Today, class 10 loved their literacy starter! They were given the title ‘Buzz the pug in school’ and they had to write a sentence each in a relay to create a short story. They were awarded bonus points for adding: prepositions, contracted words, adverbs and adjectives. The children then shared their stories to the rest of the class. I was so impressed with their efforts and they all had lots of fun!

Class 7 have been studying landscapes in art with Mrs Hardman this week and they reproduced their own landscapes in the style of Ted Harrison. The photos don’t do them justice as they look particularly striking in real life!

Next week they will be taking it a step further with paints and PVA glue to give a 3d effect! Such great work and pride from the children today!

Well done! Mrs Shaw

Class 13 did some more collaborative reading today but this time new children tried out the role of ‘coach’!

Clasd 10 have been amazing today in maths today. They have been focusing on addition and subtraction questions and how to use the inverse to check their answers.

I have seen amazing resilience skills today and I am so proud!

These children scored full marks on this months arithmetic test – 32 out of 32!

Our class average has also risen to 25! A huge well done to these and the rest of Class 13!

Lucas has produced a lovely picture based on Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. He has illustrated the different finch beaks which were used for eating different foods. A fantastic drawing Lucas – Well done!

Ava J and Olyvia did some amazing angles homework at homework club! They continue their learning from maths by drawing and labelling angles. I was really impressed – well done!

I have been made aware of a potential closure of the memorial park due to the forecast of high winds.

The Thorne Moorends Town Council Facebook page states

‘Current forecasts suggest that we may experience wind gusts of up to 56mph overnight and tomorrow. If such winds do arise, due to the high number of trees in the park we may need to close access to Thorne Memorial Park for safety reasons. Access to the café however will be maintained. 

We know that a number of parents use the park as a shortcut to Green Top Primary School so please potentially plan your journeys on the basis that access to the park may be restricted.’

Class 14 carried out an investigation today to help them understand how birds adapt and evolve. They used a variety of different equipment to act as beaks and competed against each other in a race to collect food. The children had great fun and learned lots about Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.
