Thornton Primary

What a very special service we had at St. James' Church this morning led by our Year 6 children spreading a message of 'hope'. They wrote their own messages to share which really made us all think about those who might not be as lucky as we are this Christmas. @FocusTrust1

Our first concert at The Piece Hall was a huge success Thank you all so much for coming out and supporting us we really do appreciate it. The children had an absolute blast as did the adults! 🎄 Wishing all the choir the happiest Christmas, you are all amazing @FocusTrust1

This is a fantastic opportunity to be the next CEO of @FocusTrust1 as @Rowland1Helen steps aside. She will leave a thriving trust where schools work collectively to meet the needs of our learners and communities. Could you lead us in the future?

We’re recruiting our next CEO! After 11 years of outstanding leadership, our CEO is stepping aside, leaving an extraordinary legacy across our schools. Could you be the exceptional, values-driven leader to guide our thriving partnership? 👉 Apply: mynewterm.com/jobs/3112/EDV-…

We’ve arrived safe and sound @WickCourt_FFCC We have 35 excited children ready for an amazing week ahead. Huge thanks to our dedicated staff who have driven the children (and their luggage) down.

We have 40 (very excited) farmers ready for action! We’ve gone through the boot room and now we’re off on a tour of the farm … listening to all of the jobs involved.

Lots to see and do on the farm before tea time. The cows were very friendly!

Group 3: Rudheath, Shibden Head, Thornton, Thornhill and Wilsden. Everyone is exhausted at the end of a very busy but amazing day. Ms Balance and Mrs Harrison are with this group.

Up bright and early at 6:30am to tend to the animals before having our breakfast.

Easily the smelliest job on the farm. It took some brave children (with strong stomachs) to collect these eggs.

Group 3 busy with morning tasks before breakfast.

Group 2 have had a great morning. So many jobs on the farm to do…

Group 3 have groomed the horses, mucked them out and put them out in the fields.

Group 2 have been clowning out the geese 🥴🤢😷

One of the most popular activities so far… pig weighing 🐷🐽🐖

Ms Balance and Mrs Harrrison are very proud of their group who have made some amazing cookies for tomorrow’s snack 🍪🍪🍪

Apple picking to feed the pigs.

Bird watching on the farm. The children are very knowledgeable and are loving sitting quietly in the bird hide.

Mrs Rowland and Mrs Harris have arrived on the farm after a long journey down. Group 3 are pig weighing and having great fun.

Group 2 have done Bee 🐝 keeping this morning…
