This morning year 5 took part in a webinar by the WWF on tiger conservation. The children loved seeing the images of the tigers on the hidden cameras and were definitely better at spotting them than me! They listened carefully to the information and therefore got all the quiz questions right!

Where can you spend your World Book day token?
Last week the children were given World Book Day token. These tokens can be exchanged for given £1 books or in some places put towards paying for other books.
World Book Day retailers include Waterstones, Sainsburys, Tesco and WHSmiths in Doncaster, Scunthorpe and Goole.
Make sure you take your voucher and exchange it for a book!
KS2 do we need a clue so we can crack the safe code?
The Accelerated Reader safe is still locked and there is a chocolate bunny in there waiting to be eaten!
Can you score 100% three times in a row when quizzing and come and try to crack the code?
Many children have tried but no one has yet succeeded at freeing the chocolate bunny!
Every few days I will add a new clue to help us crack the code.
Clue number 1 … 1 digit is even and 2 digits are odd.
Green Top’s Digital Leaders
Children from Year 2-5 had a fun-filled time at XP East today as we met up with children who are also digital leaders from across the trust. We began the day with a brilliant tour of XP and XP East before working hard to understand the role of a digital leader, why digital leaders are important and the qualities a digital leader should have. I was blown away by the children’s efforts and collaboration but also the courage they demonstrated to share their ideas in front of a big audience! A great day was had by all and the children will now share their learning with the leadership team at Green Top. Thank you to Mr. Portman and XP for having us for the day…we had a great time!
We are storytellers
This morning in English, the children worked collaboratively to tell a story just from the images. They had to listen carefully to each others ideas and explain their opinions to their group. We then went on to listen to the story and discuss whether our own ideas had been similar or different to the real plot.
I really enjoyed listening to your discussions and story telling.
Skittle fractions – yummy maths work!
What better way to finish the week than being able to eat the sweets you use in maths at the end of the lesson!
Recap your modal verbs
Today in Crew Jackson we focused our SPAG learning on modal verbs. The children enjoyed the above song, which recapped the different modal verbs we can use to show certainty and possibility. Now you can enjoy the song at home too!
Deepening our reading skills
Today our reading fluency task was a page from our new class text ‘Can we save the tiger?’. We read all about partula snails and then completed 5 minute reading challenge questions, practicing our retrieval skills.
We are confident readers
Today in Crew Jackson, we were introduced to our new class text ‘Can we save the tiger?’. The children went on a gallery walk looking at and discussing a number of images taken from the book. Through peer discussion they were able to make links and establish that our new book could be about endangered animals.
The children then went on to work collaborative in groups, to develop fluency and apply their knowledge on speech reading, by working together to present a page from the book. I was so impressed with their confident, clear and fluent reading. They pronounced some difficult technical words and thought about the expression they needed to use to impact on the audience.
Well done guys I was so proud listening to each group.

Let’s be scientists
On Friday Crew Jackson spent the morning learning about plant reproduction. They explored the different methods of seed dispersal, found out about self and cross pollination and discovered that some plants do not reproduce from seeds. I think their favourite part of the morning was dissecting a lily and identifying the female and male parts of the flower.
Super work guys as always 🙂
