Year 1 PE
Year 1 PE will take place on Monday afternoons. All children will need to bring a school PE kit consisting of a Green TShirt, black shorts and pumps or trainers that your child can easily take on/off by themselves. Earrings must be removed. If they cannot be removed due to being freshly pierced please cover up.
It is important that children always have their PE kit available in school for their PE lessons. Please ensure all clothing is clearly labelled with your child’s name and please continue to check what your child is bringing home and return anything that does not belong to them. PE will begin on Monday 8th September.
Thank you,
Miss Schon and Miss Rodgers
Year 1 and 2 welcome meeting
We are delighted to invite all parents and carers of children in Year 1 and Year 2 to our welcome meeting on Monday 8th September from 5.00pm – 6.00pm in the school hall (please use the hall door entrance).
This meeting will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the Year 1/2 teaching team and to hear more about the exciting year of learning ahead. The meeting will cover many things for both year groups including phonics, visits and we can answer any questions that you may have.
Most importantly, this will be a chance to learn about routines and expectations in Year 1 and year 2, and to see how home and school can work together to make this a positive, successful and enjoyable year for every child. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the exciting journey ahead!
Thank you in advance,
Y1 and Y2 Team
Class 5: First Week Back!
Wow what a week we have had in Class 5. It has been so lovely getting to know the children even better they are awesome! I have already seen how brilliant the children are at displaying courage and overcoming any worries or concerns they have. They are very resilient and we have had so much fun completing our first week back activities. Two of our highlights were visiting the XP Outdoors camp where we toasted marshmallows to make smores and sang funny camp songs with Mr Kershaw. It was so lovely seeing the children smiling and laughing along. We also loved our Water Extravaganza especially the water guns, wet sponge obstacle course and Mrs Raynors soggy disco!
For our learning this week we have been answering the guiding question ‘How does what I do impact others?’. We have learned about reducing, reusing and recycling materials to help conquer climate change. We have been drawing pictures to decorate recycling boxes for all the classes in school. We had a lovely lady called Lynne come in to visit us to teach us all about what happens with our waste in Doncaster. The children have been really engaged and compassionate.
I am very excited for our Hook Week next week where we will learn what our Autumn Term Expedition will be and do lots of crafts to decorate our classroom!
Here are some photos of our week! (Water Extravaganza will be shared in a whole school post!)

KS1 Superheroes Unite – An invitation to our family learning event on Thursdy 4th September
On Thursday 4th September, all KS1 children are invited to come to school dressed as a favourite superhero of their choice. We have been learning about heroes in the local community so they may wish to consider these, such as police officers and nurses, or they may opt for their favourite fictional superhero instead. Costumes do not have to be bought – be creative with the things you already have at home!
Parents and carers are then invited to join us on the Key Stage 1 playground from 1.30pm where you will be able to enjoy a range of superhero themed activities (trainers a must, capes and masks optional!)
We do hope you will join us and we can’t wait to see you all then.

Goodbye Class 5 2025
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
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
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!
Year 1 and 2 product drop off!
Our Year 1 and 2s loved being able to drop off their Paddington themed mobiles at a local day care nursery. We loved sharing our knowledge with the adults too!
Class 5 Transition
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!
