Thank you so much to everyone who logged into our hangout this afternoon to hear our archaeologist expert talk about castles and particularly the dig that happened at peel Hill.
I feel really proud of all the children who took part and I really hope that you learnt something new and enjoyed being a part of it.
A special than you to Miss Hilton for organising it and for Dr Jon Kenny for delivering it, Green Top School really appreciate it!
Following the very exciting visitor we had this morning that Luke captured on camera, we discovered she had left us more evidence of her visit.
This led to some very exciting discussion and sentence work as to exactly where she had come from and why she had decided to visit Green Top…one excellent suggestion was that she had noticed how many castles there were in the KS1 corridor classrooms and she was looking for a new place to live!
I wonder if she will be back after her egg has hatched.
Our fantastic caretaker Luke managed to catch this on video very early this morning!
The children have also found a huge dragons egg inside a nest in the quad area.
At playtime they went on a hunt and have found footprints, scorch marks and are still looking for more clues that a dragon has been!
Can you believe it!!!!!

If anyone would like to look into exactly what we will be doing during our expedition learning this term, then please take a look at our website that we have set up. There are links to access extra work, our weekly lesson slides and resources will be added to it, as well as our learning targets that the children will be achieving.
I hope you find it useful with your home learning

Luna has done an absolutely amazing job of completing her own dragons eye using water colours at home and the detail is so realistic!
I am really proud of you challenging yourself at home Luna and I hope you enjoyed doing it too! What a star!

What an amazing Hook Week we have had in year 2 this week. Despite the new lockdown keeping most of us at home, the children in class and those who joined us online have blown us away with their enthusiasm and hard work.
We are all really looking forward to beginning our first case study in expedition and starting work our new English text next week.
Just a reminder about the challenge I set year 2 during afternoon check out today to get us excited about our new money maths unit which also begins next week.
If you are holding one of every British coin in your hand, how much money would you have?
There are 50 HoWL points up for grabs for everyone who has the correct answer in morning hangout on Monday…Good luck!
Have a great weekend everyone!
We thought you might enjoy seeing some of Crew Rodgers’ dragon eye sketches. These are the first stage of our project. Tomorrow we will use water-colours to paint another rendition of our designs before creating them in clay next week as part of a corridor dragon display.
‘Watch’ this space…
Everyone was super excited to enter the walls of Castle Crew Rodgers this morning. What a thrill to have our very own drawbridge, dungeon, Knight and Ye Olde Reading Corner to immerse us in our new expedition. Here are some photographs of our learning environment.
We can’t wait to get started!
We had a sneaky visitor on Friday who we discovered when Amelia-Rose opened her lunchbox! Apparently she wanted to see how we learn at Green Top.
Safe to say she was very impressed with us all!
An amazing week of learning in Crew Rodgers. Here are our winners…
Well done to Cohen, Victoria and Andra for our Be Kind, Get Smart and Work Hard awards respectively. Cohen also won our HoWLs points award!
A great week for Andra who also won our Out of this World award.
Great job superstars!
