What a festive week we’ve had at TGS. From carols at a local care home to our annual trip to the Panto. Our Prep School have been busy with their Christmas Production and the Senior School performed Play in a Day! Friday we had our Prep and Senior School Christmas Services, with the School Choirs and Staff Brass Band. A special thank you to our special guests including members of our Advisory Board, members of the OTA, the Mayor of Thetford and the Reverend Peter Herbert. A big thank you to Jack and his team for also providing us with a delicious Christmas Lunch! Watch this space next term as we share photos from these events. On behalf of everyone at Thetford Grammar School we would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing what next term brings! 🎄

Year 5 recently spent a day at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, experiencing what life was like for children 150 years ago. We spent some time practising our handwriting in a Victorian classroom before quickly being put to work on the farm. We were set to work picking up rocks from the field to protect the horse’s hooves, it was backbreaking work but surprisingly fun ... for 5 minutes before we got tired! Then we were sent to help Martha with the laundry and learnt how the Victorians washed their clothes. We worked really hard all day, so we were rewarded with some freshly cooked drop scones, they were surprisingly tasty and Mrs Clackett complemented us all on our manners and behaviour throughout the day. Our day at Gressenhall really helped us to picture what life was like for Victorian children and brought our topic to life.
