Maths Week and NSPCC Number Day

By Kelly Overson26th April 2021

Dear Parents and Carers 

Next week is maths week at Green Top (4th – 7th May).  We will be celebrating maths and to do this we will be doing the following:

  • Each day you will be informed of a challenge you can complete at home and bring into school or email to [email protected] 
  • Each day there will be a FUN maths challenge on the blog for you to complete as a family at home
  • Friday is NSPCC Maths day so we will be having a ‘maths’ dress up day (£1 donation)

Please see the school blog for links to the NSPCC maths day website, ideas for dress up and daily posts next week.

Dress up ideas:

Evacuated from Green Top

By Rebecca Barnett21st April 2021

This week year 3 had a walk to the train station where we talked about what it might be like for children being evacuated in the war. It was great to be out of school and we were even lucky enough to see a train.

Little lost evacuees

By Alishia Pearson20th April 2021

Today the children had to put themselves in a shoes of a 1940s evacuee child. Leaving home to go to the country with only the help of their teacher to find them and deliver them to a new home.

Here they are looking all heartbroken and worried about the thought of it happening to lots of children all those years ago.

Luckily for them, we all arrived back at school ready for home time where heir parents and carers were there to pick them up.
