Crew Jackson – academic crew
This morning in academic crew, we shared our final touchdown newspaper reports with a partner. We discussed our feedback and critique. Finally we went on to debrief by identifying something we were proud of in our writing and something we needed to work on to further improve our writing.
I am so proud of everyone for firstly producing fantastic writing and then being able to identify next steps.
Red Nose Day – Friday 17th March
To celebrate Comic Relief this year, we are inviting you to come to school dressed in red with a suggested donation of £1.
This years merchandise includes many different Mr Men and Little Miss characters.
As part of Red Nose Day we are launching our very own Design a T-shirt Competition!
If you want to take part, all you need to do is design your very own Red Nose Day t-shirt and bring it with you on Friday 17th March.
Get creative and design it in any way you want! You might want to draw a picture, paint it or even create a t-shirt you can wear on the day.
Each crew will vote for their winning design to be entered into a whole school competition. Have you got what it takes to be our winning design? Good Luck! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Crew Jackson – Human Right Protests at the World Cup
This afternoon we looked at the more recent history of human rights. There were a number of protests at the Qatar World Cup linked to equal rights and diversity. We particularly explored the protests made linked to the banning of the One Love armband and women’s rights in Iran.
Crew Jackson – Features of a Biography
Today we began a new cycle in English; our next piece of writing will be a biography linked to a significant person from our expeditionary learning. The children read a biography about Tom Daley and identified many of the features linked to layout and structure; they also recognised many of the grammatical devices and punctuation we have been working on our the last few months.
Well done guys on a great first day back!
Y5 & Y6 Community Crew
This week saw another fantastic community crew meeting for our upper KS2 crews. Congratulations to all of the fabulous HoWL point winners and OOTW superstars! Who will it be when we return after half-term?
World Book Day
Green Top will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March and this will be a dress up event.
We can’t wait to see which book character you decide to be but please don’t feel that you have to buy a costume – we love seeing the homemade ones!
Science Club Investigations
We’ve had a busy few weeks in science club and have some great pictures to share. Last week, we investigated with skittles. We predicted whether cold, warm or hot water would make the colours run the quickest. After, we found out that the hot water made the colours run quicker. This was because the particles in the hot water move quicker than in cold, making the colour rub off quicker.
Today, Kianna, Eleanor and Annabelle presented their choice of investigation – DIY Lava Lamps. We talked about how liquids can have different densities and this means that oil and water will stay separate. We added some bicarbonate of soda and watch the bubbles of gas move up.
Your challenge – Can you make your own lava lamps over half term? You could investigate how adding vinegar or lemon juice changes the reaction. You might want to try turning off the lights and adding a torch to get an even better effect. Make sure you take some pictures of your investigations!
Crew Jackson – Internet Safety Day
Today was ‘Safer Internet Day’ across the country. In Crew Jackson we spent the morning exploring ‘cyberbullying’ – what it is and how we should deal with it. The children created posters and leaflets to support them in making the right choice when using online apps and games. We watched a number of videos and participated in an online live lesson through CBBC.
This afternoon we learnt what a digital footprint is and created our own by looking at the apps and games we access each week. Check out the videos below to find out more about digital footprints.
