Green Top’s Digital Leaders

28th February 2022Chris Mumby

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!

3, 2, 1 Debate

28th February 2022Luke Oldridge

In English, crew Oldridge have debating for and against banning plastic straws. They have had to draw on their learning from expedition sessions and ‘Get Smart’ by collaborating and sharing their knowledge with their team. Each team made some excellent points. Well done!

Mental Health Week in Crew Oldridge

11th February 2022Luke Oldridge

This week we have read The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. We have really enjoyed the text and talked at length about not feeling the pressure to be anything but yourself.

Class 13 also finished their writing touchdowns. They were really interested to compare their writing with the first piece they produced in year 4 and were pleasantly surprised.

Year 3/4 spelling list

Happy Half Term!

You’ve all worked so hard and we are so proud of you all and your amazing efforts each and every day!! You super stars!

Moving forward….

I wonder…could you practice your spellings at least 3 times a week? 

You should be able to spell these words by the end of Year 4. 

Check out the spelling menu for some different ideas on how you could do this. 

Don’t forget to share them with us either in school or upload to the classroom so we can hand out some HoWL points!

It’s always great to get you all together and to celebrate lots of wonderful learning!

NSPCC maths day! – Crew Oldridge

4th February 2022Luke Oldridge

The picture says it all. So many wonderful maths related costumes! We even had a human calculator and a maths robot. To top it off everyone worked super hard in their maths sessions and Times Table Rock Star time. Well done class 13. Great effort!

Let’s support! Small changes that make a big difference!

28th January 2022Amy Faulding

Ariel are asking you to support their campaign by pledging to make a change!

Washing colder is a big step towards a brighter future for our planet because did you know, the temperature of your wash makes up to 60% of your laundry’s CO2 footprint?

Can you challenge friends and family to lower the temperature next time they do their laundry? When Ariel hit 1 million pledges, they will donate £100,000 to WWF’s climate, polar and wider conservation work. Not only this, but they will also make a donation for every Ariel pods cold wash special patch that is purchased too.

Can you help us with this and pledge to make a change? Follow the link…
