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!

Mental Health Week in Crew 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.
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!
Year 3/4 Crew Assembly
A huge well done to this weeks HoWL point winners! You are all setting a great example to your crews by working hard, getting smart and being kind. Keep it up!
Also, a shout out to Crew Faulding, Crew Myers and Crew Barnett on getting 100% attendance last week. Let’s hope that we keep this momentum after half term too!
It’s always great to get you all together and to celebrate lots of wonderful learning!
NSPCC maths day! – Crew 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!
Team building in PE
It was great to see the children in mixed teams, working collaboratively and supporting one another!
Well done guys, it was fab to watch you demonstrate wonderful crew howls!
Let’s support! Small changes that make a big difference!
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…
Digital Leaders, we need you!
What a great hangout we had this morning with Jamie Portman about the launch of Digital Leaders.
We were joined with over 1200 other children and students from across the trust to learn about this new exciting role that is being launched to certain year groups across our schools.
Remember guys, if you are interested and think that this role would be perfect for you, you can apply through this link:

If you have any questions about this, pop and see Mr Taylor as he is our DL representative in school.
Good luck everyone!

Learning the skills of Netball in Year 4!
In PE over the last couple of weeks, we have been learning and mastering the skills that are required to play Netball. We’ve focussed on the throwing and catching techniques whilst also developing our accuracy skills to throw our balls in to the net.
Next week, we hope to look at the rules of a match and then applying these skills within a match.
Well done everyone!
Mr Oldridge, Mrs Faulding and Miss Myers x
