Y5/6 Expedition Homework Menu

Hi, please find the Y5/6 homework menu attached. In addition, reading is a vital life skill, please support us by listening to your child at least 3 times a week. As SATs is fast approaching, reading daily will support your child’s reading fluency and accuracy. Books read at home can contribute to your child’s Accelerated Reader data.

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!

Year 3/4: Football Tournament at XP

On Friday, a small number of year 3/4 children had the wonderful opportunity to play in a football tournament with another school in our Trust (Plover). A big ‘shout-out’ to all the children for working hard and being kind. It made the afternoon competitive and very enjoyable. A special ‘shout-out’ to Niah for being player of the tournament – you worked your socks off for your team and never said a negative thing to anyone. A thank you to all the parents involved in taking the children and returning them, to Mr Overson for all your help and to Mr Mead (of Plover) for arranging a fantastic afternoon.

Year 3 and 4: GTGT 2022

Yesterday it was fantastic to see so many talented children perform for us in our phase crew meeting. We were blown away by the efforts and dedication that you all put in to practising and performing your acts.

It’s not an easy thing to get up and perform in front of an audience but you all smashed it and it showed such brilliant character growth for getting up there and having a go!

We are so proud of you!!

**We have voted in our crews today so we will be announcing the Year 3/4 winner tomorrow!**

Watch this space but you definitely all deserve 50 HoWL points for working hard!

Thank you, the year 3/4 team 🙂 x

Year 4: Sports Day!

What a fab morning we had on Monday at our 2022 Sports Day!

Great to see everyone having a go and trying new things that are out of their comfort zones. A true highlight for the staff was hearing the cheers of encouragement from everyone from different crews- you were all so supportive of each other!

A huge well done to Crew Myers on being the overall champs!

You all smashed it and we are so proud of you all!

Staff crew tonight 💚

Staff took part in their own staff crew sports day tonight. We felt exactly the same as some of the children did on sports day, when we were put outside of our comfort zone.

There were some falls, some competitiveness and lots of laughs!

What a great staff crew we have
