Brilliant start to History Week

17th July 2023Jayne Rodgers

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!

School Council End of Year Celebration

10th July 2023Rebecca Barnett

We had a great time for our last School Council meeting of the year. It was lovely to see all the children reflecting on what they have enjoyed this year before we celebrated all our hard work with some party games. Thank you for all your hard work this year! You have all been amazing and should be super proud of yourselves.

Key stage 1 sports day!

7th July 2023Aime Shaw

Just a little reminder that year 1 and year 2 will be having their sports day on Wednesday 12th July. It will be starting at 9.00am on the key stage 2 field. The children can come to school in their PE kits and wear trainers. Please can they bring sun cream already applied, a sun hat and a water bottle.

It will also be a chance for them to share with you their recipe books that they have produced as part of our Spring Term expedition and these will be on sale for £5 if anyone would like to purchase one.

There will also be refreshments for sale for any adults that attend.

We can’t wait to have a fantastic morning with you all.

Y1’s awesome celebration of learning

5th July 2023Jayne Rodgers

What an amazing afternoon we had today celebrating the end of our final expedition with our families and carers. Our school hall was packed out with family members who came to listen to the children present their life journey so far, and to marvel at the children’s writing skills as they shared their very own space themed books. The children have worked long and hard on producing the stories, illustrations and front covers. What lovely keepsakes to cherish and, in years to come, look back with fond memories of their time in year 1. We sure will miss you all!

We would also like to give a huge shout out to the staff that helped us serve refreshments today and to Mrs Clay, Miss Cooper, Mrs Roe and Faith, and everyone else who helped to edit, draft, draw, colour, cut, stick and assemble the books. It was a mammoth task but I’m sure you will agree, totally worth it.

Finally to all parents and carers who took the time to attend our celebration today. Events like these could not go ahead without your support and for this we send out a massive thank you!

Look out J. K. Rowling! Year one are coming to get you!
