Class 11 have also completed some active reading learning today, whereby we learnt all about conductors and insulators! This was a great way to build background knowledge for our next learning of CS1, but also improve on our learning skills!
Today, Class 11 have been creating more circuits in preparation for their results section of their scientific report. They have included a switch this time to see how it would affect the flow of electricity in a simple series circuit. See below images of how Class 11 managed to get the circuits working!
The week beginning 30th January will be ‘Maths Week’ and we will have lots of fun things happening in school to raise the profile of maths.
Below are some dates that you may want to know in advance:
Thursday 2nd February 2pm – 4pm : Maths drop in session
Join us in the hall to play some fun maths games with your child/ren between the times of 2pm and 4pm. Feel free to drop in at anytime between these times. This will be led by the Learning Council so please come along to support.
Friday 3rd February: NSPCC Number dress up day!
On Friday 3rd, we are encouraging the children to dress up in maths and number related outfits to raise money for the NSPCC charity. Suggested donation is £1.
Here is a little update of Class 11s first two week backs after Christmas, now that photos are full working!
In our hook week, we looked into our first Case Study, which will look at electricity and other fuels. We thought it was a great idea to walk around school and search for different electrical appliances. We found so many!
As part of our Case Study 2 hook day, we were looking at biology and more specifically flowers. We labelled the different parts of our artistic flowers and created some beautiful designs!
Next, we looked at the other part of Case Study 2, which will be looking into humans. We created some really fantastic x-rays, so lets hope these are the only x-rays for Class 11 this year!
This week we have started our Case Study fully and have developed our knowledge further of electricity and more specifically circuits. We worked well collaboratively and persevered to make the different circuits light up. Not only can we make circuits, we can name the components of a circuit!
Other great learning has taken place and more beautiful work has been produced, which we can’t wait to continue sharing!
On a personal note, thank you Class 11 for making me feel very welcome and a part of the Crew. Let’s keep being amazing and producing more wonderful work. Happy weekend, guys! 😆
Today, Class 11 have been making their very own circuits, using electrical components that we have been learning about during Expedition. We absolutely loved making these, despite the challenge they offered. Some of us managed to get two bulbs working, whilst a few of us showed tremendous determination to get the switch working! See below for the fun we had:
Wishing these beautiful little faces a very Merry Christmas!
What a busy week we’ve had in Class 11 this week- finishing off our expedition product, making our christmas fair product, designing wood cookies, christmas cards and calendars, as well as pulling off an outstanding performance at the church on Tuesday.
You all blow myself and Miss O’Neill away with your resilience to keep going, always eager to complete the next thing, wanting to do your best and make us proud, and proud you have certainly made us.
It has been an absolute privilege to teach you all this term. Thank you so much for making it so special, I’ve enjoyed every second with you all 🥰💚
Now, go off and enjoy your well earned break, make lots of wonderful memories with your families and friends. We will be here waiting to hear all about them in January.
Lots of love,
Mrs Faulding and Miss O’Neill xxx
Thank you to those that have fetched their costumes in to school so we can start to get prepared. If you haven’t already, please can you think about sending your child’s costume in this week so we can practise dress rehearsals etc.
Don’t forget that there is a limited amount of costumes in school that we can use so please speak to teacher’s if needed.
We are looking forward to sharing our Christmas production with you on Tuesday 13th December!
Thanks

We have a new member in our class- he’s small, dressed in red and left a trail of magical dust, its our new elf, Sparkle.
We are very excited to show him how amazing we are at Green Top! He will love being with us so much that we doubt he will want to go back to the North Pole.
We are going to blow him away by our abilities to work hard, be kind and get smart!

Well done guys for being the winner of your crews for Being Kind, Working Hard and Getting Smart. This was our last crew assembly before Christmas and it’s been lovely to hear such lovely things from your crew members.
A shout out to Crew Faulding for being our whole crew HoWL point winners for a second week in a row! You should all be extremely proud of how hard you are working and for achieving lots of HoWL points! You stars!
The Year 3 and 4 Team x
