Last Friday, children were encouraged to wear a Christmas jumper and donate money to fundraise for the ‘Save the Children’ charity. As a school, we managed to raise an incredible £286 which will go towards helping many different families this Christmas. Thank you for the generosity of all who donated money!
Thank you to all who donated towards the Remembrance Day Poppy Appeal this year. Green Top managed to raise an amazing £447.98 towards the charity. Thank you for your amazing support!
Well done to our four winners in the Children in Need competition. Your entries were amazing!
Tomorrow, members of the school council will be going around school selling entries for our two Christmas competitions: ‘Guess the name of the elf’ and ‘Guess the number of candy canes.’ Entries cost 50p each and the winner will win either an elf teddy or the box of candy canes.
We will also be selling packets of ‘Reindeer Food’ for 50p each. Please send any money in tomorrow and throughout the week if you are wanting to enter the competition. Winners will be announced on Friday morning. Thank you.
Thank you to all of those children who entered the Children in Need competition. There were some fantastic designs but our school council have managed to choose one winning entry from each phase. Well done to the winners, prizes will be sent out to you shortly.

On Friday 10th December, we will be having a Christmas jumper day to raise money for the ‘Save the Children’ charity. Children are encouraged to come to school wearing a Christmas jumper or t-shirt and bring a donation of £1. Thank you for your support, we can’t wait to see your Christmas outfits!
Next week we will be celebrating Children in Need on Thursday 18th November!
Thursday will be a dress up day where we are inviting children to wear something spotty and bright coloured! Any donations on the dress up day for Children in Need will be gratefully received.
Our school council are also holding a couple of competitions which will be running next week.
As you know lots of our community gatherings have been cancelled this year to keep us all safe.
However, we would still like to join in the fun and celebrate!
This year we are holding some art work competitions for BONFIRE NIGHT and REMEMBRANCE.
All you have to do is get creative, this can be a family effort or individual and you can go as big or as small as you wish – all we ask is that it is a form of art!
All entries will be judged by the school council and winners will be announced in school and on the blog.
Bonfire Night Deadline 5th November and winners announced on the 12th.
Remembrance Deadline 11th November and winners announced on the 19th.
All entries to be sent to [email protected]
We can’t wait to see what you come up with – good luck and thank you 🙂
Here are some ideas to help you get started!
Last night and this morning a group of us were working hard to pack up some final boxes ready for collection today. In total, as a school, we have managed to pack, fill and send 79 boxes as well as raising £140 to help towards shipping costs! I was overwhelmed with the amount of donations from our school community and would like to personally thank everyone involved. Our local organisers were also incredibly impressed with the efforts at Green Top and have asked me to pass one their special thanks.
Thank you for all your generous donations to date – we are still welcoming donations as our collection date has been extended to the 21st November 2019!
For more information see below or click here to visit the Operation Christmas Child‘s Website. If you would also wish to donate £1 towards the shipping of these boxes it will be very gratefully received.
