Class 15 – Phases of the Moon! 🌕🌗🌘🌖

Yesterday, we had lots of fun exploring the phases of the moon and how they are caused. We worked collaboratively in groups to use Oreos to show the different phases. A huge shoutout to everyone for how quickly you picked up the different phases and used the key vocabulary to explain and of course we enjoyed eating the Oreos at the end! Class 15 are loving Case Study 1!

Welcome to Year 5 💫

Wow! What a fantastic week we’ve had transitioning into Year 5. It has been super to see lots of new friendships being formed as my current Crew merged with the children from Crew Faulding.
We’ve had lots of team building activities and reflected on what we expect from Crew next year. I’m so excited to watch you all grow and be the best version of you!

Y5/6: A great start to our new phase crew!

It has been a fabulous end to the term by welcoming our new Y5’s to the phase. This week we have spent time developing our new crews through establishing crew norms, creating collaborative art work, creating a crew song amongst other exciting activities. As Y6 have their current teachers again, their transition looked slightly different. Working around the extreme heat this week, that children coped incredibly well with, Y6 children took part in service learning by throughly cleaning the areas around school by litter picking and making our school look the best it can be. We made a stand by creating eye-catching posters that we intend on placing on the fences around the school, particularly the entrance to school. Following this, we had a continental brunch as a reward for our hard work and as a treat for attendance this academic year. This week has been fantastic, I am proud of every single child in our new crew. I’m certain we’re going to have an outstanding and memorable year as a new phase crew.

Wishing everyone a restful and enjoyable Summer break.

XP Climate Conference ’22

On Thursday Evening, Miss Tortora and I had the pleasure of attending a learning celebration at XP East. It was a fantastic event to raise awareness of the impacts of Climate Change and what we can do as a community to help.

A huge shoutout to all of the children from across the Primary schools that attended and presented in front of over a hundred people. They shared their learning journey from our Spring Expedition ’Why should we protect our beautiful planet?’ In particular a big thank you to Thia, JJ and Georgia, along with their parents that represented Green Top. An added shout out to Jersey and Dexter for being a HUGE help selling the CD’s on our stall.

It was a great way to celebrate and showcase our Final Product and music video!
