🎉 Exciting Adventures for Years 1 and 2! 🏰🕰️ Pupils in Years 1 and 2 had an incredible experience thanks to the generous support of Thetford Educational Foundation Trust, who fully funded two unforgettable days out! ✨ Year 2 pupils explored the newly opened Castle Keep in Norwich, learned about the historical significance of Thetford Castle, and enjoyed a fascinating visit to the Ancient House Museum. The children had an amazing time discovering what life was like in the past through engaging workshops and hands-on learning. A huge thank you to everyone who made these enriching experiences possible!

🏉 Tag Rugby Matches 🏉 This week, pupils from Year 4, 5 and 6 took part in exciting Tag Rugby matches against our neighbours at Redcastle School. The first match was a thrilling end-to-end game, with a 5-5 score at half time. Redcastle pulled ahead in the second half, winning 8-6. Jack led the team as Captain, with Tobi scoring all of TGS’s tries and Hugo putting in a strong defensive performance. In the second match, Redcastle were the stronger team, resulting in a 7-2 loss for TGS. Tom captained the side, and Oscar scored both tries. 👏 Players of the Match: Tobi and Hugo – well done to both for their outstanding efforts! We’re proud of all the players for their enthusiasm and sportsmanship!

🌿📚 Library Adventures with Years 1 and 2! 📚🌿 When Years 1 and 2 arrived at the library, we were warmly welcomed by Liz, who works there. The theme of our visit was gardens and plants, and Liz read us a beautiful story all about them. The illustrations were stunning and the story was exciting! After the story, we played a fun game of Pairs — it was a bit tricky, but we loved the challenge! 🎴 Then came the crafting session, where we made colourful flowers. It was brilliant to use so many different colours and get creative! 🌸🎨 Liz kindly let us borrow two books each — one linked to our theme and one of our own choosing. She helped us all sign them out like real library members. 📖✨ Our visit was amazing and brilliant, and we finished it off with a lovely walk back to school. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Thank you, Liz, and thank you to the library for such a wonderful experience!
