We had a very exciting delivery after school today, thanks to Mrs O'Reilly's dad and his friend! They kindly brought over some tree logs that had been sitting unused on a farm. These logs will now be repurposed as seating around the fire pit in our Forest School area. We are currently in the process of organising fencing to be installed around the forest, and the next big step will be to dig and line the fire pit in the centre of the main clearing. There's lots happening behind the scenes as we continue to develop our TPS Forest School - it's all starting to take shape!

Year 2 travelled back in time to the Victorian era for an incredible day at Holdenby House! They met Mrs Bumbridge, the housekeeper & her staff who soon put them to work. The children were given various job roles such as bell boy, boot boy, laundry maid, valet & kitchen maid. All of the chores were completed as they prepared themselves to meet Her Ladyship. Some of the drudges (the adults) were not up to Mrs Bumbridge's high standards! The children recited the house prayer & entertained Her Ladyship with our excellent rendition of the poem; The Owl & the Pussy-Cat. Much to the children's surprise, Her Ladyship turned out to be our very own Mrs Powell! The children represented TPS beautifully & all of the adults were very proud of them. A great day was had by all!

We are calling for some help from our lovely school community for the next stage of our forest school project here at TPS. We would like to erect a fence around our trees to protect them and to also create a safe, contained area for the children to explore freely during their forest school sessions. We are looking for recommendations of anyone who would be able to provide fencing for us similar to the photos provided. Many thanks in advance for your help!

We are launching a Daily Mile 'Fit for Life' summer challenge at Thrapston Primary School! Over the next two summer terms, we would like as many children as possible to take part in the Daily Mile and move their bodies a mile each day! This mile can be walked or ran, and can be completed either at school or at home. The children will be able to tick off each day they have completed in their booklets, and at the end of each week they can get a signature from either a parent or a teacher. For each week completed, the children will be able to claim both a House Point and a Dojo Point! Further information is inside the booklets, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing as many children as possible being active each day and working towards a shared goal of earning points for their House! Thank you in advance for your support with this challenge!

We hope all of our children and families have had a wonderful Easter break. We are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow morning for the start of a brand new term!

We'd like to say a big well done to these brilliant members of staff in our Nest unit provision who completed a 5k fun run on Saturday to raise money for The National Autistic Society!
