We have been working hard in our phonics sessions, practising the formation of our letters and reading sentences. Super stars 🌟

We have strategised in our counting collections library, using 100 squares and number tracks to help us count how many objects we have altogether…

We have been making marks in the ice, discussing and noticing the changes that we see…

We have put up our class Christmas tree 🎄 It was a team effort! 🥰😊 I think you will all agree it looks dazzling 👍

Pride of Thorne Awards

This very special event has brought together nominees from across Green Top’s local community who have been recognised for their invaluable work both with and for the people of Thorne. From food banks to emergency services to care homes – all were presented awards by KS1 children at Green Top, as part of their Expedition ‘Not all superheroes wear capes’. The list and variety of work celebrated this evening was incredible and each and every award was so well deserved. Congratulations to all of you from Green Top!

🥁Nursery’s Celebration Of Learning 🏅

28th November 2023Sarah Winkley

Today Nursery hosted their very first Celebration of Learning to draw our expedition to a close of “What do stories tell us about Autumn?” Both Morning and Afternoon Nursery shared their learning through a series of photo slides and interaction. They sang songs to their parents and then added decorative touches to complete the final product with their parents, making the whole project a community affair. Our Bird Boxes look beautiful and are now ready to go their new homes. The children also shared their learning journeys, show casing all of their beautiful work so far! Well Done Nursery you did a great job!

Class 1- We are mathematicians 🔢🌟

23rd November 2023Elouise Chadwick

We have been practising counting objects accurately using our counting collections library. We choose a collection, strategise and plan how we will count, count the collection and then finally record our findings. The children have really impressed me, not only with their mathematical skills but also how well they support one another and work as a team 😀

You are all stars! 🌟

We are historians

23rd November 2023Emma Powell

In Year One we have been thinking about the past and how things were different when our older relatives were children. We looked at toys and other everyday household objects and sorted them onto a Venn diagram. This caused lots of discussions and we used words such as ‘then’, ‘now’, ‘past’, ‘present’ and ‘a long time ago’.

Act of kindness

23rd November 2023Anna Wojcik

In our crew, this week we have been thinking of different ways to show kindness. We worked in a team to make a collage showing our ideas.

We are Builders!

This morning Nursery have made some beautiful models. They have used their experience and imagination to create. Well Done!
