Well done to Arnie who has written, illustrated and self-published his very own book ‘Trillionaire Boy’. Such a super read and clearly lot of time and effort spent-super Craftsmanship & Quality!
Y4-A visit from Drax
Year 4 were very lucky to receive a visit from Nicki and Vicky from Drax who provided an afternoon of scientific learning! We had so much fun understanding forces and their effects, as well as making our own balloon powered cars!

Our day of music and creativity!
We’ve had a wonderfully creative day in Reception, filled with arts and crafts that helped us practise our scissor skills and develop our fine motor control. The children really enjoyed getting hands-on with different materials and showing off their creativity. We also had lots of fun on our green top stage, where the children explored musical instruments, played along to familiar tunes, and expressed themselves through dancing and singing to some of their favourite current songs. It’s been a joyful day full of music, movement, and creativity!
Class 4 are Mathematicians
This week in Reception, we’ve been busy being brilliant mathematicians, exploring the exciting world of positional language. The children worked incredibly hard to demonstrate their understanding using the outdoor equipment, confidently using words like under, on top, in between, and inside to describe where objects and people were placed. They then put their learning into action by giving clear instructions to their friends, helping them move and position themselves using this new vocabulary. We finished the day with a fun and energetic game of Simon Says, which was a fantastic way to consolidate all the great learning from the week. Well done, Reception!
Class 7 – Box Houses!
Today, Class 7 have been learning about the houses that were built during the 1600s. We learned about how the Great Fire of London started and how the fire brigade has changed since this time!
We then started creating our own box model houses that will then make up our very own London!
Class 8 brilliant week
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
XP Outdoors – Year 6 How we do Crew in XP Outdoors
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.
Year 5/6 Community Crew Meeting
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!
Crew Council Celebration!
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.
