Wow, we’ve had great fun today during our second day back! We started crew with a funny crew activity where some children showed amazing resilience! We then thought about our character traits and made bracelets to celebrate our teachers. This afternoon we had fun playing team games, even getting a little bit wet in the process!
Thank you for your food bank donations so far! Year 5 really appreciate it! If anyone else would like to donate, please fetch into school first thing in the morning! Thank you!
This week, Class 7 are working on being kinder members in their community and thinking what that could mean. So… we thought it would be great to make key rings that will be handed out on Friday.
We also want to visit a local elderly home and have made our own cards for them, which we cannot wait to drop off!
We have had a great week so far and there is still lots of fun to be had!
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

WOW! We have had the most gorgeous morning exploring water and building strong and lasting relationships. We have all experienced ‘throw your head back’ laughter! The children loved soaking the adults, throwing water balloons, firing super soakers, splashing , sponging and lots of bubble play. It’s been so special and created memories to last.
What an amazing bunch of little superstars we have in class 6! We began the day by going on a treasure hunt to work out which norms we want to see in our new class and supported each other by helping with phonics to read the statements. We gathered some items of waste from our playground, sorted them according to their materials and discovered that ALL of the materials we found can be recycled in some way. We had a visit from our Y6 learning coaches who helped us to create craft using ‘trash’. and we ended the day by exploring the different areas of our new classroom and used our skills to build castles, colour pictures, create patterns, build towers and engage in imaginative play. I was particularly impressed by the team work shown by Albie, Niamh, Ellie, Regan and Blossom who worked together to finish our dinosaur jigsaw puzzle in record time and recieved a postcard for their efforts.
See you all tomorrow for another exciting day!
(P.S. If you have a spare tin of food or some dry goods such as pasta or rice in your cupboard, please send it into school tomorrow to help our Y5 children as they support our local food bank. Thank you!)
We are so proud of how well Year 4 have settled back into school following the holidays. The children have shown great enthusiasm, positivity, and a real eagerness to learn.
Today, classes took part in a very special project. Working together in small groups, they created a collaborative piece of artwork inspired by our school’s Character Traits.
The end result is something they should be incredibly proud of. Their artwork is not only colourful and creative, but also a wonderful reminder of the values that guide us each day in school.
It is safe to say that Year 4 are proud of their work — and rightly so! We are excited to see how these positive attitudes and strong teamwork skills will shine through in all of their learning this term.
Great work Year 4!
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!
I have been blown away by the calmness at settling in, the positive attitudes and the hard work already displayed. We have done so much today including: creating our classroom norms, completing a fun collaborative crew task, work around pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone, started some art work ‘all about themselves’ and supported other year groups across school. I have really enjoyed listening to other staff comment how polite and caring Crew Ambler have been today. Well done everyone!
