Our Wonderful Reception Nativity We hope everyone who joined us for our Reception Nativity enjoyed the performance as much as we did – what a magical way to celebrate the festive season! Our Little Explorers were absolutely incredible. Over the past few weeks, they have worked so hard to learn their lines, practise their songs, and grow in confidence – and all that effort truly shone through on stage today. From angels and shepherds to stars and camels, every child played their part beautifully. Their big smiles, clear voices, and lovely singing made us all so proud – and maybe brought a few happy tears too! A huge thank you to all of the grown-ups at home for your support with costumes and rehearsals, and to our fantastic staff team for bringing it all together with such care and creativity. Well done, Reception – you've given us a performance to remember! #ReceptionNativity #LittleExplorers #ProudTeachers #ChristmasMagic #ConfidenceOnStage #ThursfieldPrimary #Nativity2025

Little Explorers Visit Sandford Car Garage! What an exciting adventure our Little Explorers had today as they walked down to visit Sandyford Car Garage – our fantastic local mechanics! The children were full of curiosity and asked so many thoughtful questions about how cars are fixed, what tools are used, and what it's like to work in a garage. They were fascinated by the cars being lifted, the different machines in the workshop, and learning about all the important jobs that keep vehicles running safely. It was a brilliant way to help them explore the world of work in a real-life setting. A huge thank you to the amazing team at Sandyford Car Garage, who were brilliant and patient hosts – answering all of the children's bursting questions with such kindness and enthusiasm. Well done, Little Explorers – you showed great listening, curiosity, and respect throughout. We're so proud of you! #LittleExplorers #SandfordGarageVisit #LearningInTheCommunity #CuriousMinds #RealLifeLearning #ReceptionAdventures #ThursfieldFamily
