VE Day Celebrations – Moorends Community Centre!

8th May 2025Sophie Myers

This afternoon, we had the privilege of being invited to the VE Day celebrations being hosted by Thorne and Moorends Town Council at Moorends Community Centre. 20 children that are Crew Councillors, Ambassadors and some of our Wizard of Oz cast went to support and perform.

The children served 100 guests with their afternoon tea whilst enjoying a performance from The Bowkers. They then enjoyed their own meal before taking to the stage to perform a selection of songs from their upcoming production!

Every child was an absolute credit to our school and every member of staff was bursting with pride – some even shed a few tears! Hearing such lovely things being said about our children by members of the community, local MP’s and councillors was such a highlight!

Members of the community were so proud of our children that they even began a collection raising over £200 which will support us massively when preparing costumes and stage design – a huge, huge thank you from all the children and staff involved!

Here is a little taster video of just how special our afternoon has been!

Geography club – what are we learning?

27th February 2025Alishia Pearson

So far we have looked at what geography is, how the earth is structured and how the earth crust is divided and what it’s made up of. To do so we have made an all about geography poster, made a model of the earth’s layers and recreated the earth’s crust diagram. All of which have been fabulous and of lovely quality! Well done Geographers!!

Wizard of Oz – This weeks song lyrics

ONE DAY IN KANSAS (#1/13)

One day in Kansas,
Where the prairies meet the sky,
There stood a four-walled house
Barely eighty inches high.
A roof and a floor made a room with a door, A table and chairs for three.
So poky and small, but they weren’t very tall, And anyway it had to be,
Living in the very heart of Kansas,
Where the sky is always grey,
And out of nothingness,
A cyclone comes your way.

One day in Kansas,
When the grass began to sway,
Poor little Dorothy was told to hide away. So into a hole, like a mouse or a mole, She did what she had to do.
But Toto got out and went running about, So Dorothy jumped out too.
Living in the very heart of Kansas,
Where the sky is always grey,
Right out of nothingness,
A cyclone comes your way.

CYCLONE

One day in Kansas,
You’d have seen if you were there,
A whole house lifted up
And carried who-knows-where.
It vanished from sight, wasn’t even that light, So mighty the cyclone blew,
And all of the while just a dog and a child Were carried in the cyclone too.
Living in the very heart of Kansas,
Where the sky is always grey,
Right out of nothingness . . .
A cyclone comes your way.

On Tuesday, I had the privilege of taking our KS2 choir to the Young Voices concert at the Utilita Arena. What an absolutely fantastic day and night we all had – even if we were all super tired afterwards!

A huge shoutout to all of the children for their awesome representation of Green Top and participating throughout the experience.

A big thank you to all of the family and friends that were able to come and support the event, we hope you enjoyed it as much as us!

Finally, an added shout out to the Year 6’s that make up our choir for your commitment each year to taking part in Young Voices – I really hope you enjoyed your last one and here’s a video to remember it all!
