This morning, the children in KS1 were granted a meeting with Susan Durant our local Mayor where they found out all about her fantastic work in the community as well as the work of the local food bank. The children asked lots of questions about Susan’s work and experiences and were able to share the fabulous community work they have been getting up to these last two weeks. Susan was super impressed with the children and enjoyed her visit so much, including sharing a tasty lunch in our lunch hall. Thank you so much for visiting, Susan – we look forward to working with you again soon!

This afternoon, Class 7 have been helping local shoppers to pack their bags and the store staff to clear and tidy the shelves. Well done boys and girls – you are all superstar heroes! One little job for Class 7, an afternoon of smiles for the shoppers of Thorne 🙂
Today, as part of Hook Week, the children have been having fun making catapults out of lollipop sticks. We then had a competition to see who could fire them the furthest, with Natalia and Katie’s catapult winning!
This morning, we spent some time exploring different books that we wouldn’t normally read. We also shared our favourite books to give good recommendations to others!
Esmae did a beautiful job of reading a story to our class today as part of National Read a Book Day! Thank you Esmae!
We’ve had great fun today creating catapults to replicate the ones which the Romans used during battle!
I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of everyone in class 6 today as they performed a small act of kindness in our community by helping to pack shopping bags in our local Sainsbury’s store. The children walked sensibly in the beautiful late summer sunshine through Thorne, pointing out items of rubbish that could be recycled as they went. They were super polite to the shoppers who asked them to explain the reason they were there and the resounding answer was ‘TO BE KIND AND HELPFUL!’
A massive thank-you to all the parents who turned up to shop so the children had something to pack and to the wonderful staff at Sainsbury’s for allowing us to experience first-hand how lovely it feels to be able to help others when we can.
This afternoon, the children were able to take part in the Roman Olympics! We got to do some fun activities including Roman hurdles, bean bag shot put, chariot (wheelbarrow) racing and marathon running around the 3G pitch!
