In our RE session this afternoon we focused our recent learning on the 6 main religions in the UK on Christianity. We found out about their Holy book and place of worship and discussed the ceremonies carried out in Church. We finished our lovely peaceful afternoon by colouring bookmarks showing some Christian symbols.
To celebrate Reading Week, Class 10 enjoyed a lovely warm walk down to our local library and spent some time amongst the bookshelves. We loved the different craft and play opportunities that we found in the children’s section as well as the wide range of books to choose from. We even had the opportunity to work behind the desk and listen to a new story that we’s never even seen before!
Well done to these 2 superstars for being our Reception Crew champions this week. Both have been displaying great HOWLs and great quality and craftsmanship with all of their learning.
Well done guys, keep up the amazing work!! Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones x

What a lovely start to our Monday morning, a nice walk to spend some time in our local library. The children enjoyed reading a selection of books, taking part in some craft activities and finding out all about the job roles of the librarians. A fab start to reading week!
Watch the story below called ‘Lucy’s Blue Day’. Reflect on the story by sharing your ideas with your crew about different things you can do if you are experiencing big feelings such as feeling scared, anxious, frightened or angry.

On Tuesday 14th October, Reception will be holding a Christmas Photo Shoot Day. The photos taken will be professionally printed and made available for purchase at our upcoming Christmas event – a perfect keepsake or gift for family and friends!
Please send your child to school on this day dressed in the outfit you would like them to wear for their photo. This can be a festive outfit, smart clothes, or anything special you’d like them to be photographed in.
We’re looking forward to capturing some lovely, festive memories!
Friday 10th October is World Mental Health Day; we are joining Young Minds and inviting you to wear something yellow!
Please don’t go out and buy anything special (it isn’t a non-uniform day). You can wear an item of yellow clothing or wear a yellow bow, socks or even make your own badge to wear!
At Green Top, we place a strong emphasis on wellbeing, ensuring that every child feels valued, supported, and heard. Our culture of crew underpins this commitment, giving all children a voice and fostering a sense of belonging and togetherness across our school. Through our crew curriculum and focus on key character traits, we help our children develop kindness, compassion, and the confidence to share their thoughts and feelings openly. We also recognise the powerful role that creativity and movement play in wellbeing — our vibrant culture of the arts and active learning nurtures both emotional and physical health. Together, these elements create a happy, supportive environment where both children and staff can thrive.
