In crew, the children were looking through their maths books today to find work that they were proud of that they would like to share with parents. We had great discussions about their previous learning and about the improvements they have made this year in terms of maths.
I love our crew sessions where we reflect on our learning journeys and think about how we are going to move forward! Well done!

Class 8 have been practicing their new spelling words for this week. Words that end in ‘il’ or ‘al’ such as pencil or animal.
I can see a huge improvement in spellings within the children’s writing. Thanks so much for your support at home with this…its having such a positive impact!

We began our new case study today, which is art and we have been looking into artists and the types of sculptures that they have made.
I put a huge pile of rubbish into the middle of the classroom and the children enjoyed creating their own sculptures.
They only had 10 minutes but still managed to create a piece of art that they were all proud of…look at some of these masterpieces…
Well done class 8, Mrs Shaw x
‘The best lesson ever’ was just one of many quotes today as we embarked on making our photo frames for our expedition lesson. The children used mitre blocks to accurately cut 45 degree angles to create a high quality finish, ensuring that their work met the success criteria. We have had great fun today making our frames and it was lovely to see the children grappling with a practical task. Keep your eyes peeled for how our work develops and how it links to Mrs Green’s art sessions! Well done crew Mumby, your crew norms were brilliant and you used the equipment safely and sensibly!
For our final product this term, we are going to create a sculpture out of recycled materials. In class 5, we are going to use materials such as clothes, zips, buttons etc. If you have any of these items spare that would normally be going in the bin, please feel free to bring them in to help us create a beautiful piece of art. Our aim is to be artivists, raising awareness of the damages and environmental chaos caused by pollution and humans own impact!
ITEMS WANTED:
Zips (for sea anemones and jellyfish tentacles), denim (for fish and sea), buttons (for the sea bed), wool (for puffer fish and to sew materials together), hessian bags (for the sea bed). If anyone has an old transparent rain coat or something of similar material that would also be useful to create a jellyfish!
Thanks, Miss Good and class 5!
Well done to Lexi, Alfie and Rori who are the postcard winners in Nursery today! Thank you for working hard, being kind and getting smart!
Friday 18th March 2020 is Red Nose Day in the UK. At Green Top we will be raising money for the event by selling red nose’s. Red nose’s will go on sale from tomorrow and school councillors will be bringing them to each class in the mornings, priced at £1.50. On the day, we will also be raising money by wearing something red and bringing in a £1 donation. To go along with this, the school council have also thought of some activities that we will be doing in the afternoon.
We started our morning in a really fun way with our ‘Book and a Bun’ session in Nursery. The children loved sharing stories with a sweet treat and it was lovely to have some parents to stay to read too! We’re going to be repeating these sessions again on Wednesday 27 April, Wednesday 18 May and Wednesday 15 June. We hope you’ll be able to join us.
Chayce you have blown me away today. You have followed all our crew norms and have tried so hard to impress all the teachers today. Your writing was amazing and you managed to achieve green standard. Keep up the good work.

Jaiden was a finalist in his first ever martial arts competition in 4 areas: sparring, grappling, forms and sports swords.
Jaiden came a fantastic 2nd place in sparring, grappling and forms but he came an amazing first place in sports swords!
Well done, Jaiden! We are super proud of you!
