Mr Overson away with their orienteering skills.

Our week has been full of excitement, laughter and lots of fun. We focused a lot of our learning around our different character traits and considered how we can improve on these throughout our journey in year 3. We also practised democracy and voted for our Crew Council, digital leader, reading ambassador and active sports ambassador. The children have shown great courage. I could not be prouder.

We finished our amazing week with the ‘water extravaganza’. I hope the children enjoyed this as much as I did! I can’t wait to see what the rest of our year is going to be like Class 9! Have a lovely weekend! – Miss Cooper x

Class 8’s first week back

27th August 2025Aime Shaw

Class 8 have been busy making cards, which we will be delivering to a local care home this week, we have made keyrings to spread kindness, which will be handed out in Thorne on Friday and we have been litter picking today trying to make our community a nicer place to live.

We have also loved playing games, singing and colouring as well this week too! I am loving getting to know the children in class 8

Foodbank donations

26th August 2025Rebecca Knowles

Year 5 are learning about ‘acts of service’ this week and would love to be able to take lots of donations to our local food bank who help so many families. The children have made posters and a video and visited each class to kindly ask for donations! If you can, please dig through your cupboards and bring any donations by Thursday 28th August.

As always, we appreciate your support as do our Year 5 children!

As many of you know, we take great pride in the products we share within our local and sometimes wider community.  Over the years we have had many products around Thorne.

This is just a selection of the beautiful work our children have produced and proudly displayed within our community.


We need your help!


We would like to produce a display in school celebrating the work we have done.


We would like you to share photographs of your children or you as a family with the products you may have spotted in our local or wider community.  We would love to share your photographs as part of the celebration board.  Please share before the end of September.

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!

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!
