Spring ‘Reading Raffle’ Winners

A big well done to our four Reading Raffle winners today! Enjoy your Easter goodies!

Hard work pays off when you’re scoring 80% or more on your Accelerated Reader quizzes. The more quizzes you pass, the more raffle tickets you get to put in the pot!

I wonder who will be our winners next term?!

Year 4 Family Learning/Celebration of Learning

We had a fantastic afternoon yesterday celebrating our autumn Year 3/4 product- our TikTok videos. Children loved seeing all of their hard work payoff by watching themselves and their crew on screen in the hilariously creative, but factual short clips about the Roman Empire. We hope that you all enjoyed them too? Don’t forget that if you would like to share these clips with family and friends they are on our Green Top School you tube page.

We also had our family learning event yesterday afternoon too for our most recent expedition ‘Why should we protect our beautiful planet?’. We linked family learning to Case Study 3 which was a music focus and of course had a music quiz!! There was such a lovely buzz in the air with excited and enthusiastic children (and grown ups) all ready to test their musical knowledge.

Thank you to everyone who came, it was great to have you all back in school, face to face to celebrate the wonderful work that our children work so hard to achieve. Your support is appreciated, as always!

A lovely end to a lovely, but busy term this morning in our crew phase meeting’s.

Well done to everyone in both Year 3 and 4 for working so hard this term- we are very proud of the beautiful work that you have produced!

Enjoy your Easter break and we can’t wait to circle back up again as a phase in two weeks!

KIXX!

This afternoon, Year 4 was lucky enough to have an extra KIXX session. It was great to see everyone from all three Crews taking part in all of the activities, remembering the skills they were taught earlier in the year from their sessions and also enjoying the lovely sunshine!

Year 3/4 Phase Meeting

Well done to everyone on being our HoWL point winners this week. As always, it’s wonderful to hear all of the lovely shout outs about our wonderful year 3 and 4 crews.

Next week will be our last meeting of the term and we can’t wait to celebrate our attendance winners, accelerated reader winners and overall HoWL point winners. Watch this space!

WORLD WATER DAY!

Yesterday, ‘Tuesday 22nd March’ was World Water Day! So, today in Community Crew, we looked into ways that we can preserve water and how this will help our environment.

We all made a pledge for how we can support the preservation of water and what this might look like in school and at home.

Here’s a short video sharing lots of different ways we can save water.

Fire Safety Talk -Year 4

We discussed good and bad fires, smoke alarms, stop drop and roll, phoning 999 and what to do and what an escape plan is and what it would look like.

All staff have been really impressed by how respectful the children were this afternoon and their involvement and participation. It was great to see what you already knew about this topic and sharing your knowledge with your crew.

Well done everyone.

Assessment Prep!

Yesterday, we worked in pairs to support each other through a practice arithmetic paper. We discussed the key calculations that we should be doing on certain questions in order to find the correct answer. This was such a helpful process for everyone, especially when we are able to pull on each persons strengths and the areas that they feel the most confident in.

We debriefed in a circle by discussing that even though our assessment will have different numbers, the calculations will still be the same. This definitely boosted our confidence ready for our arithmetic assessment!

I’m really proud to see you working as a crew today! Keep it up!

Recording at XP!

What a day we’ve had visiting XP today to record our song for our product.

So so beyond proud of how you’ve all pushed yourselves out of your comfort zone to do this. To perform and sing in front of others is such a brave thing to do and look at you all today. Stood in a recording studio, ready to perform and record our own song, written by YOU!!

We can’t wait for you all to hear our song “Dear World” that we’ve created alongside other primary schools from the XP trust. It’s going to be amazing!!

Won’t be long now until the big reveal!
