Class 10 have loved reading the Chocolate poem. I think they enjoyed it so much because whilst I was reading it, they got to hold some chocolate in their hand just like the child did in the poem. We had lots of interesting discussion about the poem. Why he was holding it so tightly and why did he not just eat it straight away. It was so interesting to hear such creative answers backed up by evidence from the poem.

Here is a little preview aftermath of having to hold the chocolate so tightly in their hands and a short verse from the now very popular poem.

It’s always lovely to see what everyone gets up to outside of school so I was very proud to see these two absolute superstars bring in certificates for different awards.

Lily, well done in your latest dancing exam, you did amazing! Keep up the hard work and dedication! I hope to see you on broadway in the future (can I make a special request of front row seats now please?)!

Keira, you never seize to amaze me with your endless certificates for swimming and also martial arts. Again, keep up the hard work, dedication and determination. I hope to see you in the Olympics one day. I’ll be there cheering you on!

Well done girls!

I don’t get to spend time with KS1 children, so it was a privilege to take them to the Keepmoat stadium, along side Mrs Hardman, to play in a football tournament this afternoon.

All three teams played so well and they were a credit to Green Top. Both boys teams just missed out on the semi-finals due to goal difference.

Our girls team got all the way to the final! They drew 2-2 and it resulted in penalties which we drew again! So we had to go to sudden death and we just missed out on the 7th penalty! All children made both Mrs Hardman and I so proud!

We had many intense games so we didn’t get many photos. If anyone managed to get some photos of the event, please forward them to [email protected]

Thank you so much to all the parents who supported our children today. It really is appreciated! The support was amazing!

Keep up the awesome teamwork KS1 and thank you for a very enjoyable afternoon!

 

What an absolute privilege to be able to take these students and staff to the xpose conference today. They shared their views and experiences in their workshops ‘we are crew too’ and ‘why is Green Tops roof Green?’

If you’re on Twitter please see the #xpose2019 for all the coverage of a truly amazing day.

In our computing theme lesson last week, Class 11 have learnt all about algorithms and debugging. They have done this through learning the triangle dance, and then worked in groups to write their own algorithm. After that, they then swapped algorithms with another group to see how they could each be improved and debugged.

It was fab to see everyone so involved and motivated!

What a great afternoon on our most recent family learning!

Children and parents worked hard to create their own chocolate poems and also their own chocolate packaging!

Thank you so much to parents, grandparents for your continued support.

Nursery had lots of fun at their second forest school session yesterday. The children creatively made dream dolls after a story under the trees and made smores after working together to make a fire! Mrs Robertson praised our listening skills and our ability to stay safe.

Year 1 have had a busy afternoon making tiger masks and having a tea party to hook into our new class text The Tiger Who Came To Tea. The children have had a great time and we even got slightly distracted by the very cute ducklings that were running around outside.

 

A huge thank you to all the parents that donated buns or biscuits for our tea party. Your help is hugely appreciated.

 

Thank you
