Service and community learning

5th September 2024Alishia Pearson

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!

Class 5: Amazing Maths

3rd September 2024Carly Schon

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!

Class 10 – Evacuees

2nd September 2024Claire Dutton

We’ve had a brill start to our expedition hook week today by learning all about evacuees and their experiences in WW2. We made wooden peg fighter planes and cardboard gas mask boxes before taking a trip as a evacuees to a local church where we wrote letters home and thought about the things we would take with us in a real evacuation.

A big shout out to those children who were able to dress up – you all looked amazing!

Welcome to Year 1

30th August 2024Carly Schon

We are excited to welcome all of our new parents and children to Year 1. We will keep parents up to date with things that are happening in school through our class blogs. Today we wanted to share a few expectations that help to keep Year 1 running smoothly.

  • Please ensure all uniform is labelled with your child’s name. If it is not labelled staff will label it. This ensures we have no lost property in school.
  • Please ensure children bring a bag to school each day to keep their belongings safe. Children are asked to keep many things safe in their backpack and it also helps children to carry all of their belongings at the end of the day (water bottles, jumpers, cardigans, reading books, letters etc)
  • All children should bring a water bottle filled with water only every day
  • Please remember we have a no toys rule in school – please keep all toys/teddy bears etc at home
  • All children will need a PE kit consisting of a dark green T-Shirt, Black shorts and trainers or pumps. These will be needed from the week beginning 9th September. We ask that all children bring their PE kits to school on a Monday and take it home on a Friday. For this reason it would be helpful if children’s PE kit was in a separate bag to their every day backpack.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask your child’s class teacher in person or via email.

We are looking forward to a super year in Year 1. We have some great expeditions, visits and visitors lined up for the children to enjoy. More information will be shared soon!

Class 5: Day 3

29th August 2024Carly Schon

What a lovely day we had today. The children are settling in beautifully! The children competed their morning activity as soon as they came into the classroom. Then in crew time we enjoyed working as a team to pass the hoola hoop around our circle. The children then showed off their phonics skills and myself and Miss Cooper were really proud of the beautiful presentation in ur writing books. After play we learned more about reducing, reusing and Recycling and began to make some posters to share with the other classes in school.

I am so proud of you Class 5 and I am super excited to see you all doing the Colour Run tomorrow!

Class 5: Day 2

Yesterday we had a great time visiting the XP Outdoors Camp. We sang camping song, read a story in the tents and had a play on the KS2 Trim Trail and 3G pitch. We are looking forward to returning next week to do a special activity with Mr Kershaw!
