Year 3 Cruise Talk! 🛳

31st March 2023Simon Gerrard

Yesterday, Year 3 were lucky to have Reef’s dad in to discuss what a career is like on the seas in the cruise ship industry. It is fair to say the children were excited by what they heard and what they saw, with lots asking and answering a variety of questions.

The children found it interesting that there was a hospital on board, lots of hot tubs and, more importantly, lots of Playstation’s and Xbox games consoles.

The children loved seeing the variety of wildlife that could be seen, especially the sleepy seals and the penguins. I think Cameron definitely inspired lots of people and he definitely has us dreaming of paradise in the Caribbean, as we break up for Easter!

Thank you for the talk! 😆

Crew Knowles: Presentation of Learning

30th March 2023Rebecca Knowles

We had a fantastic presentation of learning yesterday celebrating the end of our expedition. I was so proud of all the children teaching their adults and sharing all of the science and computing knowledge they have learnt this term! It was so fun to ‘test’ the adults with our Kahoot quiz at the end! Well done to Lucas and his family for winning!

Class 13 – Celebration of Learning 👏🏼

30th March 2023Jake Taylor

This afternoon, Class 13 were able to take part in their Celebration of Learning. Children were able to complete a number of different activities based on what we have been learning during this expedition, before finishing off with a Kahoot quiz. Well done to Andra, Chloe and family who were our winners today and a big thank you to all of those parents and carers who attended.

Class 15 – Aspirations Week!

30th March 2023Sophie Myers

So far this week, to celebrate aspirations, we’ve been very lucky to have some great visitors that have shared their skills and jobs. We’ve been visited by Sarah and Geoff who both work within the XP Trust and have very different job roles; Victoria from Body Rockers, James Fenwick who is a fire-fighter and Cameron Robertson who is a Hotel Director onboard cruise ships. The children loved learning about each person and asked some great questions – thank you so much to you all!

Also this week, we’ve completed our XP Outdoors Crew task and used leaf printing to create a Crew banner. We’re looking forward to hanging it in our Crew Room after the Easter holidays.

Tomorrow’s Easter Fayre

30th March 2023Kelly Overson

As you know, ‘The Friends of Green Top’ (with the support of some of our ‘School Council’ members) will host our Easter Fayre tomorrow.  Children can be collected from 1:30pm at their usual doors and the Easter Fayre will run 1:30 – 3:30 on the KS2 playground.  If the weather doesn’t support our event, it will be held indoors. The raffle will be drawn at 3:20pm! Please remember all children should be collected by 3pm as clubs and sunset finish today (Thursday 30th March).

Look at some of the wonderful raffle prizes that have been delivered ready for tomorrow!

A great year 2 aspirations visitor

29th March 2023Aime Shaw

The children have been learning all about people who inspire them and attributes that they aspire to have in the future. They absolutely loved having our 4 legged visitor this week and this got them thinking about jobs that involve animals!

Thank you so much to all of our adults that have come to talk to the children this week and inspire them 🥰

We appreciate you so much!

year 2 celebration of learning success

29th March 2023Aime Shaw

Thank you so much to all of the parents and carers that came today to celebrate by doing some of the learning that the children have done this term. This was a fantastic way of children recalling their knowledge from the term and having the chance to share what they have learnt and enjoyed doing.

we really hope that you enjoyed it as much as the staff and children did. We loved seeing the children interacting with the adults and talking confidently about their learning.

Thank you for always supporting us and we hope to see you in school again soon

Mrs Shaw and Miss Good! X x x
