Yesterday, class 10 carried out a science experiment and erupted their volcanoes. They had so much fun making predictions and then watching the mess the volcanoes caused!

In Class 8 this week we thought about coding and giving, recording and following directions around the classroom.  In a few weeks we will be ready to give instructions using computers!

Year 5 recently enjoyed a trip to The Deep as part of our theme. We looked at how animals evolve over time and took part in a workshop learning all about fossils and evolution!

The children worked collaboratively putting Mrs Armitage’s shopping lists into sentences, using commas in a list.  Well done everyone!

Well done to these year 5 and 6 children who were awarded the most house points in their class last week. Keep up the great work!

As part of our theme ‘How do you think we will evolve?’ Y6 visited The Deep in Hull to look at how animals have evolved over time. We also took part in a workshop learning all about fossils and learning lots of new information ready to take back to school. 

The nursery children had so much fun learning Indian dance routines, dressing up and telling stories through dance and music. We had special visitor Dola come to teach us. She was very impressed with how all children joined in and how beautiful behaviour was.

Last week in nursery the children became creative as they turned their classroom into a Carnival to celebrate colour! We have had an amazing week welcoming our new children , watching them grow new friendships and settle into Greentop life. Here are some of the fab areas our children have been working in .

This week we have been learning the long vowel digraphs ai, ee and oa  (as in rain, keep  and road)

We have also learned the trigraph ‘igh’ (as in light)

digraph = 2 letters making one sound

trigraph = 3 letters making one sound

We have been reading and writing words and sentences containing these sounds.

There are lots of free online resources available to support this learning.
