Maths Week Activity 2!

5th February 2025Chris Mumby

Thank you to everyone who took part in the first activity of the week; we have had some fantastically creative work handed in! Are you ready for challenge two?

Maths is around us and we are constantly using language linked to maths in our everyday life. Can you create a poster that celebrates math vocabulary?

Your task is to create an A to Z poster! I wonder how creative you can make it….can you add images for each word? Which colours will you use?

Here is an example below although I know our children can do much better!

Well done to Adam who shared this amazing work for activity 1!

2nd February 2025Chris Mumby

Maths Week 2025 is here, and we’re kicking things off with an exciting home learning challenge! This is your chance to get creative, have fun with numbers, and showcase your mathematical thinking.

For our first home learning challenge, we’d like you to choose a number and create a poster displaying different ways to represent it. You can show your number using:

  • Numerals (e.g. 7)
  • Words (e.g. seven)
  • Pictures (e.g. seven stars)
  • Number sentences (e.g. 3 + 4 = 7)
  • Arrays
  • Tally marks
  • Money
  • Anything else creative!

How to Take Part

  1. Choose a number that inspires you.
  2. Design and decorate your poster using any materials you like – be as colourful and imaginative as possible!
  3. Make sure your poster clearly shows your chosen number in a variety of ways.
  4. Submit your entry to Mr Mumby by Friday to take part in the challenge.

We can’t wait to see your fantastic ‘Ways to Show a Number’ posters! Get your thinking caps on, grab your pencils, and start creating.

Happy Maths Week!

Class 9 | Family Learning!

30th January 2025Jake Taylor

A fun afternoon for everyone as we spent it building electrical circuits. Our aim was to create a fan using batteries, wires and a motor to make the propellers spin around. It was great to see so many getting involved with the activity as well as testing different circuits to see how it affects the speed of the fan when additional batteries are added or the size of the propeller decreases.

Please feel free to take a look at, or even add to, our Padlet from the session!

KS2 Choir – Young Voices 2025

30th January 2025Sophie Myers

On Tuesday, I had the privilege of taking our KS2 choir to the Young Voices concert at the Utilita Arena. What an absolutely fantastic day and night we all had – even if we were all super tired afterwards!

A huge shoutout to all of the children for their awesome representation of Green Top and participating throughout the experience.

A big thank you to all of the family and friends that were able to come and support the event, we hope you enjoyed it as much as us!

Finally, an added shout out to the Year 6’s that make up our choir for your commitment each year to taking part in Young Voices – I really hope you enjoyed your last one and here’s a video to remember it all!
