In Year 3, we are learning all about non-chronological report writing so that we can write some amazing information texts about the body after half-term. To start us off, we have been exploring what a good non-chron report looks like and identifying the features we will need to include in our own writing.
Today, to celebrate National Story week, we enjoyed listening to Charlotte (our Crew Councillor) reading our story, The Wild Robot. Of course, McKenzie was on standby to help out and check that everyone was listening carefully! Well done 🙂 x
This morning in crew time, the children in Crew Jackson turned into little teachers and supported the children in Crew Dutton with their maths learning. Y6 showed the character traits of compassion and integrity by guiding the children through the task and I was blown away by how grown up they were. Well done Y3 on having the courage to work with Y6 – you were all superstars!
On Tuesday 11th February, to mark Safer Internet Day, we will be hosting an e-Safety ‘drop in session’ for children and parents. The session will run from 14:00 – 15:00 and will involve some orienteering fun around the school grounds, with a link to e-Safety and staying safe online.
Please book your place to attend the session with your children via the link below.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the first activity of the week; we have had some fantastically creative work handed in! Are you ready for challenge two?
Maths is around us and we are constantly using language linked to maths in our everyday life. Can you create a poster that celebrates math vocabulary?
Your task is to create an A to Z poster! I wonder how creative you can make it….can you add images for each word? Which colours will you use?
Here is an example below although I know our children can do much better!
Well done to Adam who shared this amazing work for activity 1!
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.
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.
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!
