The children have been busy writing presentation speeches and rehearsing their hand-shakes in preparation for the ceremony and cannot wait to welcome you all!

DATE: Thursday 23rd November

PLACE: Green Top School Hall

TIME: 4 – 5pm

Refreshments will be available and there will also be the chance to buy a digital copy of the amazing photographs that were taken of the children during our superhero dress up day at the beginning of term.

Please fill in this Google Form to request seats at the event. There is no limit to the number of other children you can bring but the adult seats will be restricted to 2 per KS1 class member.

If your child attends an after school club you could send in party clothes for them to change into and meet them at the ceremony. If not, you could take them home to change and return to school in time for the awards to begin at 4pm.

The children are looking forward to welcoming you all!

Lest We Forget…

Our children have spent the week leading up to Armistice day learning about the reason we wear the red poppy and have produced these stunning examples to display in our corridors.

A beautiful and fitting tribute to the fallen.

Caleb and Aurelia have done some Amazing home learning. Caleb drew a colorful picture of the great fire of London and was able to share with our crew what happened, why it happened and where it happened! Super!

Phonics this week

30th October 2023Amanda Wallace

This week in phonics we are consolidating all of the sounds that we have learned so far.

These are s/a/t/p/i/n/m/d/g/o/c/ck/e/u/r.

If you can continue practising the sounds with your children using the homework sheets that we have been giving out each Friday that would be helpful.

If you would like to have a go at the shared reading book for this week, the link is below.

Hello All,

We hope you have enjoyed the half term break and are feeling rested ready for our return to school tomorrow morning.

A reminder that Nursery and Reception family learning will run throughout the day on Wednesday 1st November in the school hall. Before half term, your child’s class teacher will have given you a slip with your child’s designated time for their dance session. The sessions are as follows:

9.30 am – 10.15 am – Some of Nursery

10.15 am – 11 am – Some of Reception

1pm – 1.45pm – Remainder of Reception

One parent/carer is invited to attend to join the children for Diwali/Bollywood dancing. Please come to the main school entrance 5 minutes prior to your designated time to sign in and ensure a prompt start.

If you haven’t already done so, please pay £5 on your child’s Parent Pay which covers the cost for yourself and your child to take part in what will be a very exciting and memorable family learning. School uniform is not required on Wednesday and we encourage children and adults to dress in comfortable clothing and trainers in readiness for the day ahead.

If you have any further questions, please ask a member of staff.

Many thanks for your ongoing support in your child’s learning.

Y6: Tropical World

23rd October 2023Chris Mumby

A great day was had by Y6 as we visited Tropical World in Leeds to further develop our understanding of biomes and habitats. Children were surprised by the humidity within the centre which made us realise what the conditions would be like in the Amazon Rainforest. Fortunately, the weather was on our side and we were also able to explore parts of Roundhay Park; taking part in a workshop comparing this forest to a rainforest.
