Friday 18th March 2020 is Red Nose Day in the UK. At Green Top we will be raising money for the event by selling red nose’s. Red nose’s will go on sale from tomorrow and school councillors will be bringing them to each class in the mornings, priced at £1.50. On the day, we will also be raising money by wearing something red and bringing in a £1 donation. To go along with this, the school council have also thought of some activities that we will be doing in the afternoon.
Jaiden was a finalist in his first ever martial arts competition in 4 areas: sparring, grappling, forms and sports swords.
Jaiden came a fantastic 2nd place in sparring, grappling and forms but he came an amazing first place in sports swords!
Well done, Jaiden! We are super proud of you!
In crew this morning, everyone in Crew Knowles looked at their past arithmetic papers and picked out the questions that they have previously struggled with.
This will really support everyone individually in the run up to SATs to really practise and apply the skills that they don’t feel as confident with.
In reading today, each group were given a set of images from a book. They didn’t know the title of the book and had no context around it either! Each group had to use their inference skills to tell a story based on the images alone. I was so impressed with their skills and picking out the important themes such as deforestation.
Well done, Crew Knowles! You have really worked hard today!
Crew Knowles enjoyed Magic Maths today focusing on strategies to support with remembering the 9 times tables. We focused on the patterns we could see and then applied our knowledge by playing a game. Well done to Gracie-Mae our winner!
Y6 practised their reading fluency skills by performing speeches from our expedition books. Each group read their speech fluently with great passion to protect our endangered species!
We had a lovely day at Tropical World today!
Our first activity was a workshop learning all about the different animals groups as well as how animals have adapted to suit their environment.
After out workshop, we explored Tropical World and enjoyed looking at all of the different animals! It was extremely warm so we felt like we were in a real rainforest!
Here is a round up of some of our Learning Legends as well as our ‘Out of this World’ winners! We had a great week with lots to praise and celebrate! This included some great coaching, responding to feedback, grappling with maths, and even quizzing on Accelerated Reader.
A big shout out to Kayla who won a voucher of her choice from our Accelerated Reader competition!
Y6 have been comparing the life cycles of different animal groups: amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, fish and insects. Each group had to become an expert in their area before moving to other groups to pass on their knowledge. By the end, each group had an anchor chart full of information about each animals group’s life cycle.
