Y5/6 Coffee afternoon- Presentation of Learning

9th June 2023Jillian Jackson

Dear parents and carers,

We would like to invite you to see our amazing expedition product from Spring term. Y5/6 will be holding a coffee afternoon in the hall on Monday 19th June, from 2:30-3:30 to view their final product and share their workbooks from this expedition.

If arriving before 3pm, please go the school office where you will be shown down to the hall and your child will be collected from their classroom to join you. If you are joining us after school at 3pm, then please collect your child from their classroom as normal and walk round to the hall together.

As always, thanks for your continued support, The Year 5 and Year 6 Staff Team

Y6: Children receive their leavers hoodies!

24th May 2023Chris Mumby

Well, this morning was such a lovely crew session with children receiving their leaver hoodies; they have been waiting eagerly for them for some time! Children are welcome and encouraged to wear their hoodies with pride for their final half term in school. I must say, they look absolutely fantastic in them! A special thanks to the Y6 staff, parents, Friends of Green Top and Adele at TOGs for their efforts in making this possible.

I am delighted to share key dates with you as we go into the final half term for our current Y6 children. More details will be communicated for our leavers trip and party shortly. As always, please contact me at [email protected] or speak to your child’s crew leader with any questions you may have. In the meantime, thank you for your continued support as we try and make their end of primary schooling as memorable as possible.

Kind regards

Take a look at the celebrations that happened across school over the last couple of weeks to celebrate the King’s Coronation – we all had lots of fun!

An extra shout out to the KS2 choir for singing the backing vocals to the video.

Hope you all enjoy!

A letter to our Y6 children:

10th May 2023Chris Mumby

Dear Y6,                           

You’ve worked incredibly hard this year and we’re proud of your effort this week to do your very best. Remember, SATs don’t have the ability to test everything though. As you know from ‘crew’ learning is 3-way: character, beautiful work and academic success leads to the best version of you. Unfortunately, SATs cannot measure all of those things. 

The SATs test do not assess all of what makes each of you special and unique. The people who create these tests, mark them and set the boundaries do not know each of you the way we do. They do not know the learning journey you’ve travelled and still travel. 

They do not know that some of you attend numerous clubs or that you can sing, dance or draw. They do not know that you take part in sports or participate in making your community a better place through expeditions. They do not know ways in which you show compassion to your peers and the ways in which you are kind, thoughtful and helpful.

The score you get from the tests will tell you something but it will not tell you everything. There are many ways to be ‘smart’. You ARE smart! Finally, most importantly remember, there is no way to ‘test’ all of the amazing and fantastic things that make you, you! 

Thank you again for being part of the best crew ever and for working so hard,

Mr Ambler, Mrs Jackson and Mr Mumby
