Nursery’s Google Classroom

We would like to remind all parents on how to join Nursery’s Google Classroom online. We love using this forum as a way of sharing the planned teaching sessions taking place each week and provide you with access to the termly homework menus. The online classroom also give parents the opportunity to share the home learning activities they complete with their children and celebrate the wonderful things you do together.

To access the online classroom you will need to log in through the Green Top website. You can do this by going to the school’s main website and clicking on the ‘log in’ icon in the top right corner. You will then need to enter your child’s unique username as detailed below followed by the generic password which is ‘password’.

username: first [email protected]

For example: [email protected]

The children who have just joined as early starters in January will enter the number 37 after their name, for example [email protected]

Once you are logged in, click on the ‘gmail’ icon at the top of the page (it looks like an envelope). You will have an email inviting you to the online classroom and accepting this invite will give you access to the forum. If you need any more support with this please speak to a member of the nursery team who will be able to help you.

We will share the posts on google classroom every Wednesday with the children and award HoWL points for their hard work and creativity at home. We’re looking forward to seeing all the wonderful things you do together!

Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?🐺🐷🐷🐷

This week in Nursery we have started to explore our first key text of the term ‘The Three Little Pigs’. The children have LOVED listening to and acting out the story using some brilliant voices for the different characters. I have been so impressed with their creative ideas and how they have further explored the story in their play. Well done Nursery Crew!

Monday Heroes

Well done to today’s learning legends … Cara who was super kind to one of her friends today and Kaila who has been brave. A special shout-out also goes to Layla for her fantastic home learning – a fabulous under the sea collage. Well done girls!

ALL Block reading in Crew Jackson

This week the children have completed a range of reading activities. We have focused on understanding new vocabulary linked to our expedition on rainforests – ‘Why should we help our world survive?’. This led to a brilliant crew discussion around the links between the words vegetation, lush and thriving. The children have also accessed a traditional Amazon tale and discussed their opinions about the characters actions using evidence from the text to support their answers. As always we have ensured that the children have had the opportunity to access books for reading for pleasure too. I am so proud of you all guys – keep up the hard work!

Y6 Reading

Today we introduced our new text – My Name is River.

The children made predictions from the front cover about what they thought our new text would be about…

We then kicked back and had some refreshments while we read the first chapter!

What a lovely relaxing reading session 🙂

After some fantastic reading we had a silent discussion to build on our predictions – What do we know about the text now?

Class 5 crafts

Everyone has worked so hard and has taken their time to create beautiful art out of different materials to make something to be proud of! You can see the hard work, determination and concentration from everyone. Well done class 5!
