Year 5/6 Cross Country – First Race at Thursfield! What an amazing afternoon of determination, teamwork, and sheer grit as our Year 5 and 6 pupils took on their first cross country race right here at Thursfield! Each race saw 35 runners per category, and our pupils gave it their all – running 2 and a half laps of the school field. Everyone showed such resilience and drive to cross that finish line – we couldn't be prouder! Standout results: Girls Team – incredible performances all round, securing 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place! Boys Team – absolutely smashed it, coming in 1st, 2nd, and 4th place! Both teams were amazing, and the staff who stayed to support were truly in awe of their effort, attitude, and sportsmanship. Well done, Team Thursfield – you've set the bar high, and we can't wait to see what you do next week at Springhead Primary! #TeamThursfield #CrossCountryChampions #ProudMoments #Determination #Sportsmanship #NextStopSpringhead

Year 5 Visit Sandyford Fire Station! Year 5 had a fantastic morning at Sandyford Fire Station, taking part in lots of exciting and interactive activities! They learned all about fire safety, including how to spot hazards in the home, and even had the chance to explore a real fire engine – sirens and all! Well done to all of our Year 5 pupils for your brilliant behaviour and enthusiasm throughout the visit. You represented Thursfield beautifully – we're so proud of you! #Year5Trip #FireSafety #SandyfordFireStation #LearningInAction #ThursfieldPrimary

TT Rockstars Launch Day! What a fabulous day we're having here at Thursfield – TT Rockstars has officially taken over! We kicked things off with a high-energy launch assembly from our brilliant Maths Coordinator, Mrs Tapp, and the excitement hasn't stopped since! The school is buzzing with fun maths lessons, epic times tables battles, and plenty of rockstar challenges happening in every classroom! And let's talk about those outfits – our children (and staff!) look AMAZING in their rockstar costumes. From funky wigs to leather jackets and glittery guitars, the Thursfield spirit is well and truly rocking today! TT Rockstars is now in full swing – let the battles begin! #TTRockstars #MathsIsFun #TimesTableLegends #RockstarVibes #ThursfieldPrimary #WeAreMathsStars

Our Digging Zone is Ready – Now We Need Your Help! We're thrilled to share that our brand-new digging area on the school field is now complete, ready to be enjoyed as part of our OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) lunchtime sessions! To make sure every child can get stuck in and enjoy the space, we're now on the lookout for children's digging equipment spades, trowels, rakes, buckets, plus toy diggers and tractors to add to the fun! With so many excited children ready to explore, we'll need plenty of tools and toys to go around. If you have any spare children's gardening tools, toy diggers, or tractors at home, or would be happy to donate a set to the school, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation will help give the children even more opportunities for imaginative and active outdoor play. Please drop off donations at the school office or message us for more info. Thank you so much for your support! #OPALplay #DiggingZone #OutdoorLearning #PlayMatters
