A huge well done to our first maths learning legend of the week, Imogen. She dazzled us with her knowledge of money in our touchdown, recognising and ordering coins and making amounts like a pro.

Great Job Imogen.

We have all been learning about Diwali this week in community crew and we were lucky enough in class 6 to have a student who is taking part in the 5 day Festival of Light celebrations. Haran told us all about how he will celebrate over the coming days and even brought in these delicious treats for our class so we could be part of the festivities.

Thank you so much to Haran and his family!

A huge well done to all the winners of HoWL certificate winners in our phase assembly this morning. Those from class 6 winning awards were Hunter, Tallon and Kalab for Work Hard, Be Kind and Get Smart respectively and our overall points winner was Shae. Ellis-Jude won the Be Kind certificate in Crew O’Neill and Adam was our Reading champion this week.

Great job guys…really proud of you all!

Take a look at these wonderful smiles! What superstars Olivia, Anais and Adam have been. They tried extremely hard in all their lessons today. Mr Wright, Miss Wilkins and i are very proud of you all!

What a wonderful afternoon class 6 have had today on their family learning event. Continuing with our current expedition, ‘What can I do to be a superhero in my community?’, we embarked on a clean up campaign along the banks of the canal. It was a beautiful day for a walk and, although we didn’t find much litter to pick up, we were pleased that our local community are following our keep Thorne clean values, and that we are making those small changes that have huge effect. It was also wonderful to hear the comments of some of the local residents that we passed along the way as to how lovely it was to see our polite and happy children out and about in the community again. Miss Wilkins, Mr Wright and I couldn’t be more proud of the way you behaved. I would also like to say a huge thank-you to all of the children’s family members who took time out of their day to join us on our litter-pick. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Check out the gallery below for photographs of our afternoon.

What a fabulous start to the new half term today. Miss Good and I re-hooked the children into our class text Matilda by dressing as Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull. The children practised their speaking and listening skills by thinking up some fabulous questions to ask their ‘new’ teachers and then used opposite adjective matching activities to link what they know about the characters to their literacy learning.

A huge well done to Shae and Deacon for becoming the first postcard winners in class 6 for their fabulous engagement with their tasks today.

Keep it up my superstars!

Congratulations to Eva who won our postcard for her fantastic learning attitudes and 110% effort in all areas of her school work last week.

Keep it up angel!

To highlight the importance of regular reading practise and to encourage reading for pleasure, key stage 1 have begun to award a Reading Champion trophy to the child who reads the most books weekly in each class. Massive congratulations to the children who received the trophy this week. Our own champion was Deacon, who lead the way with a huge 12 books read. Who will be our next Champion?

Remember, you can record all of your reading in your yellow journal, not just school books.

If you are visiting the Frenchgate Centre in Doncaster over half-term be sure to look out for the pumpkins decorated by our fabulous children here at Green Top. Each crew decorated their own pumpkin and below is the one done by crew Rodgers. Each of the children added a bat, a spider or a ghost to the pumpkin and we are very proud of our efforts.

Have a great half-term everyone.
