I am so proud of the work and effort that everyone has put into their instruction writing this morning. Every single person did their best and produced handwriting of the highest quality. Keep it up and more pictures of their beautiful writing to come!
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
Choose a number that inspires you.
Design and decorate your poster using any materials you like – be as colourful and imaginative as possible!
Make sure your poster clearly shows your chosen number in a variety of ways.
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.
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!
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!
Arnie has been looking at the different things that are powered by electricity in his home. He has made a bar chart to record how many different items he can find for each category. Well done Arnie!
