Today in club children have been sketching their own beautiful poppies ready in Remembrance Day.
Remembrance Sunday – Thorne Memorial Park!
A huge thank you to Poppy and Letti for representing Green Top during the Remembrance service in Thorne Memorial Park on Sunday!
Also a HUGE shoutout to Mrs Rodgers for preparing such a beautiful wreath – I’m sure you agree it represents our school perfectly.
Extended Study – Kindness Day – 13th November
To celebrate National Kindness Day we would love to see some extended study focussing on being kind and thankful to some of the special people in our lives.
Can you create a poster, letter or postcard to a friend or member of staff to show kindness.
Remember to bring them to share in Crew next Monday before we share them.
What a lovely way to spread kindness!!
Year 1 Phonics Family Learning
Year 1 staff would like to invite you to our Phonics Family Learning event! The event will take place on Thursday 27th November 9:00am-10:00am. The session will be a live phonics lesson taught by Miss Schön or Miss Rodgers. You are invited to join your child in their phonics lesson so that you can understand how your child learns phonics in school.
Unfortunately we are unable to cater for younger siblings at this event as this will be the children’s daily phonics lesson.
The school hall will be open from 8:30am for hot drinks. Please access school via the hall. We ask that you arrive on time for a 9am start so as not to disrupt the children’s lesson with late arrivals.
We hope you can join us! Please let us know if you can make it or not by filling out the Google form below. This will help us to effectively plan for the number of adults planning to attend.
Thank you,
Miss Schön and Miss Rodgers
