Y3 & Y4 – Back to Learning with a Bang!
What a busy and exciting couple of days back in school for Year 3 and 4, where we have engaged with lots of valuable input from experts about our expedition topic – war and how it changes lives.
On Monday, we enjoyed a very informative zoom call with two wartime experts who talked us through the lives of children in WW2, as well as guiding us through the work done by women as part of the ‘home-front’.
Then today, we have enjoyed another visit by the Victoria Cross Trust:
Mick, who worked with us back at the start of our expedition, revisited us to share more information about the Victoria Cross medal and some of its recipients from Doncaster, in particular: Thomas Harper VC, Thomas Bryan VC and George Wyatt VC who we are writing biographies about to include in our final product.
And, Keith guided each class through Thorne Cemetery to identify and research the Common Wealth graves located there. We were fascinated by the soldiers that we learnt about and the visit really helped to highlight the importance of the upcoming Remembrance Day and how important it is to remember those who fought – and still do so – for our country. We will remember them!
To end our fantastic day, Keith presented us with some beautiful commemorative slate plaques which show each of the VC Soldiers that we are learning about and the act of bravery which led to them receiving their most prestigious award. We look forward to keeping these plaques in school and to future generations Green Top students benefitting from these going forwards.

Class 10 Diversity!
Class 10 have been looking into religious diversity and understanding how religions can be different. We then created posters to show off the diversity of food, religious buildings and symbols, plus more!
Year 3 arts festival!
On Friday, we loved our arts festival with a variety of activities. We started off with Zumba and got right into it!
We then did some drumming and singing with Mrs Hardman!
We ended our arts festival with a great guitar session with Mr Pickles and rocked out with him!
Class 10 melting experiment!
Yesterday, Class 10 learned about the different states of matter and the properties that make them up: solids, liquids and gases!
Today, we looked at whether a solid could turn into a liquid and this involved chocolate buttons. We predicted that the chocolate would melt, meaning it would change from a solid to a liquid, so we held the chocolate in the palm of our hands.
Then we observed what had happened…
We were correct, so as a treat, we finished off the melted chocolate!
Class 10 brownie delivery service!
Class 10 had another day in the community spreading joy and happiness to others. We had the pleasure of taking brownies to the local Casino Court. It was such a lovely sight seeing the children explain their learning, share their delicious treats and put a smile on the faces in the Centre. We appreciate the kindness we received back and also the drinks provided! We hope you enjoyed it as much as you did!
Class 10 community delivery!
This morning, Class 10 visited the pentecostal church in our local community. As part of our final product, we wanted to celebrate those who help our community. We knew we had to thank our local charities!
The children made brownies specially for the workers and produced their own Mayan inspired boxes to deliver the chocolatey goods in! It was a huge success! Class 10 were really proud of their beautiful work, appreciated helping in the shop and are even asking to go again ASAP!
I would like to thank the charity group for being so welcoming and brilliant with the children as well – it was really a lovely morning had by all and I suspect it won’t be the last!
Class 10 final product
Last week, Class 10 were working hard on part of their final product. Our designs are looking great and we hope that the the local community appreciate them too!
Class 10 National Writing Day!
Yesterday was national Writing day. This mean the children had freedom to write about a chosen image and decide what genre to write about. We had some fantasy tales, some newspaper articles and some excellent narratives. The children tried to remember features that we have used this year as well. There were some really lovely and interesting pieces of writing and what was great to see was the fun had by all when writing their pieces of work. It was a relaxed atmosphere and then we loved hearing what others wrote.
