This afternoon, we held our first KS1 family learning event of the year. Thank you to all of the parents/carers who were able to join us to take part in some superhero skill based activities – water pistol shoot-out, archery and super strength tyre flipping to name just a few! We look forward to welcoming you into school again soon and hope you enjoyed our fun afternoon.

Class 7 – Another Fantastic Week
Well done to Class 7 on another fantastic week in Year 2. This week we have enjoyed lots of hook activities to engage us in our learning and we look forward to getting started with our expedition and Year 2 curriculum next week. We have enjoyed team games, such as tying ourselves into a human knot and working together to untangle ourselves … great problem solving boys and girls, keep it up!
Our Superhero dress up day has been fantastic and a huge thank you for everyone taking part – you all looked amazing. Here’s to a super weekend for you all!

Crew Barnett walk to the woods
We had a lovely walk out in the sun yesterday as we went to the woods. After learning about the layers and animals of the rainforest, we compared them to our local woods. We also saw the product that was created by previous students at Green Top.













KS1/Y2 – A Visit from our local Mayor
This morning, the children in KS1 were granted a meeting with Susan Durant our local Mayor where they found out all about her fantastic work in the community as well as the work of the local food bank. The children asked lots of questions about Susan’s work and experiences and were able to share the fabulous community work they have been getting up to these last two weeks. Susan was super impressed with the children and enjoyed her visit so much, including sharing a tasty lunch in our lunch hall. Thank you so much for visiting, Susan – we look forward to working with you again soon!
