Little Explorers Visit Sandford Car Garage! What an exciting adventure our Little Explorers had today as they walked down to visit Sandyford Car Garage – our fantastic local mechanics! The children were full of curiosity and asked so many thoughtful questions about how cars are fixed, what tools are used, and what it's like to work in a garage. They were fascinated by the cars being lifted, the different machines in the workshop, and learning about all the important jobs that keep vehicles running safely. It was a brilliant way to help them explore the world of work in a real-life setting. A huge thank you to the amazing team at Sandyford Car Garage, who were brilliant and patient hosts – answering all of the children's bursting questions with such kindness and enthusiasm. Well done, Little Explorers – you showed great listening, curiosity, and respect throughout. We're so proud of you! #LittleExplorers #SandfordGarageVisit #LearningInTheCommunity #CuriousMinds #RealLifeLearning #ReceptionAdventures #ThursfieldFamily

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 Trust Dodgeball competition this week at Manor Hill Primary. 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
