Class 9 | Diary Writing
In English this week, we have been looking at what features make a good diary entry. We then worked collaboratively to have a go at writing a good diary entry before reading them out to the rest of the class!

Class 9 – Home Learning
It’s been a busy week for Matilda who has been competing and earning medals for her dancing outside of school. She has also been working hard on her art skills and completed a digital drawing of our Victoria Cross recipient, George Wyatt VC! Great job Matilda.
Y3 & Y4 – Back to Learning with a Bang!
What a busy and exciting couple of days back in school for Year 3 and 4, where we have engaged with lots of valuable input from experts about our expedition topic – war and how it changes lives.
On Monday, we enjoyed a very informative zoom call with two wartime experts who talked us through the lives of children in WW2, as well as guiding us through the work done by women as part of the ‘home-front’.
Then today, we have enjoyed another visit by the Victoria Cross Trust:
Mick, who worked with us back at the start of our expedition, revisited us to share more information about the Victoria Cross medal and some of its recipients from Doncaster, in particular: Thomas Harper VC, Thomas Bryan VC and George Wyatt VC who we are writing biographies about to include in our final product.
And, Keith guided each class through Thorne Cemetery to identify and research the Common Wealth graves located there. We were fascinated by the soldiers that we learnt about and the visit really helped to highlight the importance of the upcoming Remembrance Day and how important it is to remember those who fought – and still do so – for our country. We will remember them!
To end our fantastic day, Keith presented us with some beautiful commemorative slate plaques which show each of the VC Soldiers that we are learning about and the act of bravery which led to them receiving their most prestigious award. We look forward to keeping these plaques in school and to future generations Green Top students benefitting from these going forwards.
