Wow we had an amazing time on Friday for our expedition dress up day. The children looked amazing and we enjoyed our Royal Banquet as our Funky Friday treat!

Freya has created a brilliant model of the solar system using wooden disks and paint. She has researched each of the planets to ensure she had the correct colours as well as adding facts to the back of each. Fantastic work Freya!

We had a busy week last week immersing our class into our new expedition – How does movement affect the world? Take a look at what we have been up to.

Here are some photographs with some of the things we got up to last week to immerse our classroom – it’s now looking fab! We have already made a great start to Case Study 1 – keep a look out for some of our fab learning! 🚀🪐

We had a great experience day yesterday pretending to be evacuees from World War 2. We walked to the church and imagined we had been transported to the 1940s! When we got to the church, Mrs Raper shared some interesting stories about her mum’s experience of WW2 and evacuation.

We imagined what it would be like to have to go to new homes with new families to escape the bombs and wrote postcards home to our loved ones! We also thought about what we would pack in our suitcase which was a very interesting discussion!

Just a reminder that Year 3 and 4 will be visiting Thorne Methodist on Thursday morning. The children are invited to dress up as an evacuee as part of our learning on World War 2 if they would like. Children will require a packed lunch to take with them as we will eat lunch there as part of the experience. FSM children will receive a lunch from school.

Thank you

Year 3/4

Year 4 PE sessions will take place on Monday afternoons. Children will need to fetch their PE kits to get changed into.

Please be reminded that Green Top’s PE kit is black bottoms (shorts or long bottoms), a green t-shirt and trainers. Year 4 will be outside so children may wish to bring a black or green jacket ready for when the weather gets cooler.

Thank you

Miss Knowles and Mr Taylor

On Tuesday, we made Spaghetti and Marshmallow Bridges. We had to build a structure to see how many ping pong balls it would hold. We had to work collaboratively and make sure that everyone in our team was having a go. Freya said, “It was a difficult challenge but it was nice to work as a team and collaborate together.” After that, we went outside and played Cops and Robbers with Miss Myer’s class and we all played together.

On Wednesday, we completed the paper challenge. The aim was to hold as many pieces of paper as possible. We took it in turns to be the captain and give directions to our teammates.

On Thursday, we played everyone is it. Eve said, “It was hard to dodge everyone else because if you weren’t fast enough they would dig you first.” “It was hard to decide who was tug first,” said Kianna. Crystal said it was very challenging but it was fun.

In maths, we have been doing arithmetic starters. We worked together to do a range of problem solving activities. We have also been thinking about the best part of us. We wrote a draft and then wrote it on the chrome books. We have also learnt about community and the different communities we are part of.

All week, we have been singing our crew song. On Friday, we completed an escape room maths challenge.
