Year 4 Maths Fun!

Last week, Crew Knowles had lots of fun in maths playing different collaborative games to improve our knowledge of decimals. It’s fair to say that it got very competitive when we were practising comparing and rounding decimals! Well done everyone!

Red Nose Day – Friday 17th March

Red Nose Day 2023: New red nose by iPhone designer - CBBC Newsround

To celebrate Comic Relief this year, we are inviting you to come to school dressed in red with a suggested donation of £1.

This years merchandise includes many different Mr Men and Little Miss characters.

As part of Red Nose Day we are launching our very own Design a T-shirt Competition!

If you want to take part, all you need to do is design your very own Red Nose Day t-shirt and bring it with you on Friday 17th March.

Get creative and design it in any way you want! You might want to draw a picture, paint it or even create a t-shirt you can wear on the day.

Each crew will vote for their winning design to be entered into a whole school competition. Have you got what it takes to be our winning design? Good Luck! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

YOUNG VOICES 2023!

On the Friday we broke up for half term, I had the privilege of taking some of our KS2 Choir to Young Voices at the Utilita Arena, Sheffield. It was lovely to see lots of new friendships being built and children supporting and encouraging each other. A HUGE shoutout for the superb behaviour too which was shown by the children, they represented our school brilliantly.

Thank you to all of the adults that supported the event either buying tickets, coming along to watch the show or collecting children from school afterwards it is greatly appreciated!

Myself, Mrs Faulding, Mrs Cook, Miss Nolan and Miss Kelly even enjoyed singing along and learning the dance moves too – we were all very proud and already looking forward to next year!

Well done everyone! x

Crew Knowles: Family Learning

Thank you to all of the adults that came to our family learning session yesterday! It was great fun dissecting flower and then drawing them. I was so impressed with the sketches – especially from the adults! We ended it with a very competitive game of Kahoot – well done to our winners!

World Book Day

Green Top will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March and this will be a dress up event.

We can’t wait to see which book character you decide to be but please don’t feel that you have to buy a costume – we love seeing the homemade ones!

Save the date - World Book Day | World Book Day is a registered charity.  Our mission is to give every child and young person a book of their own.

YOUNG VOICES REMINDER – FRIDAY 10th FEBRUARY!

Young Voices is NEARLY here!! Children will be leaving school at 12pm to arrive at Utilita Arena in time for rehearsals to start at 1pm. Children will have lunch early in school before leaving.

Children will need a packed lunch for their tea and plenty to drink – We will be having an hour at 5pm for children to be able to eat in the arena before the concert begins.

I have received all of the children’s T-Shirts and Torches and will distribute them to the children on the day. Children should come to school in their usual school uniform and can change their T-Shirts before we leave.

Concert Times:

Venue doors open at 6pm for all adults who are attending. The Concert starts at 7pm and finishes at 8:45pm. All adult tickets will be given to children by the end of tomorrow to bring home at 3pm. There is also a letter that gives further information about parking.

All children are to return to school on the coach and no children will be permitted to leave the arena with their parents. The coach will drop everyone off at the main school gates at approximately 9:45pm.

Crew Knowles: E-Safety Day

We have really enjoyed our E-Safety drop down day today looking at lots of different aspects of the online world. We started by looking at the difference between the internet and the world wide web and how we are all connected through the internet. We then looked at the positives and negatives of the online world and learned that it can actually be very beneficial to us in our every day life!

Although the internet has lots of positives, we learned the importance of ensure that we find the right balance of screen time and non-screen time. We listened to a great story which helped us to understand this! Why not listen to it here?

We then focused on digital kindness and cyberbullying and how we can keep ourselves safe online by speaking to a trusted adult about any concerns we have. Well done guys, we’re all E-Safety savvy after today!
