Today’s Learning Legend goes to….

Well done Lucas W! I was really impressed with your artwork that you created today although I am more impressed with the video you created about your crew’s home learning. I thought it was really thoughtful and demonstrates that you are a great member of your crew as you clearly think about others.

Well done Lucas- Keep up the great attitude and maturity to online learning!

 

I hope you don’t mind me attaching your video in!

 

Eben’s MARVELous egg!

Well what can I say?

I think Eben has ‘eggcelled’ with his MARVELous egg design of the Hulk. It looks ‘eggactly’ like the film version, it’s clear that you’ve worked ‘eggceptionally’ hard!

All yolks aside, Well done. I think you are definitely deserving of Miss Knowles’ Learning Legend today.

Eggcellent Eggs!

I have received some great pictures from my crew today of their brilliantly decorated eggs! Well done everyone – keep sending me those great pictures!

 

Today’s learning legend goes to …. Declan! You have been nominated by Mrs Robertson for completing all of your Easter learning today! Well done for being a Motivated Moe!

Lego Challenges

Here are 30 challenges for those of you who like to play with Lego – maybe you could share them (use [email protected]) and we’ll put a video together of all those different creations.

Tuesday’s Learning Legend … Oliver!

Today’s Learning Legend just has to go to … Oliver!

I am super proud of Oliver these last two weeks as he is trying so exceptionally hard with his online home learning. He has been so motivated to complete all of his English, Maths and Expedition slides each day and puts in 100% effort.

Yesterday he planted a beautiful flower which he is going to look after – it will flower in the Summer when this strange time is over and give his family something to look after. Today, he has written a beautiful Easter acrostic poem which reflects how he is feeling at the minute.

Well done, Oliver! You are a true Can Do Colin!

Declan

Declan is absolutely blowing me away with his home learning! He has been such a Stickability Stan at home completing all of his learning daily and really trying his hardest with his Maths, English and Expedition slides! He is busy working hard today and practising his spellings! I am super proud of him!

Week 2 plans for home learning

As you will know next week and the week after should have been the Easter holidays. However, Green Top will remain open to key worker families. Therefore there will still be people available to answer your calls, texts and emails Monday to Friday 8am-5pm.

We will be continuing with Google hangouts and Google classroom in the same way we have this week and there will still be work set for English and Maths skills lessons daily. In addition there will be fun activities to complete as part of the Expedition learning plans. It would be great to catch up with you using one of these tools each day. We encourage you to have some down time too but don’t want to lose your enthusiasm and engagement in the home learning success we’ve had this week. It is such an uncertain time and all staff, children and parents who’ve spoken to me have really valued the positive impact the communication with friends and staff has had on the Green Top children and wider community. Unfortunately, no one knows how long this period of enforced school closure will last for and lots of you have asked me for more ideas of things to do at home when you’re stuck in the house.

We’d like to hear from you as often as possible and therefore will continue with our safe and well checks next week. As always if you need to talk or have anything to ask we’re at the end of the phone, email or text service.

Hope to see you all in hangouts or google classroom next week, send your teachers/phase leaders lots of photos too and look out for next weeks challenge for feel good Friday.

Thanks

Mrs Claira Salter

Wonder

As part of diversity week, Year 6 have been looking in to the story of ‘Wonder’. We have focused on recognising the uniqueness of every individual and why it is important to celebrate diversity.

Today we focused on writing diary entries imagining what it would be like for Auggie on his first day at school. As you will see from the video, the quality of the emotive writing which has been produced by our Year 6’s (during their home learning) is amazing! These diary entries are completely unaided and have been written independently by the children.

I am so proud of my Crew today, and every day!
