Today we have enjoyed the sunshine in the garden making the most of our new areas of learning and new resources. As you can see there were lots of happy faces today.
Immersion in Nursery looking beautiful
Our immersion is off with a bang in Nursery for our expedition ‘What happens when the sea meets the shore?’ The children have worked really hard with the grown ups to make Nursery a beautiful place to be which will inspire our learning.
Items needed in Nursery for a bug hotel…
Next week, the nursery children are going to be building a bug hotel. We would love it if you would be able to bring in any pieces if wood, sticks, leaves, branches and wooden pallets so we can build a wonderful bug hotel.
Many thanks for your support.

Shiver-me-timbers! These cheeky pirates have been causing trouble in Nursery! They are WANTED! 10 Howl point reward for anyone who can find them!
Planting in Nursery
The children this week have been busy planting beetroot and sunflowers. We are going to care for the plants and watch them grow through the summer term.
Keeping safe around dogs
Following the Year 6 visit to Crucial Crew on Monday, a useful handout about keeping safe around dogs has been shared. Please share and discuss with your children.
Class 7 found a time capsule!
Yesterday afternoon class 7 have been on a clue finding treasure hunt, answering lots of questions to find the word ‘office’. So off we headed to find our treasure, and what a wonderful treasure we found! At the office, there was a time capsule, from 2000!
Back in the classroom we circled up to find what was inside. We read letters from students at Green Top 24 years ago, we looked at photos, found a bobble head of David Beckham, a 24 year old Pokémon card and lots of other awesome things. We discussed the similarities and differences between what we found from 24 years ago, compared to things that we play with, like and learn about now! I wonder what children in another 24 years would think!?
Crew Knowles: Giant Sweet Wrappers!
We love the giant sweet wrappers we created as part of our family learning! Everyone worked super hard on them today to improve them further!
Class 8 visitor and more classroom immersion
The children have drawn some fantastic coloured pencil sketches of landmarks in Thorne. They have looked at the lines and shapes and added detail to the buildings. I am really impressed with the effort that they went to. They have also drawn some of the logos of places that they see in Thorne.
On top of that, we have had a visit from a fantastic Doncaster author called Phillip Sheppard who has shared some of his stories and shown us his sketch book. He was a great expert to have in school who knows a lot about the history of Doncaster. We will be using his books throughout this expedition!
Year 6 – XP outdoors
Please can children bring a change of sensible clothes for XP Outdoors on Friday Mornings this term. They will also need a change of shoes.
Many thanks,
Mr Mumby, Mr Ambler and Mrs Jackson
