Engineering club representatives

We are incredibly proud to share that three of our talented pupils represented our Engineering Club at the recent Celebration Event in Snaith — and they absolutely blew everyone away with their creativity, teamwork, and technical skills!

As part of the challenge, the children were tasked with testing their engineering builds for both load-bearing strength and their ability to move in a straight line. But the event didn’t stop there — they were also put to the test in a live interview with two employees from Siemens Rail, where they confidently explained their design choices and the reasoning behind their builds.

What happened next was nothing short of amazing…

The judges were so impressed by our pupils’ work — especially the addition of coding in their designs — that they awarded them the top grade, a level never awarded before!

Not only that, but our team secured both 1st and 2nd place, receiving their prizes from none other than Mark Speed, Manager at Siemens Rail in Goole.

Class 9 | Magna Visit!

We had a fantastic day at Magna today! We got the chance to explore the building and experience its fire, water, air and earth exhibitions as well as completing a hands-on workshop all about rocks and volcanoes. We also got to experience ‘The Big Melt,’ which showcased the start up of the furnace at the old steelworks, as well as finishing off the day on the brilliant outdoor play park!

Remembrance Day

Year 3 learnt all about Remembrance Day and drew beautiful poppies and sang a song about Flanders Field in an ensemble. Here are all of their drawings accompanied by their wonderful singing. Well done Year 3, so proud of you!

Y3 & Y4 – Back to Learning with a Bang!

What a busy and exciting couple of days back in school for Year 3 and 4, where we have engaged with lots of valuable input from experts about our expedition topic – war and how it changes lives.

On Monday, we enjoyed a very informative zoom call with two wartime experts who talked us through the lives of children in WW2, as well as guiding us through the work done by women as part of the ‘home-front’.

Then today, we have enjoyed another visit by the Victoria Cross Trust:

Mick, who worked with us back at the start of our expedition, revisited us to share more information about the Victoria Cross medal and some of its recipients from Doncaster, in particular: Thomas Harper VC, Thomas Bryan VC and George Wyatt VC who we are writing biographies about to include in our final product.

And, Keith guided each class through Thorne Cemetery to identify and research the Common Wealth graves located there. We were fascinated by the soldiers that we learnt about and the visit really helped to highlight the importance of the upcoming Remembrance Day and how important it is to remember those who fought – and still do so – for our country. We will remember them!

To end our fantastic day, Keith presented us with some beautiful commemorative slate plaques which show each of the VC Soldiers that we are learning about and the act of bravery which led to them receiving their most prestigious award. We look forward to keeping these plaques in school and to future generations Green Top students benefitting from these going forwards.
