Trailblazers were visited (virtually) by the author of their class book: The Perfect Parent Project, Stewart Foster.
The children asked great questions and even met Dexter the dog. We can't wait to see what happens at the end of the book now.
Tickets please! The Bluebell Railway pulled into Blackthorns station today for a virtual visit with Warriors Class! Thank you so much @bluebellrailway , it was brilliant and we learnt lots!

A huge thank you to @waitrose! Our thoughtful store in Haywards Heath sent a wonderful bag full of goodies to school for staff who are working hard to keep Blackthorns open for critical workers' children. A lovely surprise!

Trailblazers were very privileged to be visited by Claire Nichols, ex Blackthorns pupil yesterday. It was fascinating to hear about her life working in the field in Greenland, researching the world's oldest rocks and discovering how the planet works. Inspirational.
