Christingle

On Monday, Class 8 enjoyed learning about the Christingle celebration and what the different elements of a Christingle represent. We coloured and labelled pictures of a christingle and we are all looking forward to making our own in the coming weeks.

If you haven’t already, please send in your £1 contribution towards this equipment.

Hot Choc Friday!

Well done to all the boys and girls who have been practising their phonics at home in preparation for their screening tests. We all enjoyed a very special hot chocolate treat to celebrate 🙂

Out of this World

Mrs Clay and I chose Chloe as our ‘Out of this World’ this week.

She always works hard and is kind to her friends. She has been a Motivated Moe this week in all her learning. Keep it up Chloe!

Going Places

This week in English we have been looking at our new class text ‘Going Places’.

The children worked in pairs to piece together the front cover, we then discussed what we thought the book might be about and where they might be going.

PUMPKIN COMPETITION

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.

Conversation Starter

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.
