Crew Mumby Reading Raffle Winners!

By C Mumby24th February 2020

In class 15, we have been taking part in a reading challenge in a drive to improve our reading skills. If the children scored over 90% in their comprehension quiz or vocabulary quiz then they received a raffle ticket. As it was the first day back we held the draw for last term. The lucky winners for Spring term 1 were Jayden, Hattie, Ewan and Jake.

Jake and Jayden chose Arsenal snoods kindly donated by a contact at Arsenal F.C

Hattie chose headphones, again donated by Arsenal and Ewan chose the huge bar of Toblerone!

Well done to everyone in class 15 who had tickets in the draw. I have been really impressed by the enthusiasm to read books in Accelerated Reader time.

Years 5 and 6 visit Trinity’s Lecture Theatre

By K overson10th February 2020

We had a great time today visiting Mr Humprey (Science Teacher) at Trinity Academy to listen to a lecture about space.  We learnt many new facts and also how to give a lecture to an audience.  Green Top staff were blown away by the amazing questions our children asked and the sophisticated facts they shared with each other.

Maths Week 2020

By K overson1st February 2020

We are very excited for maths week!

We will be celebrating maths and to do this we will be doing the following:

  • Each day you will be informed of a challenge you can complete at home and bring into school
  • At 3pm on Thursday (in the school hall), parents are invited to join the learning council to play maths games and look at how you can support your children with maths at home
  • Friday is NSPCC Maths day so we will be having a ‘maths’ dress up day (£1 donation) and a bun sale to raise money for the charity
  • Buns will be on sale for 50p (we will also be accepting donations of buns, cake and biscuits)

Please see the link below for dress up ideas and more information about NSPCC maths day:

Monday’s challenge is:  Who can find the oldest coin?  This needs to be a coin that you can currently spend in the UK.  Place in an envelop child’s name, the coin enclosed and date!  Good Luck!

Thanks
