Christmas Bingo Night Information
We are really looking forward to welcoming you to our Christmas Bingo Night on Thursday and have lots of tasty treats waiting to be won. There are a small number of tickets available if you havenât managed to get one yet and would still like to come along and join in the fun.
Doors open 5:30pm Eyes down 6pm
The cards for each game will be on sale on the night and there will be 6 different coloured games during the evening with lots of Christmas chocolate themed prizes. Bingo cards will cost 20p each or cost ÂŁ1 for a coloured strip for 6 cards. You can even take advantage of our offer of 6 coloured strips for ÂŁ5! Of course, you can play as many cards as you can manage in each game.
Will you be brave enough to play a full strip or even more than one? If you have young children attending then you may decide to split a strip into individual cards so they can enjoy playing too.
Refreshments will be on sale before and in between games. We will also be holding a raffle for 50p a ticket and have a range of great prizes to be won. It would be much appreciated if you could bring change on the night to make it easier when purchasing bingo strips, raffle tickets and refreshments.
Year 3 Romans
Over the last couple of weeks the children have been working on sketching Roman soldiers, they have all worked really hard and Iâm so proud of them. Here are a few examples of their work.
EYFS PANTO!
Wow wow wow! What an amazing morning weâve had with Chloe and Charlie from STAG-ED who came to perform the pantomime Cinderella. We had so much fun, laughter and songs. The children absolutely loved it. What a treat for a drizzly Monday morning!
The cast even sang our birthday girl, Isabella âHappy birthdayâ.
A huge thank you to the Green Top Friends committee who paid for us to have this wonderfully festive treat.
Christmas has landed in class 6
Year 3/4 dodgeball! 🏆
I would just like to give a massive shout out to our Year 3 and 4 pupils who represented Green Top in our Trust dodgeball tournament! What a super set of performances you put in! There were some really really tight games and I think it is fair to say that fun was had by all.
Most importantly, the children represented the school and themselves really well. Thank you to the adults who took our players to the tournament – it is really appreciated!

Beautiful Work This Week
Pride of Thorne Awards
This very special event has brought together nominees from across Green Top’s local community who have been recognised for their invaluable work both with and for the people of Thorne. From food banks to emergency services to care homes – all were presented awards by KS1 children at Green Top, as part of their Expedition ‘Not all superheroes wear capes’. The list and variety of work celebrated this evening was incredible and each and every award was so well deserved. Congratulations to all of you from Green Top!

Harry Potter Day – Year 5 and 6
On Monday 11th December Year 5 and Year 6 are having a Harry Potter day, where they will take part in a variety of themed activities linked to the film/book series. The children are invited to come dressed up in clothes linked to Harry Potter if they choose; please note there is no expectation for you to purchase a costume for this themed day.
When we visit Harry Potter Studios, it will be the âHogwarts in the snowâ experience. As part of our themed day, we would like to watch the film âHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fireâ as it has a number of winter snow scenes. The film rating is 12A – if you would NOT consent to your child watching this film, please let your childâs crew leader know as soon as possible so alternative plans can be made.
Thank you
The Year 5 and Year 6 Staff Team
Year 6 – Final touchdown writing
This morning we began to write our final speeches about saving endangered animals. The children were so focused on producing their best – thinking about presentation and all the edits and improvements they had already made in green pen. Well done – I can’t wait to read the final versions.

Year 6 – Jaguar webinar with WWF
Today is International Jaguar Day and as part of our expedition learning we took part in a live webinar with an expert from the World Wildlife Fund. We learnt lots of new facts but I was also impressed with the knowledge that some of the children already had and could share with our crew.
