Year 4 Family Learning/Celebration of Learning

We had a fantastic afternoon yesterday celebrating our autumn Year 3/4 product- our TikTok videos. Children loved seeing all of their hard work payoff by watching themselves and their crew on screen in the hilariously creative, but factual short clips about the Roman Empire. We hope that you all enjoyed them too? Don’t forget that if you would like to share these clips with family and friends they are on our Green Top School you tube page.

We also had our family learning event yesterday afternoon too for our most recent expedition ‘Why should we protect our beautiful planet?’. We linked family learning to Case Study 3 which was a music focus and of course had a music quiz!! There was such a lovely buzz in the air with excited and enthusiastic children (and grown ups) all ready to test their musical knowledge.

Thank you to everyone who came, it was great to have you all back in school, face to face to celebrate the wonderful work that our children work so hard to achieve. Your support is appreciated, as always!

Beautiful description!

The children have been writing their final descriptions today. The ambitious vocabulary that they have used has blown me away and the progress they have all made, makes me very proud of their super learning.

Well done class 8

Diverse crew work

The children have been learning about how people are different this week. They have made some jigsaw puzzle pieces of different people to show that everyone is equal and that we accept and embrace everyone’s uniqueness. I think we do a great job of accepting diverse needs at Green Top.

Great work

Key stage 1 family learning

Please keep this date in your diary… Monday 9th May 2022

In our next expedition we are looking in detail at Thorne, including the history of our school and community. We would like to invite family members to an informal coffee morning where you can have a drink and a bun while sharing your experiences of how Thorne and Green Top has changed over the years. If you have experience of living in a contrasting area too then it would be great for the children to be able to compare. Even better, if you have old photographs to share then we would love to see them.

Thank you

Y6 Maths Support

Mr Mumby has made a fantastic maths website to support the Y6 children with their arithmetic skills.

On the website you will find lots of models to help the children with some of the different arithmetic skills that can be a bit tricky – there are also lots of practise questions to try afterwards.

All of our monthly arithmetic tests are also on the website so why not have a go at improving your score!

If there is anything that you cannot access, please let the Year 6 teachers know 🙂
