Yesterday, Class 16 put their learning about the phases of the moon to the test by making a poster using Oreo biscuits. We worked in collaborative groups to shape the biscuits so they represented the different shapes of the lunar cycle and labelled them in order. Then, of course, we tucked in to enjoy!
Today, we have worked collaboratively to model how the earth, sun and moon relate to one another. We used torches to explore how the seasons and day/night occur during different times of the day or year. We then presented our models back to the class. Well done everyone – some fabulous new knowledge in action!

Year 6 have completed their crew building fun at Hatfield this afternoon by switching activities, with Crew Mumby and part of Crew Ambler enjoying some time on the waterpark.
A huge well done to everyone involved, activity centre staff who have worked with us today were full of praise for the children and our school – tremendous behaviour and attitudes all round, we are so proud of you all!
It’s been a great morning at Hatfield for Y6 so far! Crew Jackson and part of Crew Ambler have enjoyed the waterpark to start whilst Crew Mumby and part of Crew Ambler have challenged themselves with archery and rock climbing.
Lunchtime now to refuel before switching activities for the afternoon.
Super crew building and fun all round! Watch this space for more updates and photos.
Hi,
Mr Ambler, Mrs Jackson and I are looking forward to welcoming you all back next week. Following a few requests over the holidays I am reposting the kit list that we sent out before the holidays. Enjoy your final weekend of the holidays and we will see you all on Tuesday 30th August!
Thanks
Mr Mumby
It has been a fabulous end to the term by welcoming our new Y5’s to the phase. This week we have spent time developing our new crews through establishing crew norms, creating collaborative art work, creating a crew song amongst other exciting activities. As Y6 have their current teachers again, their transition looked slightly different. Working around the extreme heat this week, that children coped incredibly well with, Y6 children took part in service learning by throughly cleaning the areas around school by litter picking and making our school look the best it can be. We made a stand by creating eye-catching posters that we intend on placing on the fences around the school, particularly the entrance to school. Following this, we had a continental brunch as a reward for our hard work and as a treat for attendance this academic year. This week has been fantastic, I am proud of every single child in our new crew. I’m certain we’re going to have an outstanding and memorable year as a new phase crew.
Wishing everyone a restful and enjoyable Summer break.
A massive shout out to everyone in Crew Jackson for working so hard on making our KS2 playground and field litter free. They could not believe the amount of rubbish that they collected and are now hoping that everyone else starts to take responsibility for looking after our school environment. They will be giving out reminders and I am sure they will not be happy if they spot anyone being a ‘litter bug’!
Challenge: Who can make the tallest free-standing tower using only paper, masking tape and 5 elastic bands?
Great team work this morning by everyone this morning; listening to each others ideas, problem solving and motivation to be the best!
Check out the photos below!
A massive thank you to all the parents and carers that joined us this evening for our Y5/6 Celebration of Learning. It was lovely to listen to the children read and speak so confidently and clearly outside in the sunshine.
We then got to showcase our science videos in the hall whilst enjoying popcorn and fruit kebabs. I think we definitely have some budding actors and actresses at Green Top!
The videos will be blogged soon for us all to share.
Thank you all supporting us tonight.
The Y5/6 Staff Team
