Maths Orienteering with Crew Overson
Category : Mr Ambler’s Class
Crew Ambler – We are artists
Thank you to all the adults that joined us this morning for Family Learning. The children were amazing at showing the adults the grid method that we have been using to support us with our artwork. The children will be continue to draft and improve their artwork in our expedition lessons as we work towards creating our final drafts of Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks and Emmeline Pankhurst, which will form part of the Y5/6 product.

Well done to our Year 5/6 Crew champions for this week! Lots of awards for craftsmanship and quality, respect and courage!

On Tuesday 11th February, to mark Safer Internet Day, we will be hosting an e-Safety ‘drop in session’ for children and parents. The session will run from 14:00 – 15:00 and will involve some orienteering fun around the school grounds, with a link to e-Safety and staying safe online.

Parents and carers will be able to meet and collect children from the school hall. We look forward to seeing everyone!
Maths Week Activity 2!
Thank you to everyone who took part in the first activity of the week; we have had some fantastically creative work handed in! Are you ready for challenge two?
Maths is around us and we are constantly using language linked to maths in our everyday life. Can you create a poster that celebrates math vocabulary?
Your task is to create an A to Z poster! I wonder how creative you can make it….can you add images for each word? Which colours will you use?
Here is an example below although I know our children can do much better!
Well done to Adam who shared this amazing work for activity 1!
Maths Week 2025- Challenge 1
Maths Week 2025 is here, and we’re kicking things off with an exciting home learning challenge! This is your chance to get creative, have fun with numbers, and showcase your mathematical thinking.
For our first home learning challenge, we’d like you to choose a number and create a poster displaying different ways to represent it. You can show your number using:
- Numerals (e.g. 7)
- Words (e.g. seven)
- Pictures (e.g. seven stars)
- Number sentences (e.g. 3 + 4 = 7)
- Arrays
- Tally marks
- Money
- Anything else creative!
How to Take Part
- Choose a number that inspires you.
- Design and decorate your poster using any materials you like – be as colourful and imaginative as possible!
- Make sure your poster clearly shows your chosen number in a variety of ways.
- Submit your entry to Mr Mumby by Friday to take part in the challenge.
We can’t wait to see your fantastic ‘Ways to Show a Number’ posters! Get your thinking caps on, grab your pencils, and start creating.
Happy Maths Week!

KS2 Choir – Young Voices 2025
On Tuesday, I had the privilege of taking our KS2 choir to the Young Voices concert at the Utilita Arena. What an absolutely fantastic day and night we all had – even if we were all super tired afterwards!
A huge shoutout to all of the children for their awesome representation of Green Top and participating throughout the experience.
A big thank you to all of the family and friends that were able to come and support the event, we hope you enjoyed it as much as us!
Finally, an added shout out to the Year 6’s that make up our choir for your commitment each year to taking part in Young Voices – I really hope you enjoyed your last one and here’s a video to remember it all!
