Next week we will be celebrating Children in Need on Thursday 18th November!
Thursday will be a dress up day where we are inviting children to wear something spotty and bright coloured! Any donations on the dress up day for Children in Need will be gratefully received.
Our school council are also holding a couple of competitions which will be running next week.
Yesterday in English, the children ‘Built their background knowledge’ around light. This will link to our final Science Case Study in Expedition where we will be exploring how light travels.
The children read information linking to light in collaborative groups and then completed a silent discussion to share their new knowledge. To end the lesson the children then used their information to write a prediction about the experiment we will be carrying out this week!
I was so impressed with everyone’s engagement throughout the lesson and the kindness and support you showed when reading – Well done Crew!
Good morning,
On Friday (12/11/21), year 4 and year 4 teachers are dressing up as rock stars to promote Times Tables Rockstars and conclude ‘Maths Week’ at Green Top. Please don’t feel that you need to go out and buy anything, we’re just aiming for a rock starish look and an afternoon of using this site to practice our TIMES TABLES!
We’ve had a great start to Maths Week with lots of the Y5/6 children guessing how many sweets are in the tub, lots of great, engaging maths lessons, and lots of lovely maths stories shared in crew!
The LC have loved going in to the Y3/4 maths lessons to see maths in action and they are looking forward to going in to Y5/6 maths lessons tomorrow!
Here is a sneak peak of all the wonderful maths that Y3/4 have been up to today!
A big shout out to Thia for being the first Learning Legend of Maths week in Crew Myers. Her determination and motivation has helped her ‘Get Smart’ in maths today and she had super confidence subtracting 3 and 4 digit numbers!
Well done Thia!! 50 ‘Get Smart’ Howl Points!
It was a delight to welcome parents back into classrooms for family learning yesterday afternoon. It was so lovely to see children working together and enjoying sharing their learning and knowledge with their adults.
Thank you to all the adults that were able to make the event! We are already looking forward to the next one.
What a lovely first day back we have had today! It’s been wonderful to have you all back in the classroom, see your smiling faces and hear all about your half terms.
We had a great start to the week, creating Roman Catapults in English. The children had to carefully read and follow a set of instructions to build a catapult using lollipop sticks and elastic bands. This has hooked us into our new English cycle focussing on instructions and scientific investigations!
Well done everyone!
Before half-term, Y4 took part in some engaging fieldwork at the Danum Museum in Doncaster. We were able to build on our prior knowledge to ask questions about what life was like in Doncaster during the Roman invasion. This work will help us to make our expedition product even more informative. Great work Year 4!
This week in Academic Crew, we explored the meaning of ‘Pride’ and what that looks like in our books. We completed a silent gallery where the children had the chance to look for examples of Pride in each other’s work. The children then gave the books specific and helpful critique.
There were lots of wonderful vocabulary used and lots of support given. This has then helped our Crew to improve their own books and been a nice reminder of the expectations of Pride and presentation in our work.
 
A massive shout out to Ronnie for being voted as our Crew Councillor!
Ronnie is a great role model to our Crew and Y3/4 and we all agree she will be a great member of the School Council! Well done Ronnie!
