We discussed good and bad fires, smoke alarms, stop drop and roll, phoning 999 and what to do and what an escape plan is and what it would look like.
All staff have been really impressed by how respectful the children were this afternoon and their involvement and participation. It was great to see what you already knew about this topic and sharing your knowledge with your crew.
Well done everyone.

What a day we’ve had visiting XP today to record our song for our product.
So so beyond proud of how you’ve all pushed yourselves out of your comfort zone to do this. To perform and sing in front of others is such a brave thing to do and look at you all today. Stood in a recording studio, ready to perform and record our own song, written by YOU!!
We can’t wait for you all to hear our song “Dear World” that we’ve created alongside other primary schools from the XP trust. It’s going to be amazing!!
Won’t be long now until the big reveal!
A reminder that red noses will continue to be on sale this week up until the day itself. They are priced at £1.50 per red nose and we only have a limited number remaining so make sure that you get yours bought early! School councillors will be bringing them round during morning crew.
Just to remind all parents of children across Year 3 and 4 that we will be visiting XP on Tuesday 15th March. Here is a copy of the original letter.
Friday 18th March 2020 is Red Nose Day in the UK. At Green Top we will be raising money for the event by selling red nose’s. Red nose’s will go on sale from tomorrow and school councillors will be bringing them to each class in the mornings, priced at £1.50. On the day, we will also be raising money by wearing something red and bringing in a £1 donation. To go along with this, the school council have also thought of some activities that we will be doing in the afternoon.
On Friday, I had the pleasure of taking a group of children from Year 3 and 4 to Trinity to take part in an afternoon of Basketball. I was SO impressed with how well everyone worked together and with the children from the other school. The children listened to the coach really respectfully and gained some fantastic skills! Well done everyone!
I particularly liked that the children could describe their character and their favourite book!
A big well done to Crew Oldridge on being awarded first place for your attendance this week. We can see that you’re all working really hard ensuring that you are coming to school each day. Keep it up!
Another well done but this time to Crew Tortora on winning the overall HoWL points for this week so they got to spin the prize wheel. It’s fab to see that you are all getting smart, working hard and being kind. All of these contribute to lots of HoWL points being awarded! Enjoy your extra play time, you super stars!
In Accelerated Reader, we celebrated Crew Faulding for their above average reading percentage and also Crew Myers for their 0.3 percent increase since before half term. Year 4 are smashing it! Keep it up!

Children from Year 2-5 had a fun-filled time at XP East today as we met up with children who are also digital leaders from across the trust. We began the day with a brilliant tour of XP and XP East before working hard to understand the role of a digital leader, why digital leaders are important and the qualities a digital leader should have. I was blown away by the children’s efforts and collaboration but also the courage they demonstrated to share their ideas in front of a big audience! A great day was had by all and the children will now share their learning with the leadership team at Green Top. Thank you to Mr. Portman and XP for having us for the day…we had a great time!
