Class 8 Thorne landmarks
Class 8 have been exploring lots of landmarks in Thorne by tracing them and adding details of the features. We can’t wait to use maps and find some of these places in our Summer expedition.
Also, a big shout out to Tilly and Mckenzie for doing some great maths work today on capacity! Well done!
Crew Knowles – Hook Week
Yesterday we were introduced to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which is going to be one of our anchor texts this term. The children followed along with the illustrator Quentin Blake to draw some great Willy Wonkas!
We’re looking for Cleaners and a Cleaner in Charge at XP Doncaster!
Year 6 – Crucial Crew
Y6 visited the Lifewise Centre today to participate in the Crucial Crew programme. The Lifewise Centre provides the children with essential knowledge and skills to be able to keep safe in the local community.
Some of the different scenarios included road safety, transport safety, fire safety and a mock trial in a Magistrates’ Court! All of the scenarios are taught by volunteering experts from South Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue and the South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership.
The children participated in all of the scenarios showing real maturity and thoughtfulness. Check out the slide show below.
Class 8 Summer term hook fun
Class 8 have had such a busy but fantastic first day back at school. We have played some crew games, done a quiz on Doncaster, had Geoff, our ICT expert in to school to talk about drones and show them aerial photographs of Thorne and the children have matched photographs of some adults in school with their baby photos to look at how they have changed over time.
Hope the children aren’t too tired…see you all tomorrow

Playground Leader Reminder (KS2)
Just a reminder about the option to apply for a playground leader role!
To help make break times even better we are asking for the children to volunteer to be a playground leader (in KS2). This will include a vote.
If this role is something that you are interested in, create a poster that shows:
- Why you would be a great playground leader?
- How can you help adults at break time?
- What ideas you have for playtime games?
- What character traits you will show with this
- Are you confident to lead other children?
If you wanted to do a bit of Easter homework (no pressure) then you can create the poster, as mentioned above.
The deadline for this (sent to class teachers) will be Wednesday 17th April.
