Year 3/4 are excited to celebrate their learning from this term for our expedition ‘From bean to bar: What is the cost of a bar of chocolate?’
Please join us on Thursday 4th July at 4.30pm to celebrate. More details will follow soon!
The children in History Club continued their learning on D Day tonight by adding to the 80th Anniversary commemoration display in the KS1 corridor. Children from all year groups have contributed work to the display and I am blown away by both the quality of the work, and the empathy shown in the content of the writing. We discussed the Normandy landings on the morning of the 6th of June 1944, and the children learned about the reasons behind the previous evening’s mass drop of paratroopers behind Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and how these brave men fought to capture and hold roads and bridges to secure a safer passage for those who were to follow in the beach attacks the next day.
There are still a few finishing touches to be added and photographs of the completed display will be blogged as soon as it is completed but here is a sneak preview…
Last Thursday, Learning Council was invited to be apart of the D Day service in Thorne Memorial Park. They stood and listened carefully and respectfully and then confidently stood and recited a D Day poem along with children from other primary schools from Thorne and Moorends.
It was an honour to go along and be a part of such a special occasion to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D Day landings and I was super proud of all the children!
Our KS2 children have all enjoyed their disco this evening … sweets, treats and plenty of dancing!! A big thank you to the Friends of GreenTop for organising this fab event for our children 🙂
At the end of this week we will be doing our spelling touchdown, if you could encourage children to practise these, that would be great! Feel free to send picture of them working hard for some HOWL points too.. Thank you, the Year 3 team!

Class 10 had the joy of Carolyne from Sugar Rush visiting us and teaching us more amazing facts about the Mayans. We loved it!
We loved even more having the chance to try delicious chocolate treats that were brought in. Thanks for the great afternoon!
Tomorrow is Year 3s XP Outdoors day.
Please can we remind all parents/carers to ensure that the children bring their XP outdoors kit with them tomorrow. This includes a change of clothes and footwear suitable for spending time outdoors (weather appropriate) as well as sunscreen / hat and a water bottle during particularly warmer weather.Â
Thank you! Year 3 + Mr K!
WOW what a fun morning year 3 have had! Mr Kershaw taught the children how to make brownies in oranges and cook them on the fire. The children practised fire safety and cooking all in the same lesson.
Following the Year 6 visit to Crucial Crew on Monday, a useful handout about keeping safe around dogs has been shared. Please share and discuss with your children.
