It has been brilliant to listen to the children read this week. They have really settled into our routines and they are all trying so hard!
We have also had some great maths lessons where the children have shown me what they know about place value and numbers up to 100. Have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday! X x
Today in Year 6, we explored how we do Crew in XP Outdoors and thought carefully about what it means to work together as a Crew. We then designed and decorated our own wooden cookies, using colours, symbols and patterns to represent Crew and what it means to each of us. It was a fun and creative way to show how important collaboration, respect and kindness are in our learning community.
What a fantastic start to our year celebrating our first worthy winners. A huge well done to everyone! I wonder who will be our winners next week!
Yesterday, some of last years Crew Councillors went to Thorne Memorial park to see their final boards being displayed. At the end of last school year, the councillors worked with members of Thorne and Moorends Town Council to create some boards to keep the new play area safe. They enjoyed seeing it completed and helping to put them onto the gates.
I’m so proud of all of their hard work last year and I’m looking forward to working with Thorne and Moorends Council with our new Crew Councillors.
Well done to all of our amazing role models and our first lot of achievers for the first celebration of the year!
Key stage 1 will be taking part in an interactive drama workshop, which will be delivered by an organisation called ‘The Drama Hut’. It will be taking place at school on Thursday 25th September. It won’t affect any of their lunch time.
The workshop will link directly to their expedition work and will help to enhance their knowledge of The Great Fire Of London, as well as being lots of fun!Â
The cost of this workshop works out to be £6 per child. Please make the payment for this on ParentPay before Thursday 25th September.
Thanks again for your support
Mrs Shaw and the key stage 1 team.
Our fabulous new reading ambassadors met with me for the first time yesterday to work on creating some norms for our new library space!
Thank you to everyone who attended our Year 5/6 parent meeting last night. If you were unable to attend, please see the slides below as there is some important information regarding the residential, transition and applying for secondary school.
Today, Crew Gerrard learned about helping others. We then drew pictures to show how adults help us at home and in school!
Today the Year 3’s were lucky enough to have some special visitors in school. Our visitors were from Drax Power Station and taught us how to become engineers. They spoke to us about the different forces and how energy is made. We then used our knowledge to design and build our very own cars powered by pneumatic devices that we made. We had so much fun!! We definitely have some budding engineers in our year!
