🌳 EYFS had a great day out at High Lodge this week. Reception have been learning all about 'Woodland Wonders' and had fun hunting for clues to let them know what animals had been in the forest. Nursery were busy looking for different animals that might live in the forest habitat. Everyone had a great time at the various play parks and we even found the Gruffalo! 🌳

📚 Year 7 have been working hard on their two-week story writing project for young children. They looked at the 'ingredients' for a picture book and alongside this, interviewed our EYFS pupils regarding their favourite books and reading preferences. Using pupil responses, the Year 7 classes created personalised stories featuring rhyme, repetition and morals. They realised they needed to think very carefully regarding their story structure and word choices. The books were completed to coincide with our various World Book Day events and the resulting story session was a wonderful celebration demonstrating how we promote reading for pleasure at TGS. 📚

🌳 Last week, EYFS listened to the story ‘Stick Man’ before heading off to Forest School to find 5 different sized sticks to represent Stick Man and his family. They helped each other to compare different sizes of sticks before putting them into size order. Lots of exploration and fun was had along the way! 🌳

🌳 Our Prep School Councillors have been involved with yet another outreach project within the local community. As part of the Million Trees for Norfolk Project, they worked with the Norfolk Education Officer and Councillor Jermy to plant cherry blossom trees at London Road Cemetery in Thetford. 🌳 As well as the project helping to create a scenic community space, the trees will provide welcome habitats for wildlife and insects. The Prep councillors learnt about how the trees would support the environment and especially enjoyed making fat balls for the birds. It was muddy work planting the trees but that just made it all the more fun! Well done to our Prep school councillors for yet again being model representatives of the school. As always, we are so proud of your commitment and enthusiasm. 🌳 Thank you Thetford Town Council
