Come and join in with the fun on Kahoot as part of our home learning! We have done quizzes on deforestation, subordinate clauses and Christmas food (this one was just for fun!).
Well done to today’s winners! Look out for more Kahoot fun tomorrow!
In our expedition lessons this week, we have been looking at different types of animals including mammals, reptiles and amphibians. We have been looking at what characteristics make up each group and classifying animals based on those characteristics.
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.
Well done to Keira who has been this week’s ‘Out of this World’
A big well done to Keira and Olivia who have produced some fantastic homework this week! In our expedition lessons, we have been looking at life cycles and the girls have gone away and created some beautiful work to build on their knowledge. Well done girls, keep it up!
Well done to Alan this week who has been taking part in additional home learning. Alan has gone away and continued to develop his knowledge on mammals, birds, insects and amphibians, building on from his learning in expedition this week. Keep up the great work Alan!
In expedition this week, the children have been working on their collage skills. We have been focusing mainly on the background this week and in particular the forest floor, where we have blended different shades of brown and green. Some children have also managed to move onto their skies where they have layered different shades of blue together. They’re all looking fab!
In our English lessons this week, we have been researching forest fires and the impact that they are having across the world. The children have been conducting their own research that they will then use to create a non-chronological report.
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.
