Last week some of our children took part in their first Martial Arts grading. These children attend Nathan Pickles Martial Arts which we are very lucky to hold in our school hall. The children have been working hard over the past few months and were awarded their first colour belt. Well done to Phoebe, Dax and Addison who are now the proud owners of their orange belts!
We had lots of fun in our extra PE session with Coach Morgan on Friday. The children’s behaviour and attitude was excellent and it was lovely to see their skills developing throughout the lesson. Eli was chosen as Coach Morgan’s star of the day and Bella was chosen as mine. Both children put lots of effort into improving their movements and there was clear progress from the beginning to the end of the lesson!
It was also fabulous to see the children looking so smart in their PE kits! A lot of time and effort went into ensuring children’s clothing did not get mixed up but please could we request that all PE items are labelled with the children’s name to help us with this. Also please could we request that children are wearing their white T-Shirts for their school uniform and green T-Shirts for PE only as stated in the school uniform policy as this really helps us to check that children have the correct clothing packed away after our PE sessions.
I am already looking forward to our next PE session in Thursday! Please remember to return PE kits on Monday’s ready for our PE lesson later in the week. We only require indoor kits for the time being – Green T Shirt, Black Shorts and a change of shoes (pumps or trainers).
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents of children in Class 5 for being so organised and ensuring children bring their backpacks, water bottles etc into school each day as it is really helping us to keep everyones belongings organised in school.
We would like to invite parents/carers to take part in our phonics drop-in session on Tuesday 24th September. The drop-in will take place at 3pm in the school hall. Parents are invited to bring their children along with them to take part in some of our phonics games. Staff will be on hand to answer any questions you have about phonics, reading and writing in school and how you can support your child at home.
We hope you can join us!
Miss Schon and Mrs Rodgers
Reminder: Year 1 will begin PE lessons tomorrow. Please ensure you child has their PE kit in school.
This week children will also have a special additional PE lesson on Friday. Please ensure PE kits are returned to school on Friday.
Thank you,
Miss Schon and Miss Rodgers
A huge well done Izaak on receiving a football trophy and his team winning the match! Thank you for bringing it in to share with the class.
During hook week Class 5 had a lovely time creating dragon eyes out of clay. The children really persevered and took their time ensuring they created their most beautiful work. It was a lot of fun!
We also had a lovely XP outdoors session in the Year 1 garden area with Mr Kershaw. We enjoyed toasting marshmallows on the camp fire. Thank you Mr Kershaw for a lovely afternoon.
We have also made decorations for our classroom to make it look like a royal castle.
We had such a fun week!
What a great day class 8 had designing their own crowns, making shields, having photos taken in front of our own castle and then finishing the afternoon with medieval dancing and banquet.
A shout out this week to our crew member, Charlotte who has recently achieved her 100m swimming certificate outside of school. A huge well done, Charlotte – we are all so proud of you!
From next week, and throughout the school year, Crews (roughly one per week) will be visiting the Pentecostal Charity Shop. If you have any donations at home which you wish to part with or have a declutter planned, please feel free to send items into school at any point and our crews will happily deliver. The items will need to be safe and easy enough for the children carry. No large, bulky or heavy items please.
Pass any bits you may wish to donate to Crew leaders and we will store, sort and deliver them throughout the school year!
Many thanks, from all crews at Green Top!
Today we learned about sorting objects in different ways. We enjoyed listening to the story ‘The Button Box’ and we had a go at sorting items in lots of different ways. The children had some great ideas about how they could sort the items e.g. by size, colour or shape. Logan, Eli and Dax also sorted the animals into ‘land’, ‘sea’ and ‘swamp’ animals. When sorting the buttons the children used some brilliant vocabulary to describe the groups they had made.
Great work Class 5!
