This afternoon we found some shade and enjoyed splashing about in the water to cool us all off! Happy Weekend everyone, stay safe in the sun.

Transition For Mrs Shaws new class
I had so much fun this week meeting my new class. I have loved getting to know them, they have been amazing…little superstars, all of them! I am so excited for next year! A special thank you to miss schons new class for coming to share their performance with us and letting the children read their books to them. Here is just some of what we got up to…
Have a fantastic Summer!
Class 4 Transition day 1!
Our EYFS children had a beautiful first transition day, filled with confidence, smiles, and a sense of adventure. They embraced their new environment with excitement, trying lots of new activities and exploring every corner of their learning space. The day was themed around Belonging and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, inspiring creative play, storytelling, and curiosity. Outside, the fun continued with sand and water play, exploring the den and camping area, and enjoying lively dining and music sessions with Mr. Pickles. It was a joyful, sun-filled start to their journey, and we can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
Y3 visit to the Cenotaph
Today, Year 3 were excited to visit Thorne Memorial Park once again. This time, to meet up with our friends from the Victoria Cross Trust who were steam washing the cenotaph in order to restore its original splendour. Unfortunately, the steam cleaner wasn’t quite working during our visit so we didn’t get to see it in action but Keith, who we worked with back in Autumn term, has kindly shared some videos of the washer in all its working glory! (see below)
We’re sure you will agree that the before & after shows an amazing transformation. A huge shout out to the VC Trust and the amazing work that they do!

Year 3 – Water Safety Assembly
Year 3 enjoyed an online assembly by Yorkshire Water, all about how to stay safe around water … especially during the hot summer when we might be tempted to get closer to water than usual. Why not ask us about the things we learned?
Classical violinist visitor
Today we enjoyed Eleanor Holt coming into our classes to play her violin for us. She is classically trained and it was wonderful to listen to. The children were very excited about it and love playing and listening to music. They did a little quiz to see if they could work out what she was playing…I personally loved the Disney film songs! We will be seeing a lot more of her next year in school and can’t wait to get started with our music lessons!
KS2 Tennis
Well done to our KS2 tennis team who took part in our first legacy competition yesterday at Doncaster Tennis Club. It was great to see some excellent tennis skills on display and the boys really enjoying themselves. Well done for finishing 5th boys! Shout out to George for winning the sportsmanship award! Bring on the next competition!
Year 3 – Telling The Time Practice
Year 3 are working hard on their current Maths topic – telling the time, but many of us are finding it very tricky … especially telling the time to 5minutes and to the minute using analogue clocks. Please could we urge everyone to spend some time at home looking at analogue clocks and watches, discussing time and practising reading different times throughout the day as this will really help us when we are looking at digital times and then problem solving with time.
For half-term, we did share some homework around this so a big well done to those who have already completed this. If you haven’t already done it then why not take another look at the previous blog post here: https://greentopschool.co.uk/year-3-telling-the-time-homework-for-half-term/
