Really impressed by Ryan’s home learning this week! He’s created his own propaganda poster linked to Deforestation- it’s amazing!
I particularly like “Deforestation will lead us to devastation!”….so effective!!
Well done Ry and keep up your amazing enthusiasm for our expedition! 🌳 🌟 🌲

As part of the home learning, we have had a little look at propaganda posters ready for when we are back at school! We started to think about how we could create one for deforestation and the children had a go on their own. I think we have some great initial ideas!
Year 5/6 Family Learning
All of the activities link to our Expedition ‘How can we help the world we live in?’
We can’t wait to see what you get up to!

Throwing it back to our last writing touchdown ⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️
In order to be successful in a writing touchdown, children need to be focussed and this often is achieved by working in silence so that no silly mistakes are made.
Here you can see children looking back at their edited planning sheets, their remember to lists- always making links between the two!
Mrs Overson and I are so proud of the standard of writing that we are seeing so far this term! Keep it up guys 🌟
Come and join in with the fun on Kahoot as part of our home learning! We have done quizzes on deforestation, subordinate clauses and Christmas food (this one was just for fun!).
Well done to today’s winners! Look out for more Kahoot fun tomorrow!
We absolutely loved teaming up with the children in Year 6 from Carcroft Primary School a few weeks ago.
Before the hangout, we had watched a video that they had created which was about acts of kindness and how we can be kind to ourselves and others. Crew Fox at Carcroft Primary had thought of Positive notes and jokes to give to the residents at a local care home which they hoped would raise their spirits during these difficult and lonely times.
We were then asked to critique this for them and to think of an I wonder of what they could do next…we shared our ideas on this hangout with them!
A huge thank you to Carcroft for sharing this with us and letting us be a part of this! You’re all such thoughtful children with huge hearts and gave us lots of inspiration to do something similar.
As part of Case Study 2- Biology, Crew Overson spent last week researching different animal groups and each of these groups’ characteristics. They worked collaboratively to sort animals in to the different groups (mammals, insects, birds, fish and amphibians) and discuss key words such as; warm/cold blooded, vertebrates and invertebrates and land/water animals.
Well done guys! I’ve been so impressed by your Exploring Eddie attitudes during this case study and your abilities to give reason why an animal belongs in a certain group.

We are motivated and focussed this morning working on our animal collages in readiness for our product linked to Deforestation.
So far they are looking absolutely amazing! Definitely going to look really effective!
Won’t be long and you’ll be able to see the finished products! Watch this space 👀

Thanks to all who have entered the pumpkin competition. The deadline for entries is 12pm today. Unfortunately any entries received after this time will not be part of the judging. One winner per phase will be announced and all entries will receive a small treat on their return to school next Monday. Details of the competition are below:
🎃🍁🍂Happy half term 🎃🍁🍂
At Green Top we are sad that family learning can’t take place as it would usually in our classrooms and therefore we have pledged to have a family learning activity each half term for the whole school community to get involved with.
The first family learning challenge will be a ‘Carve or Decorate your own pumpkin’ competition. This competition will be judged on 31st October. There can be one entry per child and all entries must be entered by a photograph sent to [email protected] by the 12pm Tuesday 27th October. As photographs are entered they will be blogged on the website for all to see. All students who enter will receive a ‘treat’ on their return to school on 2nd November.
In addition one winner will be selected from each phase. Winners will be announced on October 31st.
Do you ever ask your child what they’ve been learning this week only to get told ‘nothing’ or ‘I can’t remember’.
To try and help with this, each year group will share a specific question each week about that weeks learning to try and help get the conversation going.
Let us know if it’s useful and helps children talk about their learning.
