All I can say is WOW! Our crew have had our ‘designer’ hats on during D&T this week to create packaging for the brownies we will bake in case study 3. Children did a great job of working to a design brief to create these appealing packaging. Like in the real world, the children made multiple drafts to ensure that the design was the best it could be.
Hi
As part of our phase expedition this week we designed a Mayan draft that we would like to transfer to our final products. There were some inspirational artists and I was blown away 😍
For those of you that don’t know, our product is going to be a box filled with professionally homemade brownies, made by each child in years 3 and 4, with the help of a fabulous lady who is going to help us. Check her facebook page out – sugar rush – and you will see what to expect!
These boxes of brownies will then get delivered to NHS, care and key workers in our community.
The children cannot wait!!!
Class 14 enjoying a game called dash, which is helping to improve and speed up their arithmetic skills. They were fantastic and I can already see improvements. Well done

Thanks to all who have entered the pumpkin competition. The deadline for entries is 12pm today. Unfortunately any entries received after this time will not be part of the judging. One winner per phase will be announced and all entries will receive a small treat on their return to school next Monday. Details of the competition are below:
🎃🍁🍂Happy half term 🎃🍁🍂
At Green Top we are sad that family learning can’t take place as it would usually in our classrooms and therefore we have pledged to have a family learning activity each half term for the whole school community to get involved with.
The first family learning challenge will be a ‘Carve or Decorate your own pumpkin’ competition. This competition will be judged on 31st October. There can be one entry per child and all entries must be entered by a photograph sent to [email protected] by the 12pm Tuesday 27th October. As photographs are entered they will be blogged on the website for all to see. All students who enter will receive a ‘treat’ on their return to school on 2nd November.
In addition one winner will be selected from each phase. Winners will be announced on October 31st.
Crew Mumby absolutely love Supermovers as part of our Magic Maths session. This week was the 6 times with Fred The red! It’s really helping us recall our times tables facts and also gets us up and active before our main learning. 
Here is a link to the blog post about school’s pumpkin competition!!! Make sure you check it out 😀
Big shoutout to Ruby, Henry, Bradley, Summer-Mai, Oliver, Miriam, and Ruby for the super work which they have been sending pictures of! We have got a range of expedition and maths learning. You have all done absolutely super! Keep up the fabulous work. 50HPs from Mr Mumby, Mr Oldridge, Mrs Shaw and Miss Thurkettle 😀
Keep an eye on our classroom to see some super learning, school updates, and more! Also, our homework menu is on there too if you feel like you want to complete some extra learning:)
Do you ever ask your child what they’ve been learning this week only to get told ‘nothing’ or ‘I can’t remember’.
To try and help with this, each year group will share a specific question each week about that weeks learning to try and help get the conversation going.
Let us know if it’s useful and helps children talk about their learning.

Thanks so much to Brooklyn and her mum for inspiring our learning in class 14 from home ♥️ Brooklyn was treated to a Wonka bar and because of her super attitude to school and how impressed her teaches have been, her mum surprised her with a golden ticket inside…the excitement in the classroom was fantastic!!!
Thanks so much for sharing it with us all Brooklyn, keep up the great work

Year 4 have just completed their first writing touchdown of this academic year and to say I am impressed is an understatement. The progress that the children have made in just a few weeks has amazed me but in particular, the pride they have taken in their work, the handwriting they are now using and the presentation has blown me away. Well done to all of class 14 but particularly Harrison, Ryan, Dexter, Jacob, Ruby and Jack deserved the headteachers award this week.
Well done guys…Mrs Shaw x
