Green Top School

Year 3 | Uniform, PE and XP Outdoors

8th September 2024Jake Taylor

School uniform and equipment:

Please ensure all uniform is labelled with your child’s name. This ensures we have minimal to 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, letters etc).
All children should bring a name labelled water bottle filled with water only every day.

PE and XP Outdoors:

In Year 3, PE will be on a Monday afternoon and XP Outdoors will take place on a Wednesday. Below is a list of the required kit for each day.

Medieval Day

7th September 2024June Miller

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.

Class 7 Medieval day!

What a great day Class 7 had designing their own crowns, making shields and having a banquet!

We even had chance to have our photos taken in front of our own castle!

Have a great weekend Class 7! 🙂

What an amazing start to one of my favourite expeditions – ‘From Rags to Riches. What lies within the castle walls?’. The children have blown me away with their amazing attention to detail while sketching and colouring dragon eyes and then actually sculpting them in clay. Our classroom also looks amazing with a real castle play area and battlements, and the children have added to this by making sconces and coats of arms. Mr Kershaw was true to his word and we spent a lovely afternoon in our quad with him learning about fire safety and toasting yummy marshmallows! We finished our exciting week with a medieval dress up day, photographs under the amazing castle gate balloon arch, made for us by Elsie’s mummy, and a banquet with Mrs Clay and Xavier even treating us to some live entertainment!!

All of this has left us very excited to begin our proper learning next week.

Well done everyone!

A huge shoutout to this weeks postcard winners! ✨

Year 3 | WW2 Expert

6th September 2024Jake Taylor

What a pleasure it was for the children in Year 3 today as they were able to listen to our special guest Mick from Doncaster’s Victoria Cross Trust, who was kind enough to come in and talk to the children all about the Second World War.

We were able to learn about a local hero who received the Victoria Cross as well as experience some of the equipment and uniforms used by soldiers during the war.

Year 4 – our amazing WW2 expert

6th September 2024Alishia Pearson

We had a wonderful expert visitor in school today who had fantastic WW2 knowledge and had even researched into people who lived in Thorne but played keys roles in the war, one who was actually awarded the Victoria Cross.

The children also got to see different original items from the war, uniform, weapons, gas masks and lots of other items too. They were hooked! Just ask them about it, if they haven’t shared with you already.
