** For children and parents/guardians of Thornley Academy **

Hi everyone, I'm excited for our second 'Hope Grows' next week at Thornley Academy!

Last month, we had a go a building a house out of Jenga blocks, as we learnt about building our lives on the solid and sure hope that we are loved by God.

Next Tuesday, we're going fishing! There will be a craft, a game, and a Bible story - all in 30 mins. As for what the story is... you'll have to come to find out!

This is open to all children and parents/guardians of Thornley Academy - hope to see you there!

🤔What could an old ID, a mirror, an old picture frame and some rope possibly have to do with Jesus and me?! 🤔

Work is continuing on our rear garden space, thanks to a dedicated few.

The plan is to have raised beds, where our young people can plant and sow, and a little memorial space to mark the memory of a loved one.

We'll keep you posted as we progress!

If you might want to get involved, pop on in.

Last Thursday, the New Thornley Banner Group and Thornley Academy worked with us to create a space in the House for the children to learn a little about Thornley's mining history - which included a mine, a pit entrance, a wall-to-wall projection of miners in the pits, and various puzzles and facts.

We hosted the whole school, class by class - and it was wonderful and moving to see the children learn something of the village's history. They were able to hold lamps, attempt to retrieve coal as a team, and even each had a tag to hand in as they entered the 'mine'. And yep, we had a canary too!

We'd love to do something in the future involving the whole village, with a chance to share your own stories. Watch this space...

A huge thanks to everyone who made the day so special.
