Farewell to Two Wonderful Members of Our Thursfield Family This week, we say a heartfelt goodbye to Mrs Donna Brunt, who has been an absolute star in the Thursfield office for the past four years. Donna has supported parents, staff and pupils with her kindness, calm presence and ever-ready smile. She will be truly missed by us all. As she takes her "ticket to anywhere" and begins a new adventure in her next job, we send her all our love, gratitude and very best wishes for the future. We also say a warm farewell to Karen Steppe, who has been a much-loved member of our kitchen team for an incredible 15 years. Karen is leaving to spend more time with her family, and while we're sad to see her go, we're so grateful for everything she has done for our school. From helping at prom, to cooking booster breakfasts, to preparing Special Person meals, Karen has always gone above and beyond. Thank you, Karen, for your dedication, kindness and hard work. You'll always be part of the Thursfield family. Please join us in wishing both Donna and Karen the very best in their next chapters! #ThursfieldProud #SchoolFamily #ThankYouDonna #ThankYouKaren #Farewell #BestWishes #CommunitySpirit #ThursfieldPrimary

Our Little Explorers at Apple Tree Town! What an amazing day we had yesterday at Apple Tree Town! Our Little Explorers had so much fun becoming hairdressers, builders, supermarket workers, postal workers and more! They loved dressing up, using real equipment, and working together to run the mini town. It was so lovely to see their imagination, teamwork, and big smiles all day long! We are super proud of how well they listened, shared, and joined in with everything. You were all superstars on your first big trip out! Well done, Little Explorers – we had the best day ever! #LittleExplorers #AppleTreeTown #BigSmiles #LearningIsFun #ReceptionTrip #RolePlayAdventures #ProudTeachers #ThursfieldPrimary

Nursery's Woodland Discovery! Yesterday our nursery children had a wonderful adventure exploring our Forest School area. We've been looking at The Gruffalo, so the children were very excited to search for the characters and retell the story as they wandered through the woods. During their exploration, they made an exciting discovery a fallen tree that had come down during last week's storm! This sparked lots of curiosity and conversation as the children investigated, asked questions, and talked about how storms can change the environment around us. It was a fantastic afternoon full of imagination, storytelling, and natural discovery. Well done, Nursery! #NurseryLife #ForestSchool #OutdoorLearning #EarlyYears #GruffaloAdventure #StorytellingInNature #EYFS #LittleExplorers #WellWalk #LearningThroughPlay #NatureDiscovery #StormyWeather #CuriousMinds

Amazing Results for Our Year 5/6 Football Team! What a fantastic evening of football for our Year 5/6 team last night! The players gave it their all on the pitch, showing brilliant teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout every game. There were some incredible goals, rock-solid defending, and fantastic saves – it was clear how much effort and passion each player brought to the team. We are so proud of how they represented Thursfield – not just with their results, but with their attitude, respect for others, and support for one another. A big well done to all the players – your hard work in training is really paying off! We can't wait to see what you achieve next. #TeamThursfield #Year56Football #ProudMoments #AmazingResults #Teamwork #Determination #FutureFootballStars #SportsmanshipMatters
