Refreshments will be available and there will also be the chance to buy a digital copy of the amazing photographs that were taken of the children during our superhero dress up day at the beginning of term.
Please fill in this Google Form to request seats at the event. There is no limit to the number of other children you can bring but the adult seats will be restricted to 2 per KS1 class member.

Remembrance Service
It is always lovely to hear about our children’s experiences outside of school. At the weekend, Ava and Oscar laid a wreath at the remembrance service for Moorends Youth Club. Great work! It is fantastic to see children from Green Top positively engaging in community events.
Year 2 Midwife visit
Year 2 have a had a lovely guest this afternoon, a midwife! She told us all about her job and how she works in the hospital and in the local community to help look after pregnant ladies and new born babies. She brought us some interesting equipment to show us that she uses to help her do her job.
Lest We Forget…

Class 7 – iPad Creations
Class 7 have enjoyed using iPads to design and create certificates for our Pride of Thorne Awards Celebration on 23rd November, as well as creating digital artwork of the dirty hospitals which Florence Nightingale helped to clean up … perhaps the children will take a lead out of her book and enjoy tidying their bedrooms at the weekend?! Fingers crossed 🙂
Remembrance in history club
In history club this evening we learned about the different colour poppies used to celebrate the sacrifices made in wars.
The red poppy for servicemen and women from the First World War up to the present day.
The purple poppies are worn for the animals who have died in wars.
The black poppy rose was introduced in 2010 to represent the contributions of the African, Black, West Indian, Caribbean, Pacific Islands and Indigenous communities to wars.
White poppies have been worn since 1933 as a symbol of peace and remembrance.
We made a wreath of the red and purple poppies to display in KS1 corridor as a mark of respect.
