Celebrating Harvest in True Greenfields style!

Miss Mitchell and Mr Thorne led the assembly on Thursday. Jane and Matthew from Kettering Foodbank joined us. Everybody was so impressed with the musical contributions - Harvest Samba and YR's rendition of Old MacDonald went down a storm! They thought about the importance of teamwork throughout. As the school has learned in their new PiXL teamwork lessons, Together Everyone Achieves More! This was evident in the Harvest contributions at the front of the hall! They could not have done this without YOUR contributions. Jane talked about where our food would be going and thanked us for the incredible teamwork that will make a very real difference to the lives of people in our community, who are less fortunate than ourselves. And without Matthew, who drives the van to distribute food, it also would not have been possible. Together, everyone really does achieve more.

At the end of our assembly, the school were treated to a musical extravaganza as Asmeena and Aliana from Year Four performed Jewish Wedding on their violins. The girls reminded everyone that practice makes progress and that you can achieve anything you set your mind to, with a bit of hard work.

Teamwork makes the Dreamwork

Saluting our Sisters

As part of Black History Month, 'Saluting our Sisters', Year Six have been studying the life of Katherine Johnson. The children enjoyed writing biographies, painting portraits and creating formulas for flight.

What an incredible woman she was.

Amazing Teamwork

The children in Year Two have been learning about teamwork and how to be a good team member. They put their team work skills to the test and they took part in a blindfolded obstacle course. They worked in small teams to help their blindfolded peer complete the course using clear instructions and great listening skills.

Difference is Great

This week the children in Reception have been enjoying drawing self portraits. The children have realised that everyone is different from our eye, skin and hair colour. It's great to be different and unique. Well done Reception.

Year Four 'WOW' This Week

They have been writing their hot writes based on the model text, 'Adventure at Sandy Cove'. They have had adventures in pyramids, in Greek caverns and even haunted mansions!

They have loved this Talk4Writing unit and watch this space for some budding authors of the future. Just look at the focus and enthusiasm for writing!

Magnetic Force in Year Three

Cheeky Monkeys designed their own scientific experiment in groups this week (using teamwork!) to test the strength of different magnets. The children really enjoyed being able to use everything they have investigated this term to help them design their final experiments and how they wanted to record their results.

Ladybird's Fire Time 🔥

This week in Ladybirds they had a fire for an end of term treat. All the children listened carefully to the rules before the fire was lit. The fire was then lit they watched the fire for a few moments and were able to see the fire was "orange, hot and smelly". They then put their marshmallow on the stick and toasted it over the fire.

Heartbeeps Workshop

Nursery and Reception had a lovely time during their Heartbeeps workshop where they had lots of fun developing their fine and gross motor skills.

Beating Hearts

In Science, Year Five have been looking at their hearts. In the final lesson this half term they have been looking at aerobic exercise and the impact on their pulse! They predicted that when they jog their pulse will get faster - THEY WERE RIGHT! How amazing is their scientific thinking - we are so proud!
