Happy Teaching Assistant Day! 💛

Today we’re celebrating Alison, Jane and Katie, who do so much for the children at Threlkeld.

Alison is the eyes and ears of our school. She notices when a child needs a little extra care, checks in with them and helps them feel ready to learn. She supports, encourages and looks after our pupils every day. She truly is the heart and soul of our school.

Jane sees the children who need that little bit extra and believes in what they can do. Her time, care and encouragement help them grow in confidence and achieve things they might not have thought possible.

Katie brings fun and laughter to school life. She is friendly, firm and always looking for opportunities to make our school an even better place for everyone.

Thank you, Alison, Jane and Katie. Our children are so fortunate to have you, and we appreciate everything you do. 🌟

We have been reading The Most Magnificent Thing and talking about what happens when an idea doesn’t work out straight away. The story has helped us think about trying again, changing our plans and taking pride in what we create. 🌟

Inspired by the book, our Nursery and Reception children had a go at making their own models. They shared ideas, solved problems and kept going when things got tricky. The results are rather spectacular! We are so proud of their imagination and determination. 💙

A huge well done to our three Learners of the Week! 🌟

Since returning to school, they have made positive strides, shown great attitudes to learning and worked brilliantly as a team. These are the qualities we strive for as Threlkeld learners, and we are so proud of the example they are setting.

Well done, all three of you! 💙

Our adults have been learning too! This week, staff completed online first aid learning and took part in the first of two practical training sessions.

Keeping our knowledge and skills up to date helps us care for children and adults across our school community. We’re looking forward to completing the second session. 💙

All aboard! 🚂

Building on yesterday’s adventures, the children used crates and plenty of imagination to construct their own train outside. It set off from Penrith to Threlkeld along the old railway line, with passengers checking the timetable and showing their tickets before boarding.

There was an unexpected delay when the engine developed a problem, but the children called in the mechanics and soon had it running again!

It was lovely to see their ideas grow as they worked together, solved problems and brought the journey to life. 🚆

Welcome to Blencathra’s Best Restaurant! ☕🍽️

The children transformed our outdoor learning area into their very own café. They created menus and price lists, took orders and wrote lists so they could telephone orders through to the kitchen. Customers used money to pay for their food, and the children even wrote pretend TripAdvisor reviews afterwards!

There was so much learning in their play: purposeful writing, counting money, speaking and listening, and working together to keep a busy restaurant running. The verdict from our young reviewers? Blencathra’s Best is, of course, the best restaurant in town! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Meet our new School Council! 🗳️

The children who wanted to represent their classmates wrote letters of application, prepared speeches and spoke to their classes about their ideas. Each class then voted for the pupils they wanted to represent them.

It was wonderful to see democracy in action, with the children making their choices and having a say in who will speak for them. Please join us in congratulating our new Head Boy, Head Girl and all our School Council representatives. We are very proud of them already and look forward to hearing their ideas! 🌟

Why do we have darkness? 🌍🔦

Our EYFS children climbed into the den to explore what happens when light is blocked out. They talked about darkness as the absence of light, then used a globe to find where we live and see how the Earth turns on its axis. We explored how the side facing the Sun has daytime, while the side turned away has night.

The children loved investigating light and dark, asking questions and pondering their ideas like real scientists! ✨

Our EYFS children became railway engineers! 🚂

First, they drew a map of the train track they wanted to build. Tommy then used the map to give his friends instructions, helping them place the pieces and construct their track. It was wonderful to see their early geography and mapping skills in action as they turned a plan into something they could play with.

The children used positional language to put the trains in order and guide them to the correct stations. They even made and sold tickets to their visitors, bringing writing, counting and imaginative play into their railway adventure! 🎟️

At the end of the session, Tommy adapted his plan as they made a few improvements. It was great design and engineering work as well as great teamwork and collaboration.
