Our Year 2 children had a fantastic time exploring the area around school as part of their geography fieldwork. Working in small groups, they followed a map to spot different physical and human features in the environment. Along the way, they also investigated where local animals live and discussed how our actions can help – or harm – their habitats. It was a brilliant hands‑on learning experience that brought their geography and science topics to life!

Our Year 1 children enjoyed meeting Rosalind this morning and learning about road safety. They listened carefully about how to stay safe on the road. They were reminded how they need to stop, look and listen and recognise safe places to cross.

This month, Goldthorn Park is proudly taking part in Walk to School Month! We’re encouraging all children to stay active by walking to school whenever possible. To support this initiative, Year 2 have taken part in a road safety session with our school crossing patrol, helping them learn how to stay safe while walking near and crossing roads.

Reception children had a special visit from a road safety officer! They learned important tips on how to cross the road safely and practiced them with lots of enthusiasm. To make learning even more fun, the officer also taught the children a catchy road safety song, helping them remember the key rules while singing along. It was a fantastic, interactive session that combined learning with fun, helping our children stay safe on their way to and from school.

Our Year 4 pupils had an exciting and informative visit from the SPARKS team, where they learned all about fire safety and how to stay safe in everyday situations. During the session, the children discovered just how quickly a fire can spread and discussed common hazards that can be found in the home. They also learned the importance of having working smoke alarms and how these can save lives. The team didn’t just focus on fire safety—they also shared valuable advice about wa

The children had an amazing time learning all about the Sikh festival of Vaisakhi today. They took part in a special assembly led by a spiritual visitor, who showed them a range of Sikh artefacts such as the sword (kirpan) and kara, helping to deepen their understanding in a meaningful way. After this, the children enjoyed some downtime where they got creative, making Vaisakhi cards for their friends and family. It was lovely to see their thoughtful designs and messages....

Year 5 were fortunate to welcome one of our parents into school, who spoke to the children about Hinduism, sharing valuable insights and helping to deepen their understanding.

What an incredible performance Years 3 and 4 put on in their spring production of Dragon Days ! The children have worked so hard over the past weeks, and it truly showed on stage—their singing, acting, and confidence were fantastic, and the whole show wouldn’t have been out of place on a West End stage. They were absolutely amazing, and we are so proud of each and every one of them for creating such a memorable performance.

WOW - all of the children's Easter Bonnets were fabulous and we really appreciate your effort and time when creating them. What a wonderful memory for the children to have their very own parade to show off their beautiful creations. The children were beaming and wanted to wear their bonnets all day.

Goldthorn Park hosted our first ever Career’s Fair for our Year 5 and 6 children. We had guests who represented different jobs and careers in school, to help our children understand how school skills connect to real life and to build curiosity and confidence about their future. We had members of the police and fire service, a make up artist, caterers, a salesperson, an NHS worker, a RSPCA officer, and a worker from the charity sector.

Year one walked to our local library to promote our love for reading. We met the librarian and she gave us a tour of the library and shared some stories with us. We joined in with the actions and made a mask based on the 'Super Wolf' story. We can't wait to use our new library memberships to borrow books with our families! Well done year one, we were really impressed with your manners - you represented Goldthorn Park beautifully.
