Well done to this week’s times table rock stars! Incredibly, these children are answering times table questions in less than 3 seconds!
Who will be our next rock star?

Class 15 have been working on a formal letter this week. The pictures above show students supporting and critiquing their partner’s work to help them get better. The level of critique and conversation was inspiring and it resulted in some outstanding final touch downs!
Well done to Charley for achieving level three in her swimming last week and well done to Sophia for another fabulous piece of home work! £100 class cash each!
Times tables are a fundamental part of children being confident mathematicians. These calculations will form the basis of much of what they learn in maths right up to (and even beyond) their GCSE courses, such as division, algebra and fractions. The skills also filter beyond maths – and can be particularly useful in sciences, but most of all are useful in daily life.
Once children become fluent in times tables facts, they will begin to gain confidence in other areas of maths; they will see patterns and gain a deeper understanding of fractions, division and ratio to name a few.
At Green Top, we encourage children to develop their knowledge of times tables facts in different ways. We also recommend Times Tables Rockstars to further develop and consolidate their knowledge of the facts. All children have their own unique password and username which can be used at home as well as in school. Please contact your child’s classroom teacher for more information about this.

Class 5 have really enjoyed the Street Life Museum today. There were so many interesting modes of transport to learn about and explore. We even managed to do some sketching and research while we were there.
Thank you to the adults that helped today you were brilliant and your help is very much appreciated.
Thank you

Class 10 loved exploring Magna today! They visited the: water, fire, air and earth areas and then participated in a rocks and volcanoes workshop after lunch. We all had lots of fun!
C13 have continued to blow me away with their amazing learning attitudes! Again, they have been fantastic ‘Motivated Moes’ in maths when working with addition and subtraction. Everyone chose their own level of questions and worked on fluency, reasoning, problem solving at their own pace. They then checked their own answers using a calculator and were able to use their ‘Choosing Checking Changing Charlie’ skills to amend any answers!
Wow! Class 13 came back after the holidays with an amazing learning attitude! They enjoyed maths yesterday where they chose their own activities to practise addition and subtraction. There were some great learning legends and they all had to be Stickability Stans and Choosing Checking Changing Charlies!
The children were so enthusiastic throughout and were extremely proud when they had completed some of the challenging activities! Well done Class 13 you made me so proud!
 
Yesterday, year 4 visited Magna to learn more about volcanoes, rocks and some of the key properties of our world. They had the opportunity to create and erupt some more volcano to explore how they shape the earth and create land.
The classes particularly enjoyed the water and air zones and were blown away by the size of the steel works and Magna’s fire tornado. They immersed themselves fully in the experience and were a credit to the school.
Just because I know how much you all enjoyed these today… Here is an arithmagon challenge for you to do at home…
50 house points for anybody who completes them 🙂
