Well Done to Our Year 3/4 Dodgeball Team! A huge well done to our amazing Year 3/4 Dodgeball Team, who represented Thursfield brilliantly at their competition this week! The team showed fantastic teamwork, quick reactions, and brilliant sportsmanship throughout every match. They dodged, dived, and threw with determination – and all that effort paid off! We're so proud to say they finished 2nd overall – an incredible achievement! You played with confidence, cheered each other on, and gave it your all. A big well done, Team Thursfield – you've made us super proud! #TeamThursfield #DodgeballStars #Year34Sports #ProudMoment #SilverSuccess #GreatTeamwork #SportsmanshipMatters #WellDoneTeam

Farewell to Two Wonderful Members of Our Thursfield Family This week, we say a heartfelt goodbye to Mrs Donna Brunt, who has been an absolute star in the Thursfield office for the past four years. Donna has supported parents, staff and pupils with her kindness, calm presence and ever-ready smile. She will be truly missed by us all. As she takes her "ticket to anywhere" and begins a new adventure in her next job, we send her all our love, gratitude and very best wishes for the future. We also say a warm farewell to Karen Steppe, who has been a much-loved member of our kitchen team for an incredible 15 years. Karen is leaving to spend more time with her family, and while we're sad to see her go, we're so grateful for everything she has done for our school. From helping at prom, to cooking booster breakfasts, to preparing Special Person meals, Karen has always gone above and beyond. Thank you, Karen, for your dedication, kindness and hard work. You'll always be part of the Thursfield family. Please join us in wishing both Donna and Karen the very best in their next chapters! #ThursfieldProud #SchoolFamily #ThankYouDonna #ThankYouKaren #Farewell #BestWishes #CommunitySpirit #ThursfieldPrimary
