EYFS Sponsored Walk
A huge thank you to everyone who dressed their child up for our ‘kindness is our superpower’ day. The children did us proud and braved the rain to complete their sponsored walk challenge.
Sponsor money is due Friday 25th October to your child’s class teacher. Many thanks for you support.

Pattern making in Nursery
This week the children are learning to create repeating patterns. Here are a few examples of some awesome Nursery maths work.
Nursery – Learning focus this week
This week in phonics we are singing ‘The Wheels on the bus’ with emphasis on onomatopoeia. The children worked really hard today and I was impressed with how many were able to give me an example of a word that sounded like the action. E.g. swish, stomp, clap, beep.
In Literacy and expedition we are reading the story ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’ and focusing on how Goldilocks was not kind in the story and how she could have made better choices. Here we are today enjoying reading the story in the Autumn sunshine whilst we had our afternoon snack.
In maths we are looking at how we can create repeating patterns using 2 and 3 objects. I wonder…can you have a go at creating your own repeating pattern at home?
You could use toys, cars, leaves, sticks, conkers – anything you fancy!

Nursery – singing with Geoff
What a wonderful start to our day! Geoff and Hedgerly the Hedgehog came to visit our Nursery to compose the the opening line to our new Green Top School song. The children all worked hard to think of words they associated with ‘belonging’ and ‘kindness’. We can’t wait for you to hear our song…it is very special!
Nursery – Kindness wands
Today we went for an Autumn walk to collect sticks and leaves. The children then practised their scissor skills to snip leaf confetti. Using the sticks we attached cardboard stars using tape and decorated them with our leaf confetti and added a touch of glitter to add a little magic and sparkle.
Our wands resemble kindness and that we all have kindness magic inside of us. How will you spread kindness today?
Class 7 reading!
Thanks to our Year 6s for reading a story to Class 7! 🙂
Class 7 Science Experiment
This week, in writing, we have been working on the Three Little Pigs. As part of science, we thought that the story linked perfectly to materials and building. We decided to test the best materials to build a house to withstand the Big, Bad Wolf. Some materials were far better than others. Other materials were tricky to build a house with. This required great collaboration, which became better and better as our experiment went on! The wooden and plastic blocks were the best material to use.

American Themed Day. . . part 2
We also had the opportunity to learn some line dancing in the hall with Mrs Raynor. It was tricky in some parts but we all did our best and it was amazing!!
Shout out to Mrs Raynor for teaching us how to line dance and for making our morning so exciting and special.
Well done everyone.

American Themed Day
Wow!Wow!Wow! What an exciting day we had today! We were all dressed up in red, white and blue. We began our day with a bit of rock music courtesy of Mr Pickles and his guitar. We had a great time dancing and cheering to all of his songs.
We enjoyed the music! Big shout out to Mr Pickles for a great start to the day!
