Class 5 – Making an impact

Today we have been exploring our guiding question ‘How does what I do impact others?’ Today we did a litter pick around school and we sorted materials that could be recycled. We also played a fun memory game in our crew session and practised our phonics skills. The children have been awesome again today. I think it is going to be a fantastic year!

Welcome Back Class 5

Class 5 have had a lovely first day back at school today. We have been exploring the question ‘How does what I do impact others?’. We have enjoyed the story ‘The Messy Magpie’ and have also been exploring our new classroom. Well done Class 5 for a super first day in Year 1!

Key stage 1s picnic products *For sale on Friday*

I am so proud of the learning that has happened in key stage 1 this year. The children have risen to the challenge and gone above and beyond with the products that they have made this year and I will forever be grateful for the support from our parents to help celebrating these fantastic achievements.

At the picnic tomorrow, which starts at 12.30, we will have 2 of our amazing products on sale for parents to buy. We have the beautiful recipe books, which feature the children’s writing, photographs and work. There will also be our newest product…the reusable bag, with a self portrait of every child in key stage 1 on, which they sketched this term. I have bought one to use for myself next year too!

we hope you love them as much as we do!

thanks again for all of your support this year

Mrs Shaw’s new to year 2 beautiful work!

We have had such a super couple of days getting to know each other and learning all about our new astronaut: Valentina Tereshkova! The children have created a fantastic fact file about her life and I think they look amazing. They have been showing me their beautiful writing, their fantastic art skills, as well as their cutting and sticking skills. On top of that they blew me away this afternoon with the amount of information that they could recall about Valentina’s life. Super stars!

Have a great Summer guys and I will see you when you officially start in year 2…I can’t wait!

Class 6 Graduation

Well, what a year it has been. Today Class 6 celebrated their Year 1 Graduation Day! We had a lovely day reflecting on our year and sharing the things we are proud of. Class 6 you have been absolutely awesome and it has been a privilege to be your teacher. Wishing you lots of luck on your new adventure as you enjoy your transition days in Year 2. Have lots of fun, I can’t wait to hear all about it!

Children will bring home their graduation photos later in the week!

Brilliant start to History Week

History week ‘blasted off’ to an amazing start today as we celebrated the 54th anniversary of the launch of the Saturn 5 rocket and the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon. We will be following the mission in real time day by day until the actual touch down on the moon’s surface on the 20th of July.

In year 1, we thought about how Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins felt as they embarked upon their historic journey and related this to our giant leap into year 2 and how that made us feel. We talked about the qualities we have developed this year such as kindness, hard work, friendship and resilience, and how we can carry these with us as we continue our own journey through Green Top.

During our transition days we will be studying another famous astronaut, Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. The other key stages will learn about other astronauts and each will produce a fact file. I can’t wait to see everyone’s efforts!

KS1 assembly

A huge congratulations to everyone in key stage one today you have all worked your little socks off this year and you should all be really proud of yourselves. 🥹Also a huge well done to our certificate winners and crew Rodgers for winning the attendance!! Todays assembly was a little emotional as it’s the last time year 2 get to sing our special song at the end. 🥰
