Red Nose Day 🔴

Friday 18th March 2020 is Red Nose Day in the UK. At Green Top we will be raising money for the event by selling red nose’s. Red nose’s will go on sale from tomorrow and school councillors will be bringing them to each class in the mornings, priced at £1.50. On the day, we will also be raising money by wearing something red and bringing in a £1 donation. To go along with this, the school council have also thought of some activities that we will be doing in the afternoon.

We are mathematicians

In Crew Jackson today we explored using protractors accurately to measure angles. I was very impressed with them referring each other back to the remember to list so that they all used them correctly.

Well done guys!

Year 5 visit Tropical World 🌎

On Friday, year 5 visited Tropical World in Leeds as part of our current expedition. The children enjoyed immersing themselves in the rainforest environment and linked this to their learning from school.During the workshop, the children demonstrated great recall by using our work in science to develop their understanding of animal classification. Great work year 5! Enjoy the pictures below:

WWF Tiger conservation

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.

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!
