Fantastic work in Class 7 yesterday from these two superstars. Andra won her award for the content of her writing and her understanding of grouping and sharing in maths this week and with her outstanding split digraph work in phonics, here is Amelia demonstrating one of the reasons I love being a teacher – a true ‘light bulb’ moment!
Awesome job guys. Keep up the good work.
The smile says it all Charlie! Massive congratulations to you and Elise for an amazing first draft of your creative writing. I can’t wait to read the finished piece.
Awesome job both of you!
The children in Class 7 have begun to think about Remembrance Sunday today by making these beautiful poppy paintings.
Fantastic work guys!
These two shooting stars blew Mrs Miller away today in Class 7.
Elliott for his fantastic contraction group work in English and for trying so hard with his writing and Jersey for her awesome maths work in our new multiplication and division unit. Amazing effort guys.
What a fantastic start to Autumn 2 this little Superstar has had!
A fantastic day of wonderful learning behaviours Marcus! A real Motivated Moe!
Thanks to all who have entered the pumpkin competition. The deadline for entries is 12pm today. Unfortunately any entries received after this time will not be part of the judging. One winner per phase will be announced and all entries will receive a small treat on their return to school next Monday. Details of the competition are below:
🎃🍁🍂Happy half term 🎃🍁🍂
At Green Top we are sad that family learning can’t take place as it would usually in our classrooms and therefore we have pledged to have a family learning activity each half term for the whole school community to get involved with.
The first family learning challenge will be a ‘Carve or Decorate your own pumpkin’ competition. This competition will be judged on 31st October. There can be one entry per child and all entries must be entered by a photograph sent to [email protected] by the 12pm Tuesday 27th October. As photographs are entered they will be blogged on the website for all to see. All students who enter will receive a ‘treat’ on their return to school on 2nd November.
In addition one winner will be selected from each phase. Winners will be announced on October 31st.
Do you ever ask your child what they’ve been learning this week only to get told ‘nothing’ or ‘I can’t remember’.
To try and help with this, each year group will share a specific question each week about that weeks learning to try and help get the conversation going.Â
Let us know if it’s useful and helps children talk about their learning.Â

Parents of children in F2, Y1 and Y2 may want to explore this website https://lettersandsounds.org.uk/for-home/overview. This website provides pre recorded phonics lessons which can be used to support your children with the phonics screening check which typically takes place in Y1 during the Summer term. This year our Y2 student are expected to take this phonics check during the second half term.
What a great Monday we have all had in Crew Rodgers today! From fabulous collaboration and coaching in maths, introducing our new text, Mrs Armitage on Wheels, in English, to teaching each other the safest way to cross the road in Expedition, the children have blown me away with their hard work and fantastic learning behaviours.
Our HOWLs targets this week are to make good choices and remind others to do the same, and to nail our transitions between activities. The children have devised 4 protocols for moving around their classroom and the rest of the school.
They are….safe, calm, sensible and quiet….and we are certainly sticking to these rules so far.
Awesome work guys!
Also a big well done to our Learning Legend today Amelia. Fantastic independent writing and maths work. Great job!
Half way through the week already and some more fabulous learning opportunities in class 7! Among my favourite of these was the fact finding session we undertook in our Expedition learning. We listened to the story of Amy Johnson, who flew solo to Australia in 1930! The children worked on their collaboration skills to decide on ‘Fact or Fiction’ statements and made some very insightful comments on the reasons for such a perilous mission.
Here are our learning legends so far this week.
Well done guys!
