Congratulations to these lucky children who won on our Summer Celebration stalls last Friday! A lovely morning of presenting prizes

At TPS when a child completes 5 or more home reads in a week (and records them in their reading diary!), they receive a reading raffle ticket with their name on it. They can then post this ticket into a jar of their choice, in an attempt to win a book! The names are then drawn out of the jars in assembly. Congratulations to these Reading Raffle winners today, and keep up the good reading!

Thrapston Primary School's Summer Celebration 2024! This year was our second year of throwing our end of year summer celebration event - and what an amazing celebration it was! The sun shone (a lot!) and we were so pleased to see so many families enjoying themselves together. We had a variety of classic stalls ranging from 'Name the Teddy' to 'Guess the number of sweets in the jar' to a penalty shootout. There was a selection of children's writing and artwork on display for parents to view, and performances on the stage to enjoy. Performances included Samba drumming, Makaton singing, a Roman chant, a range of dances, a brass instrument recital and a closing performance by our wonderful choir. We'd like to say a huge thank you to the local businesses who also joined us on the day: Berry's, The Maker Mums UK, Bakeworks Co., The Square Choux, Melts & more by Emma, King Bounce Alot LTD and AM Ices ice cream van and Pecorella Whip. We made a total profit of £980.82 which we are absolutely over the moon with. Thank you to everyone who supported our school and thank you to the staff who worked so hard to put the day together!

We currently have a vacancy for a cleaner at TPS and the closing date for applications is on Monday. If you are interested please head to the website to apply. Thank you! https://www.thrapston-primary.northants.sch.uk/page/?title=Vacancies&pid=128

We are so excited for our Summer Celebration this afternoon! This is just one of the amazing businesses that will be there today

Our Year 2 Squirrel and Badger Classes were our joint KS1 winners of the National Sports Week competition, and today they also received their prize! The children enjoyed an hour of fun on a gigantic bouncy castle slide and a bouncy castle obstacle course, followed by ice lollies and ice creams! Great fun was had by all. Well done Squirrels and Badgers!

Two weeks ago TPS took part in National Sports Week, where all of the classes went head-to-head in a competition to win the most points from a range of sporting activities! The children took part in a basketball shoot out, a mile run, a skipping competition, a street dance workshop, and a curling competition! We'd like to say a huge congratulations to Banksy Class who were the KS2 winners! Today they received their prize - a pool party at The Nene Centre, followed by ice lollies and ice creams! Well done Banksy!

Wow! What an absolutely incredible day Year 5 have had at the Oundle School STEM Festival. We cannot express how proud we are of the children - they conducted themselves so well around the school, they were polite to adults and they showed enthusiasm and effort in all of the sessions we attended. They asked insightful questions and shared some impressive knowledge too! We attended 5 sessions in total: 1. The dissection of a sheep's heart 2. Programming robots 3. Being immersed inside a planetarium 4. A VR experience in Space 5. Making cloud chambers Well done to our Year 5 pupils for embracing all of the experiences today and representing our school so well!

We have some exciting opportunities to join our growing team at Thrapston Primary School! Please head to the website to read more about each role and apply! https://www.thrapston-primary.northants.sch.uk/page/?title=Vacancies&pid=128

Summer has arrived! Please remember to put plenty of suncream on your child before school, have them wear a (named) sun hat and bring a (named!) water bottle to school! Thank you!
