Letter Join Login Details
Following our wonderful parents/carers phonics session today, and in preparation for our lesson tomorrow, I am re-posting this blog with instructions on how to access and log in to Letter Join. In addition to this I have added a list of links to phonics game websites and links to other useful activities to support the children’s learning…
Here are the login details for you to access this wonderful letter formation app that is available online or from the ‘Other Apps’ section of the Green Top website. To access either log in at www.letterjoin.co.uk from a web browser or click the icon below in the top right hand corner of the Green Top website and scroll down to the Letter-Join app.
On the home screen, choose either the ‘Desktop’ or ‘Tablet’ option depending on which you are using and enter the log in details from the screenshot below. Once you are logged in, choose ‘Year 1’ and off you go! You can watch the letters being formed and then have a go at forming them yourself. This does work on a laptop but is much more effective using the touchscreen on a tablet or IPad. Anyone who sends in a photograph of them using the letter formation activities will earn 20 HoWL points!
Any questions please ask.
Enjoy!

Lest We Forget…
The children of Green Top found lots of ways to pay their respects today, and at the service in Thorne Park yesterday, to the countless, brave service men and women who paid such a heavy price for our freedom. We also learned of the other colour poppies; purple for animals, the black poppy rose for black, African and Caribbean communities and white poppies for all the people who have died in conflict, with a focus on an end to war.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
Green Top will remember them.
Faith Day 2 in Class 6
On Friday the children in class 6 spent the morning learning about Hinduism. We watched a video that told the traditional tale of Rama and Sita and then painted Rangoli patterns which are considered to be lucky in the Hindu faith. We also learned a traditional greeting…
Namaste from Class 6!
Remembrance Day
Year 3 learnt all about Remembrance Day and drew beautiful poppies and sang a song about Flanders Field in an ensemble. Here are all of their drawings accompanied by their wonderful singing. Well done Year 3, so proud of you!
Class 7 battering rams
Today, Class 7 have had a try at making their own battering rams, as part of DT. First we designed, then we made!
Class 7 remembers!
Class 7 made wreaths to remember and respect Remembrance Day. We observed a beautiful 2 minutes silence as well!
Christmas Themed Bingo Night
On Thursday 28th November, Year 6 will be hosting a ‘Christmas Themed Family Bingo Night’ in the school hall. Last year’s events were a huge success and lots of fun was had by all who attended them.
This is a family event therefore all children must be accompanied by a grown-up so that they can play the game. Entrance tickets cost 50p per person – a ticket must be purchased for each person attending the event. Admission is by ticket only.
Due to fire regulations ticket availability is strictly limited. Tickets will go on sale this week on Wednesday 13th November. If you would like to purchase tickets, please send money in an envelope clearly labelled with your child’s name, class and the number of tickets required. The Year 6 children will collect money from classrooms and allocate tickets accordingly.
Doors will open at 5:30pm with ‘Eyes Down’ at 6:00pm.
The bingo cards for each game will be on sale on the night and there will be 6 different coloured games during the evening with lots of Christmas / chocolate themed prizes. Bingo cards will be sold in booklets of 6 coloured strips for £5. Each coloured strip consists of 6 bingo cards. You can choose whether you want to buy a booklet each or buy a booklet and split it between your family. If you prefer you can buy 6 individual coloured game cards for £1. Of course, you can play as many cards as you can manage in each game.
Refreshments will be on sale during the evening and all funds raised are to go towards the Year 6 leavers and end of year celebrations. We will also have ‘Guess the name of the elf’ and ‘Guess the sweets in the jar.
I do hope you will be able to support us at this event. The more people who come the better the atmosphere so please do try to fit this event into your diary. Get on your Christmas jumpers and come and have some fun to start off the festive season!
