New playground equipment appreciation

28th September 2023Aime Shaw

The children have been enjoying playing with our brand new playground equipment which has been donated to school. Thank you so much to Cheeky Smiles Fund and our fantastic Friends of Green Top who have made this happen. The children absolutely loved the new equipment and are already planning how it will be split between the different phases of the school. Our Friends of Green Top work so hard to raise money for our school and support us with giving them the best opportunities and it is appreciated by all of the staff but especially the children.

Thanks so much…Green Top School x x

Class 8 Great Fire of London drama workshop

28th September 2023Aime Shaw

Class 8 have had such a fantastic morning in our drama workshop today. We had a fantastic lady who was in role throughout the session, talking about the great fire of London and recapping the children’s learning whilst adding to it with the great knowledge that she had on the subject. She pretended to be a baker at first and then became Samuel Pepys. The Children were answering and asking lots of questions and she was very impressed with what they knew. They did their own freeze frame pictures and acted out a story in groups, as well as singing rounds of London’s burning! We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and got so much out of it! Well done class 8, I am so proud of your learning on this subject!

Class 8 fantastic writing

27th September 2023Aime Shaw

Class 8 have written their final drafts today and I was blown away with their editing skills. The pride that they are beginning to have in their work has improved massively already and I am so proud of all of them. Their vocabulary choices are fantastic and I am so impressed with their editing skills. Well done class 8!

An ‘arresting’ experience for class 6

27th September 2023Jayne Rodgers

We had another first-hand taste of the life of a local superhero today with a visit from the police. We were told how many people it takes to process a crime and had a good look around a police vehicle. We even got to try out the ‘blues and twos’ (lights and sirens). Our fantastically interesting visit ended with a demonstration of a search drone, that uses thermal imaging to search and find criminals or lost people.

Thanks so much for coming!

Class 9 and the silent Roman discussion

27th September 2023Samantha Good

Class 9 used some pictures of the Roman Empire to practise using question marks. We looked at the pictures and got our thinking caps on, what did we want to know about these images? We used the silent discussion protocol to ask questions to find out more about what we could see and what went on in Roman times!
