Times Tables Rock Stars day!!! (International dance day) – Friday 29th April

20th April 2022Luke Oldridge

On Friday the 29th April, we will be having a rock star dress up day in years 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1. Times Tables Rock Stars is an excellent site which helps children practice and improve their times tables. All children in these year groups have a login. To promote it’s use across school, we are encouraging children to dress up as rock stars on the above date. Not only will children have the opportunity to use this site on this day, we will be linking it to International Dance day which falls on the same date. Therefore, in the afternoon, children will also be dancing and crews will be making ‘rock-style’ music videos. Pictures and videos of the day will be blogged by each crew.

Red Nose Day 🔴

19th April 2022Jake Taylor

Well done to the winners of the ‘Design a Red Nose’ competition! There were some fantastic entries but the school council voted and decided that these would be the winning entries. Well done to all who submitted an entry.

We are also pleased to announce that the school managed to sell £300 worth of red noses in the run up to the event before raising a further £301.58 through donations when wearing something red. Thank you to every one for your generous donations!

Crew team games

19th April 2022Aime Shaw

we have enjoyed a couple of crew games this morning. The children have worked in teams to problem solve and answer questions this morning. They then worked together to unscramble letters to make the answers. It was lots of fun and a great start to our term.

so lovely to see everybody back x x

Beautiful description!

30th March 2022Aime Shaw

The children have been writing their final descriptions today. The ambitious vocabulary that they have used has blown me away and the progress they have all made, makes me very proud of their super learning.

Well done class 8

Diverse crew work

30th March 2022Aime Shaw

The children have been learning about how people are different this week. They have made some jigsaw puzzle pieces of different people to show that everyone is equal and that we accept and embrace everyone’s uniqueness. I think we do a great job of accepting diverse needs at Green Top.

Great work

Key stage 1 family learning

30th March 2022Aime Shaw

Please keep this date in your diary… Monday 9th May 2022

In our next expedition we are looking in detail at Thorne, including the history of our school and community. We would like to invite family members to an informal coffee morning where you can have a drink and a bun while sharing your experiences of how Thorne and Green Top has changed over the years. If you have experience of living in a contrasting area too then it would be great for the children to be able to compare. Even better, if you have old photographs to share then we would love to see them.

Thank you
