Goodbye Class 5 2025

19th July 2025Carly Schon

Well what can I say. Class 5, myself and Miss Cooper are going to miss you sooooo much. You have been so much fun. Your personalities have absolutely shone through all year. Even the children who began the year shy and quiet have absolutely bloomed! You have worked so hard and I can see that you are all ready to begin your next adventure in Year 2. I am so pleased I will still get to see you all again next year so I can follow your journeys. A huge thank you from me and Miss Cooper for being so awesome and keeping us entertained throughout the year. We have laughed so much and had endless amounts of cuddles! Enjoy your summer break – you have all earned it!

Before we sign off I would like to share the work the children have been doing over the past couple of days. We have two videos to share with you. The children have not seen these yet so I would appreciate it if you could let the children watch them. The first video are the speeches the children prepared as part of our Aspirations Week. I was so proud of them all for showing courage and all being willing to stand up in front of their classmates and delivered their speeches! They all showed perseverance even when it became hard. I wanted to create a video to show them off! The second video is a song we have been singing linked to Graduation. I thought it would be a nice idea for the children to act out the words to create this special Graduation Video. I’m sure the children will enjoy singing and dancing along to it!

Crew Schon Attendance

18th July 2025Carly Schon

I am absolutely bursting with pride at Crew Schon’s commitment towards their attendance this year. They have absolutely loved trying to win the Crew kitty money each week. Before Christmas we had no crew kitty money to spend at Mrs Fitz’s shop. We were the only crew in KS1 who had no crew kitty money. Since then the children have been very dedicated and motivated towards their attendance and we have absolutely smashed it. Mrs Fitz said she felt we were going for the school record for best attendance as she was handing out so much money to us! Our Key Stage attendance bear, Paddington, has practically lived in our crew room, especially during the Summer Term. Attendance is so important in school and I would like to thank the children and their families for ensuring children do not miss out on vital learning opportunities and experiences. I have had such a wonderful year with you all and I hope you love your attendance rewards, you thoroughly deserve them!

Class 5 Graduation

18th July 2025Carly Schon

We had a lovely week celebrating our year in Year 1. We have been thinking about the year thats passed but also looking to the future and what we aspire to be. The children showed bags of courage by doing a speech about what they would like to be in the future and the character traits they think they will show when they achieve their goal. Keep an eye on the blog as I will be sharing more of their work and graduation photos soon!

Class 5 Transition

10th July 2025Carly Schon

We had another great day today in Class 5. Thank you to all the adults who came to our reading sessions. It was so lovely to meet you all. In Crew today we tested our memory and played Kim’s Game. We had 8 objects and then hid them under a blanket. We had to draw the objects we could remember. After that we designed some doodles of all the things we have enjoyed so far in Green Top school. It was lovely to hear the children talking about everything they could remember about their time so far in school and I shared some of the things they have to look forward to in Key Stage 1. After lunch we read the story ‘How Many Legs’. We rewrote the story using our class as the characters and then we acted it out to Mrs Shaws class. Mrs Shaws class then shared their own stories with us so we could see what we can achieve by the end of Year 1. I have had such a lovely time with you all and I am excited to begin our journey next school year!

Class 5 Transition

9th July 2025Carly Schon

Today the new Class 5 had a lovely first day transitioning into Year 1.

We started the day with ‘Let’s Get Squiggling’ and drew the most amazing pirate pictures!

Next we got to know each other a little better during our crew circle and by playing crew games.

Then we couldn’t wait to explore our new classroom!

The children were amazing at discussing the different zones of regulation in preparation for us to film our all video!

I am very excited to see them all again tomorrow. Both myself and Mrs Leggott have had a wonderful day getting to know you all!

Key stage 1 dance workshop

3rd July 2025Aime Shaw

5 children with great HOWLs from each crew, were chosen to take part in a workshop this morning. They used lots of PE skills throughout and then ended by making up a fantastic dance! The children were all amazing and loved the experience. Mrs Clay managed to watch it all and said the children all joined in 100% and really put their all into it! Well done guys!
