Another fantastic Year 5 and 6 phase meeting this morning, full of shout outs and praises for hard work and acts of kindness. Well done everybody!
Extra special congratulations go to this week’s HOWL points winners and our Out of this World champions … could it be you next week?
This morning, Y5 and Y6 visited Trinity to listen to a science lecture linked to their expedition about space and forces. This gave them the opportunity to experience what it is like to give a lecture and present their learning. This will support them in preparing their own for our celebration of learning.
Well done everyone for being great ambassadors for Green Top, with excellent learning attitudes and behaviour whilst on our visit. I know you impressed Mr Taylor, Head of Science, with your subject knowledge.
Please find a link below to a SPaG revision website that I have created to support the children in developing their knowledge of grammar, punctuation and spelling rules. This knowledge is tested on the Year 6 SPaG papers.

I hope you find it useful and it supports any learning at home. I will continue to add to it throughout the year and set homework linked to areas we need to focus on.
Thank you
Mrs Jackson
Last week, Crew Mumby wrote like scientists in their touchdown pieces of writing. Some children chose to write up an experiment based on air resistance whilst others chose to write about water resistance. We talked about the formality of the piece, ensuring we included scientific vocabulary and that scientific theories were explained clearly. Our reports included data that we had collected in our science lessons which also supported our conclusions. I have really enjoyed reading these this weekend, Crew Mumby- Great work!
A great time was had by all Y6 children who undertook the Bikeability program. Bikeability has equipped our children with the skills and confidence to ride safely on the roads. Thank you to the Morris and the team from Bikeability who have spent 2 weeks at Green Top developing these important life skills with our Y6 children.
This morning was our first opportunity to come together as a phase crew since returning to school after the half-term. It was a great to hear what everybody had been learning in class this week and to celebrate a fantastic start to the term – well done everybody, keep up the fab work!
Special shout outs for those children receiving HOWLs certificates today, and to our OOTW champions too. Who will be celebrating next week?
Another Thursday, another fabulous assembly for Years 5 and 6! Well done to all our HoWLs and OOTW winners and thank you to the parents who were able to join us.
A reminder that Accelerated Reader minutes are being counted so keep up that practice at home!
We had a number of requests for additional homework at our Y6 network. As we have just finished our ‘place value’ unit of study, I have complied questions from previous test papers for children to complete at home. You should find a range of questions linked to place value, ordering numbers, negative numbers and rounding.
Share any photos or work to [email protected] as we like to celebrate hard work in our phase community meetings
Thanks, Mr Mumby
Thanks to all parents who attended the Y6 meeting; I have attached the slides as promised. Please email me at [email protected] for any further details.
Together we are crew,
Mr Mumby
