🧸 Pupils in Year 1 had a very exciting visit to the Ancient Museum recently. As part of their topic about Toys, they spent time investigating a range of old and new toys. They also learnt to play traditional parlour games, street games and they all made a thaumatrope to bring back to school!

🦸‍♀️ 🦸‍♂️ EYFS Had a wonderful morning this morning, welcoming their family members into the classroom to share in activities and see what they have been up to over the term! We made superhero capes, super-veg and super potions!

🚑 Y8 Pre DofE Club – Paramedic Visit! 👏 Our Year 8 Pre Duke of Edinburgh group recently had an exciting and inspiring visit from Mr Hammond, a paramedic from the East of England Ambulance Trust. As part of their volunteering section, they've been learning first aid skills and what to do if they're first on the scene of an accident. Mr Hammond generously gave up his time to show the group some of the kit used in real emergencies, answer lots of questions, and even gave the class a tour of the ambulance! They were amazed by how heavy the equipment was and learned so much about the incredible work paramedics do every day. A huge thank you to Mr Hammond for visiting, and well done to all the Y8 students who took part – your enthusiasm and great questions made the school proud! 🙌💚 #DofE #FirstAid #EastOfEnglandAmbulance #Y8 #LearningForLife #Teamwork #ThankYou

In Design and Technology, Year 8 have been developing skills using sewing machines and hand stitching to create a Marvellous Monster. The stuffed toys have been manufactured from repurposed textiles, creating a pattern and learning how to sew the pieces together. Year 8 have used appliqué to add features to the toys and should be very proud of the finished product.

☀️That’s a wrap on our Prep Summer residential 2025. We’ve had an absolute blast! Many happy memories made that we will treasure forever. Well done Prep school, you did us all proud! 🏆

VE Day Celebrations at TGS! Today we marked VE Day with a fantastic day of celebration and remembrance at Thetford Grammar School. We kicked things off with a special Proclamation and Flag Raising Ceremony, where we took a moment to reflect on the importance of this day and remember those who served during World War Two. Then it was time for our Street Party Lunch! The bunting was up, the 1940s music was playing, and everyone enjoyed themselves in true wartime spirit. To top it all off, we had a display of World War Two memorabilia—from uniforms to artefacts—which really brought history to life. Huge thanks to everyone who shared these incredible items with us! It was a brilliant day full of learning, reflection, and community spirit. #VEDay #TGSPride #HistoryInAction #WW2Remembered #StreetParty

After a great night's sleep our Prep pupils have been busy rotating around activities including tree climbing, kayaking, biking and zip lining. We have some real thrill seekers amongst our teams here! Well done to our brave champs that jumped in the river for a post-kayak cool down.
