Year 5/6 Food Technology – Salad Creations! During this Design & Technology block, our Year 5/6 classes explored the concept of food technology, focusing on seasonality and ingredient choices. The children designed and created their own delicious salads, carefully selecting fresh ingredients and using the bridging and claw techniques to chop their vegetables safely. Their finished salads looked amazing, and they were so proud of their creationssome even enjoyed them on the way home! Well done, everyone! Fantastic effort all around! #FoodTechnology #HealthyEating #CreativeCooking #ProudChefs #Year5Year6

A big thank you to Morgan, a former Thursfield pupil, who very kindly came in to speak to us yesterday for Autism Awareness Day. It was so lovely to see him again and hear him speak so eloquently about his experiences. Well done, Morgan – it's wonderful to see how brilliantly you're doing. You made us all very proud! #AutismAwarenessDay #ProudMoment #ThursfieldFamily #Inspiration

Our Year 3s had an amazing time on Tuesday visiting Springhead Primary to watch The Tempest! This fun and magical performance was part of the RSC's First Encounters series – a shorter, child-friendly version of Shakespeare's play, perfect for ages 7–13. The story of Prospero, a stormy island, and some serious family drama had everyone hooked! We were so proud of how well our children represented the school – they showed great enthusiasm, listened beautifully, and were a credit to us throughout the visit. A huge thanks to Springhead for being such lovely hosts, and to the brilliant team from the RSC and New Vic Theatre for such an inspiring performance. The children absolutely loved it! #TheTempest #RSC #SpringheadPrimary #ShakespeareForChildren #SchoolTripFun

Autism Awareness Day – Non-Uniform Day! Today we've celebrated Autism Awareness Day with a non-uniform day! Pupils were encouraged to wear bright colours to show support and raise awareness for autism. Let's come together to promote acceptance, understanding, and inclusion for everyone in our school community. #AutismAwareness #InclusionMatters

A Huge Thank You! Today, three amazing parents – Ash, Daz, and Sam – gave up their time to help us kick off our exciting garden project, and we couldn't be more grateful! Over the next few weeks, you'll start to see the space come to life with raised beds, plants, and lots of lovely touches. This will be a fantastic area where children can relax, explore, and learn how to grow their own fruit, veg, and flowers! A massive thank you as well to our incredible PTFA for organising and sourcing the materials – we couldn't do it without you! We're so lucky to have such a brilliant school community. Watch this space as our garden grows! #SchoolGardenProject #ThankYouHelpers #PTFARocks #GrowingTogether #OutdoorLearning #TeamThursfield #CommunitySupport #WatchUsGrow
