XP Climate Conference ’22

16th July 2022Sophie Myers

On Thursday Evening, Miss Tortora and I had the pleasure of attending a learning celebration at XP East. It was a fantastic event to raise awareness of the impacts of Climate Change and what we can do as a community to help.

A huge shoutout to all of the children from across the Primary schools that attended and presented in front of over a hundred people. They shared their learning journey from our Spring Expedition ’Why should we protect our beautiful planet?’ In particular a big thank you to Thia, JJ and Georgia, along with their parents that represented Green Top. An added shout out to Jersey and Dexter for being a HUGE help selling the CD’s on our stall.

It was a great way to celebrate and showcase our Final Product and music video!

Making memories to last a lifetime! Crew Faulding and Crew Myers

15th July 2022Amy Faulding

We celebrated our last full day together in style!

We used our well earned attendance money from the whole year to have a breakfast fit for a 5 * all inclusive resort- with amazing waitress service (myself, Miss Myers and Mr O).

Then to end the day, we went in to battle with an all mighty water fight. A special thank you to all children for making sure that we all got royally drenched. Poor Mr O couldn’t put his shoes back on for 3 hours afterwards!

It has been a special day to remember with lots of laughs and smiles.

We are crew!!

Year 3/4: Football Tournament at XP

11th July 2022Luke Oldridge

On Friday, a small number of year 3/4 children had the wonderful opportunity to play in a football tournament with another school in our Trust (Plover). A big ‘shout-out’ to all the children for working hard and being kind. It made the afternoon competitive and very enjoyable. A special ‘shout-out’ to Niah for being player of the tournament – you worked your socks off for your team and never said a negative thing to anyone. A thank you to all the parents involved in taking the children and returning them, to Mr Overson for all your help and to Mr Mead (of Plover) for arranging a fantastic afternoon.

Year 3 and 4: GTGT 2022

6th July 2022Amy Faulding

Yesterday it was fantastic to see so many talented children perform for us in our phase crew meeting. We were blown away by the efforts and dedication that you all put in to practising and performing your acts.

It’s not an easy thing to get up and perform in front of an audience but you all smashed it and it showed such brilliant character growth for getting up there and having a go!

We are so proud of you!!

**We have voted in our crews today so we will be announcing the Year 3/4 winner tomorrow!**

Watch this space but you definitely all deserve 50 HoWL points for working hard!

Thank you, the year 3/4 team 🙂 x

Year 4: Sports Day!

6th July 2022Amy Faulding

What a fab morning we had on Monday at our 2022 Sports Day!

Great to see everyone having a go and trying new things that are out of their comfort zones. A true highlight for the staff was hearing the cheers of encouragement from everyone from different crews- you were all so supportive of each other!

A huge well done to Crew Myers on being the overall champs!

You all smashed it and we are so proud of you all!

Staff crew tonight 💚

6th July 2022Aime Shaw

Staff took part in their own staff crew sports day tonight. We felt exactly the same as some of the children did on sports day, when we were put outside of our comfort zone.

There were some falls, some competitiveness and lots of laughs!

What a great staff crew we have

Year 3 and 4 Celebration of Learning

1st July 2022Rebecca Barnett

It was great to see so many people at our celebration of learning on Tuesday. The children did a great job of sharing their learning from our expedition ‘Why is sugar not so sweet?’

As part of our celebration, we had a competition to guess how many sweets were in the jar. This was to help us raise even more money for our chosen charity – City Hearts. Congratulations to Isla for getting the closest guess of 260! The jar actually had 265 sweets in it!

Crew Faulding: Our D&T Case Study

1st July 2022Amy Faulding

What a busy couple of weeks we’ve had designing and making our final product.

We’ve loved seeing our fabric design prints come to life. We’ve thought carefully about what would make them successful and fit for purpose and how they would look effective on the top of our jars.

We were proud to stick on our Green Top Goodies stickers and to place our fabrics on top, now to fill them up with our Rice Krispie treats ready to eat over the weekend!

Super proud of you all- they look awesome!!!
