Red Nose Day – Friday 17th March

Red Nose Day 2023: New red nose by iPhone designer - CBBC Newsround

To celebrate Comic Relief this year, we are inviting you to come to school dressed in red with a suggested donation of £1.

This years merchandise includes many different Mr Men and Little Miss characters.

As part of Red Nose Day we are launching our very own Design a T-shirt Competition!

If you want to take part, all you need to do is design your very own Red Nose Day t-shirt and bring it with you on Friday 17th March.

Get creative and design it in any way you want! You might want to draw a picture, paint it or even create a t-shirt you can wear on the day.

Each crew will vote for their winning design to be entered into a whole school competition. Have you got what it takes to be our winning design? Good Luck! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

YOUNG VOICES 2023!

On the Friday we broke up for half term, I had the privilege of taking some of our KS2 Choir to Young Voices at the Utilita Arena, Sheffield. It was lovely to see lots of new friendships being built and children supporting and encouraging each other. A HUGE shoutout for the superb behaviour too which was shown by the children, they represented our school brilliantly.

Thank you to all of the adults that supported the event either buying tickets, coming along to watch the show or collecting children from school afterwards it is greatly appreciated!

Myself, Mrs Faulding, Mrs Cook, Miss Nolan and Miss Kelly even enjoyed singing along and learning the dance moves too – we were all very proud and already looking forward to next year!

Well done everyone! x

World Book Day

Green Top will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March and this will be a dress up event.

We can’t wait to see which book character you decide to be but please don’t feel that you have to buy a costume – we love seeing the homemade ones!

Save the date - World Book Day | World Book Day is a registered charity.  Our mission is to give every child and young person a book of their own.

Science Club Investigations

We’ve had a busy few weeks in science club and have some great pictures to share. Last week, we investigated with skittles. We predicted whether cold, warm or hot water would make the colours run the quickest. After, we found out that the hot water made the colours run quicker. This was because the particles in the hot water move quicker than in cold, making the colour rub off quicker.

Today, Kianna, Eleanor and Annabelle presented their choice of investigation – DIY Lava Lamps. We talked about how liquids can have different densities and this means that oil and water will stay separate. We added some bicarbonate of soda and watch the bubbles of gas move up.

Your challenge – Can you make your own lava lamps over half term? You could investigate how adding vinegar or lemon juice changes the reaction. You might want to try turning off the lights and adding a torch to get an even better effect. Make sure you take some pictures of your investigations!

YOUNG VOICES REMINDER – FRIDAY 10th FEBRUARY!

Young Voices is NEARLY here!! Children will be leaving school at 12pm to arrive at Utilita Arena in time for rehearsals to start at 1pm. Children will have lunch early in school before leaving.

Children will need a packed lunch for their tea and plenty to drink – We will be having an hour at 5pm for children to be able to eat in the arena before the concert begins.

I have received all of the children’s T-Shirts and Torches and will distribute them to the children on the day. Children should come to school in their usual school uniform and can change their T-Shirts before we leave.

Concert Times:

Venue doors open at 6pm for all adults who are attending. The Concert starts at 7pm and finishes at 8:45pm. All adult tickets will be given to children by the end of tomorrow to bring home at 3pm. There is also a letter that gives further information about parking.

All children are to return to school on the coach and no children will be permitted to leave the arena with their parents. The coach will drop everyone off at the main school gates at approximately 9:45pm.
