On the 24th September we are celebrating National Fitness Day! To get us ready and prepared we would like you to create some posters that we can have around school to inform children, staff and parents about the importance of fitness!
Watch the video below to collect some ideas for your poster.
Crew Council will be round this week to show you their examples too!
During the next two weeks, can you create something about yourself for your new teacher?
You can be as creative as you wish.
You could:
Your new teachers can’t wait to meet you all this week and what a lovely way to help them to get to know you better!
Thank You Day is a national initiative in the UK dedicated to expressing gratitude to individuals and groups who make a positive impact in our communities. Originally launched in 2021 to acknowledge the efforts of NHS staff and other key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the day has since evolved into a broader celebration of appreciation and community spirit.
We would like to get involved by saying a big thank you to different people within our local community.
Create a postcard, thank you card or poster to someone in our community that you want to say THANK YOU to.
Make a list in Crew of all the people you want to say thank you to and bring in your completed cards next Monday! We would love to deliver some of the cards before the end of Summer Term!

We can’t wait to see and display your final pieces!
I have loved seeing the children being so invested in their learning over the last few weeks, and I am blown away by the home learning they are doing as a result of this …. well done boys and girls – keep up the great work!!

This week why don’t you get involved by:
Bring your work in to share with your Crew – We can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to!
Keep an eye on the blog for days next week where Crew Council will be selling Fresh Fruit and Vegetables at Playtimes.
Year 3 are working hard on their current Maths topic – telling the time, but many of us are finding it very tricky … especially telling the time to 5minutes and to the minute using analogue clocks. Please could we urge everyone to spend some time at home looking at analogue clocks and watches, discussing time and practising reading different times throughout the day as this will really help us when we are looking at digital times and then problem solving with time.
For half-term, we did share some homework around this so a big well done to those who have already completed this. If you haven’t already done it then why not take another look at the previous blog post here: https://greentopschool.co.uk/year-3-telling-the-time-homework-for-half-term/
You might also find this clock-face poster a useful tool: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tEgZLbusnHDci9sh7PMsSUPYSI73jsf8/view?usp=sharing
