Bikeability
A great time was had by all Y6 children who undertook the Bikeability program. Bikeability has equipped our children with the skills and confidence to ride safely on the roads. Thank you to the Morris and the team from Bikeability who have spent 2 weeks at Green Top developing these important life skills with our Y6 children.
Crew Jackson – Exploring gears, pulleys and levers
This morning we explored different mechanisms – gears, pulleys and levers. We learnt how they work, what they were used for and explored using them in the classroom. Well done everyone for using the correct technical vocabulary when describing your learning.
Class 16 – Investigating Fabulous Forces
This week, Class 16 have been learning all about forces as part of our science-focused expedition looking at space. We have conducted experiments to learn more about gravity, air resistance, water resistance and friction.
Why not ask us more about our investigations and test our knowledge about how parachutes can help slow vehicles down or how streamlining an object can make it move faster in water?
Take a look at our air resistance investigation, where we made different sized parachutes to see how they affected the drop time of an object:
Y5 / Y6 Community Crew and OOTW
This morning was our first opportunity to come together as a phase crew since returning to school after the half-term. It was a great to hear what everybody had been learning in class this week and to celebrate a fantastic start to the term – well done everybody, keep up the fab work!
Special shout outs for those children receiving HOWLs certificates today, and to our OOTW champions too. Who will be celebrating next week?
Crew Jackson – Collaborative maths
Wow! Today I was blown away by the hard work of all members of Crew Jackson. We showed fantastic collaborative skills in our maths lesson. I heard great mathematical discussions about methods and calculations they should use to solve a range of problems. Watching the ‘be kind’ norms of patience and encouragement when a peer was finding something difficult was wonderful to see. I loved listening to fantastic explanations of strategies for solving problems as they coached each other. Keep up the hard work Crew Jackson – you were just super stars all day! 😊

Y5/6 Community Phase Meeting
Another Thursday, another fabulous assembly for Years 5 and 6! Well done to all our HoWLs and OOTW winners and thank you to the parents who were able to join us.
A reminder that Accelerated Reader minutes are being counted so keep up that practice at home!
Y6/Class 16 catch up
We’ve had a great start to our week in Class 16 – lots of hard work and getting smart! We also enjoyed a lovely hangout with Mrs Jackson in our morning crew session today.
A big shout out to Oliver who has completed some beautiful home learning this week, including extending the coding activity from our family learning event to code the moon traveling around the earth as it moves around the earth. Well done, Oliver!
As this week is all about celebrating reading, we have also enjoyed a visit by one of our school learning councillors to read us a story at the end of the day. Thank you to Faith from Y5.
Today, we are busy writing up our space crisis narratives in neat … working quietly and developing our stamina for extended writing.
Place Value Revision (Y6)
We had a number of requests for additional homework at our Y6 network. As we have just finished our ‘place value’ unit of study, I have complied questions from previous test papers for children to complete at home. You should find a range of questions linked to place value, ordering numbers, negative numbers and rounding.

Thanks, Mr Mumby
