In English this morning we have been building background knowledge about electricity in preparation for our science investigation. We have been reading all about conductors, insulators, energy sources and many other interesting things that will help us to carry out the test.

Maths Week
The week beginning 30th January will be ‘Maths Week’ and we will have lots of fun things happening in school to raise the profile of maths.
Below are some dates that you may want to know in advance:
Thursday 2nd February 2pm – 4pm : Maths drop in session
Join us in the hall to play some fun maths games with your child/ren between the times of 2pm and 4pm. Feel free to drop in at anytime between these times. This will be led by the Learning Council so please come along to support.
Friday 3rd February: NSPCC Number dress up day!
On Friday 3rd, we are encouraging the children to dress up in maths and number related outfits to raise money for the NSPCC charity. Suggested donation is £1.
Class 13 – New Expedition 💡🔋
Today we have been looking at our new expedition, ’The Power of Life: What fuels us?’, but more specifically Physics, which is our first case study. We looked at some of the everyday items that are powered using electricity as well as looking at the ways in which electricity is generated. We then created a poster to show some of the ways we can make ourselves more sustainable.

Class 13 – Christmas Jumper Day 🎄
Take a look at some of the Christmas jumpers on show in Class 13!
Y3/4 Christmas Costumes
Thank you to those that have fetched their costumes in to school so we can start to get prepared. If you haven’t already, please can you think about sending your child’s costume in this week so we can practise dress rehearsals etc.
Don’t forget that there is a limited amount of costumes in school that we can use so please speak to teacher’s if needed.
We are looking forward to sharing our Christmas production with you on Tuesday 13th December!
Thanks

Y5/6 Community Crew Meeting
Another week, another lovely opportunity to get our Y5 and Y6 crews together to celebrate all things Green Top!
Lots of shout outs for yesterday’s trip to Trinity by the athletics team – well done all for coming 2nd overall. And, more shout outs across the phase for some fantastic collaboration going into preparing our lectures on space for next week – we can’t wait to see you there.
A huge well done to all of our HOWL point winners as well as our OOTW champions too, and thank you to those parents who were able to join us as part of their celebration.
Year 3/4 HoWL Point Winners
Well done guys for being the winner of your crews for Being Kind, Working Hard and Getting Smart. This was our last crew assembly before Christmas and it’s been lovely to hear such lovely things from your crew members.
A shout out to Crew Faulding for being our whole crew HoWL point winners for a second week in a row! You should all be extremely proud of how hard you are working and for achieving lots of HoWL points! You stars!
The Year 3 and 4 Team x
Year 3/4 Christmas production and costumes
Year 3 and 4’s Christmas production will take place on Tuesday 13th December with a 9.30am start. An email will be sent with further details soon.
Christmas parts with costume ideas have been allocated to those children who wanted a part and your child should have fetched a letter home. We do also have some costumes in school so please speak to class teachers if you would like to use this option.
If your child has not received one, it is because they have opted to be in the choir and can just wear normal clothes but with a Christmas element such as a Christmas jumper.
Please send your costumes in to school once you have them so we can support where needed.
If you have any further questions, please speak to class teachers.
As always, thank you for your support!
