Red Nose Day – Friday 17th March
To celebrate Comic Relief this year, we are inviting you to come to school dressed in red with a suggested donation of £1.
This years merchandise includes many different Mr Men and Little Miss characters.
As part of Red Nose Day we are launching our very own Design a T-shirt Competition!
If you want to take part, all you need to do is design your very own Red Nose Day t-shirt and bring it with you on Friday 17th March.
Get creative and design it in any way you want! You might want to draw a picture, paint it or even create a t-shirt you can wear on the day.
Each crew will vote for their winning design to be entered into a whole school competition. Have you got what it takes to be our winning design? Good Luck! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
KS1 are hooked on opera!
What a fantastic hook back into our learning after the half term holidays we enjoyed this afternoon. Mr Lamb, who had already given us the benefit of his expert knowledge about castles earlier in the year, came into school to explain what being an opera singer entails. He talked us through the process of learning and practising a song, and showed us the costumes and make-up he wears when performing. We joined in with some vocal exercises before Mr. Lamb performed part of ‘Toreador’ from the opera, Carmen. The children were transfixed! They then were allowed to try on some of the hats and masks that Mr Lamb wears. What an amazing experience. Thank you so much Mr Lamb.
World Book Day
Green Top will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March and this will be a dress up event.
We can’t wait to see which book character you decide to be but please don’t feel that you have to buy a costume – we love seeing the homemade ones!
New Year 1 SPaG Parent’s Site
Good evening all. I wanted to share with you an exciting new site to explain and support you in helping your child practise their spelling, punctuation and grammar skills. Mrs. Jackson has put together some very useful information for parents and carers to explain what and how we teach these very important skills. There are also videos, slide presentations and practise papers to help your child succeed. Click on the link here to access the site for Year 1. Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact Miss Schon or myself.
With many thanks for your continued support

Year 1 Maths – Numbots
Today we introduced the children in Year 1 to ‘Numbots’. Just like TTRockstars you can download the Numbots app and use the same log-in details to access the Numbots games. These games practise the skills of subtilising, number bonds, addition and subtraction. At first the games may appear to be easy but this is because it is practising children’s quick recall skills. The games progressively get harder the more you play. Once children reach level 26 the ‘Challenge’ section will unlock and children will be able to choose their own games that they want to practise.
We hope that you enjoy watching your child’s skills improving each time they play!
