I was once more blown away by how beautifully the children in class 6 collaborated on their task of locating and naming the seven continents this morning. They were even able to explain their learning to our visitors and Mrs Overson.
So proud of you all x
Lots to celebrate in this morning’s assembly in class 6.
Ezra, Savannah and Reeva won certificates for work hard, be kind and get smart respectively and Deacon was overall HoWL point winner. Nathaniel held on to his reading champion cup for another week and Adam joined the picture too as he missed out on last week’s celebration.
Kalab won our learning legend postcard for a day with many good choices and Deacon shared his swimming certificate with us.
Keep up the good work crew x
We had a lovely discussion today as part of children’s mental health week about where or rather who, we could go to if we were feeling sad, lonely, upset or scared. It was wonderful to hear that the children had a wide ranging support network of adults that they could share their problems with. The children learned a new saying ‘a problem shared is a problem halved’ and we talked about some of the things that make us sad. Well done guys.
Bobby won our learning legend postcard today for his fabulous listening which led to awesome learning.
Keep on getting smart Bobby, it really does make a difference.
I was so proud of the behaviour and engagement of class 6 yesterday on their first ever official off site trip. We had a marvellous time exploring the wonderful sea creatures at The Deep in Hull and showed just how much we have learned during our workshop. Please see below for a pictorial record of our day.
This weeks phonics focus sounds will be…
o-e as in home, u-e as in cube, i as in fine and i as in find, o as in cot and o as in cold
Our weekly spellings are…
were, house, home, hole, tube, cube, fin, find, cot, cold
Any help you could give your child with recognising the sounds and practising the spellings would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for your continued support and to all those who practised last week’s spellings. It really does make a massive difference for the children to see that the work they do in school is considered just as important at home.

A very special visitor was put in the hot-seat today in year 1 when Mr Nick Fletcher, our local member of parliament came to Green Top to answer questions about plastic pollution and climate change. The children certainly didn’t let him off lightly! Here are class 6’s awesome ‘I wonders’….
Miss Rodgers – Why is single use plastic still being produced when we know the effect it is having on our world? (It’s production is being reduced but we need to stop buying so much and chose alternative packaging too.)
Deacon – When will we stop making petrol and diesel cars? (Production in this country will end in 2030, although some cars imported from other countries will still be used in Britain.)
Junior – In Scarborough there is a ‘re-cycling’ fish where people can collect waste plastic from the beaches and put it in the fish for re-cycling. Could we have something like this in Thorne? (Mr Fletcher suggested we contact our town council to ask.)
Kalab – Why can’t there be a recycling centre just for plastic? (Mr Fletcher suggested we take the lids off plastic bottles so they would crush more easily to reduce their size and gave us some handy tips on how to make our plastic waste cleaner by not putting anything in our re-cycling bins that had touched food, or rinsing before re-cycling.)
Hunter – Is there a different, safer alternative to plastic? (Scientists are working on bio-degradable materials to replace plastic, but we can help by choosing snacks without packaging such as fresh fruit.)
Harrison – How could you make it easier to re-use our plastic bottles? (By choosing a hard plastic water bottle or by encouraging our school to go single-use plastic free as he has just suggested they do in the Palace of Westminster.)
I was so proud of the intelligent questions you asked and of the discussion we had afterwards about Mr Fletchers suggestions. It s awesome to see just how much you have learned about protecting our beautiful planet.
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit us Mr Fletcher.
Well deserved learning legend postcards today for Rhys and Anais for smashing effort in their work and this weeks yellow t shirt winner Florence, who has blown me away this week with her Can-do Colin attitude. Sorry Florence, I can’t find your photo. I will post one next week.
Great job guys!
A massive thank you to all the parents and carers who went to such great efforts to make costumes for today’s maths day. Everyone looked awesome!
Big shout out to our learning legends today. Nathaniel won for being a kind and helpful crew member and Ellis for the awesome effort he is putting into his work.
Well done boys x
