Class 3 and 4 Family Assembly
Class 4 Reception pupils all took part in an Arctic Animals Assembly linked to their topic during Family assembly. The children worked very hard to write and perform their own version of the story Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? They were able to use their previous learning to create some wonderful arctic characters and a range of verbs within. They ended their performance singing beautifully the song, ‘Three Little Penguins.’
Class 3 children then performed their dance routine to Bruno Mars, Uptown Funk. This is a routine that they created themselves and worked very well individually, in pairs and in small groups. They can’t wait to take part in the dance festival next week with our cluster primary schools!

Thornley Woods – Tree Planting
Class 1 have been working with the Woodland Trust to complete some tree planting in Thornily. This is to help create a new and more diverse habitat for the local wildlife. We worked with the Woodland Trust learning about different birds and their food systems and how this important within the local habitat. Then following this we joined the Woodland Trust and a governor to plant some trees; these were a variety of oak, birch and hazel.

It was time for our regular sports update which was presented by the year 6 children. Sainsbury’s School games events were celebrated from the Autumn Term and certificates handed out. In addition to this the children gave an update about the swimming progress as well as clubs which will be running in the Spring Term. Then we had a special announcement about the recent Bike Ability course which the year 5 and 6 children were given the chance to attend.
Congratulations to all and we are looking forward to taking part in a new set of School Games events during the Spring Term.

Our football team enjoyed their matches in the 2015-2016 year. They played in the central venue league at Parkside Academy in Willington on the astroturf. Thanks to all parents who came to support us. It is a tough league with some very experienced teams from local schools. There were 7 teams in the league and the children played each team twice resulting in 12 matches over the year. The children improved drastically throughout the year and managed to win one match and draw two after some initial defeats.
Happily the football team have continued to train for the new season and started on Friday 23 September so if anyone would like to come to training please come and get a club letter and join us. They will continue to train on a Friday night after school and the matches will start on Wednesday 9th November. This year we are in a league with 8 teams which means there will be 14 matches to play. Anyone who comes to training will be considered to play for the football team.
Basketball Competition
Year 5 and 6 children went to Bishop Barrington School on Friday 27th May to take part in a Basketball festival. Basketball is a very strenuous game and the children worked exceptionally hard to practice and improve their skills. Unfortunately the rules were changed on the day of the competition and they suddenly had to play full court basketball rather than half court basketball ( which is what they had been told they would play on) This didn’t deter them and they focused from the first whistle and the team of 8 players rotated to play 4 a side basketball. After some tense matches the team triumphed and achieved 3rd place and some bronze medals. Well done to everyone who played!
