Thank you to all our parents and carers who could make it to our family learning session today. We hope you have enjoyed working with us to make some fancy light-up Easter cards using our new knowledge about electricity and simple circuits.

KS2 Choir – Young Voices 2025
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!

Y3/4 Family Learning
Parents and carers of year 3 and 4 children are warmly invited to this term’s Family Learning event which focuses on our latest Expedition and our current case study: electricity! The session will be fun and interactive, getting hands on with circuits! We look forward to seeing you there! Please note, due to us needing electrical equipment, year 3 and 4 will take place on separate days which are as follows:
Year 3 Family Learning: 30th January 1:45- 3pm
Year 4 Family Learning: 29th January 1:45 – 3pm
Year 3 Reminders and Updates
Just a few reminders for Year 3 now that we’ve settled back after the Christmas break:
- PE is on Mondays – please ensure your child has their PE kit with them.
- XP Outdoors is on Wednesdays – please ensure your child has appropriate outdoor wear with them for this activity.
- Please bring your school / AR reading book and reading diary to school everyday. You can find your login details for AR Reading and TTRS in your diary so this needs to be at school each day and at home each evening / weekend.
- Weekly spelling will be shared via the blog. Please check in and practise these at home.
For this half-term, Year 3 are lucky enough to be receiving an extra PE session from our partner, YourPE. This will take place each Friday morning starting tomorrow so please ensure your child has their PE kit on Fridays too.
Thank you for your ongoing support, Mrs Dutton and Mr Taylor.
Class 10 Are Backkkk!
Wow – what a crazy week and a half we have had settling back into school since the new year! Everybody came back so excited from their holidays, it was lovely to hear about everyone’s beautiful memories from Christmas 2024.
This term, our expedition is exploring the guiding question- what makes us human? and to hook us into our learning, the children have enjoyed a mix of different activities. We have made paper straw x-rays, play-dough digestive systems, giant squishy teeth and this week we’ve even managed to become electricians by investigating simple circuits in our first case study of science.
The fun doesn’t just stop at expedition though, as the children have been fully engaged with their new PE topic – dance, and they made a great first attempt at the All-Black’s Haka (check it out below – facial expressions and all!). And today, we have been working hard in our local community by litter picking in the KS2 playground – great job boys and girls!
On top of all this, it has been lovely to meet with you all for our SLC’s and if you haven’t managed to organise this with myself yet then please keep your eyes peeled for an email coming out with any remaining dates and times.
