Letter Join Login Details
Following our wonderful parents/carers phonics session today, and in preparation for our lesson tomorrow, I am re-posting this blog with instructions on how to access and log in to Letter Join. In addition to this I have added a list of links to phonics game websites and links to other useful activities to support the children’s learning…
Here are the login details for you to access this wonderful letter formation app that is available online or from the ‘Other Apps’ section of the Green Top website. To access either log in at www.letterjoin.co.uk from a web browser or click the icon below in the top right hand corner of the Green Top website and scroll down to the Letter-Join app.
On the home screen, choose either the ‘Desktop’ or ‘Tablet’ option depending on which you are using and enter the log in details from the screenshot below. Once you are logged in, choose ‘Year 1’ and off you go! You can watch the letters being formed and then have a go at forming them yourself. This does work on a laptop but is much more effective using the touchscreen on a tablet or IPad. Anyone who sends in a photograph of them using the letter formation activities will earn 20 HoWL points!
Any questions please ask.
Enjoy!

Lest We Forget…
The children of Green Top found lots of ways to pay their respects today, and at the service in Thorne Park yesterday, to the countless, brave service men and women who paid such a heavy price for our freedom. We also learned of the other colour poppies; purple for animals, the black poppy rose for black, African and Caribbean communities and white poppies for all the people who have died in conflict, with a focus on an end to war.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
Green Top will remember them.
Faith Day 2 in Class 6
On Friday the children in class 6 spent the morning learning about Hinduism. We watched a video that told the traditional tale of Rama and Sita and then painted Rangoli patterns which are considered to be lucky in the Hindu faith. We also learned a traditional greeting…
Namaste from Class 6!
Remembrance Day
Year 3 learnt all about Remembrance Day and drew beautiful poppies and sang a song about Flanders Field in an ensemble. Here are all of their drawings accompanied by their wonderful singing. Well done Year 3, so proud of you!
Class 7 battering rams
Today, Class 7 have had a try at making their own battering rams, as part of DT. First we designed, then we made!
Class 7 remembers!
Class 7 made wreaths to remember and respect Remembrance Day. We observed a beautiful 2 minutes silence as well!
