A huge shout out to Kiara who won the ‘Ben Parkinson courage’ award today for her commitment and resilience this year! We are so proud of her! As a reward for her hard work, Ben has kindly offered to pay for her place on the London trip. Ben would like to offer this every year as recognition to the individual who wins this annual award!

Thank you so much Ben and we are so pleased you liked the beautiful work the children have been working so hard on! We are so proud of this final product and can’t wait to see it up at the British Red Cross in Frenchgate very soon!

In TGB crew today we focused on our core strength, writing letters and crossing the midline. #LovePlover

Today in crew, we learnt about the significant event of Victory in Europe day – the events leading to and the subsequent celebrations of the end of World War Two. We then consolidated our knowledge by creating posters to decorate the classroom ahead of the 80th anniversary celebrations tomorrow.
I look forward to your designs forming part of our party decorations tomorrow, well done!
This afternoon we painted some red, white and blue Great Britain flags for our VE picnic next Thursday. #LovePlover
A massive well done to year 5 who joined the council and police neighbourhood teams yesterday to complete a very thorough litter pick in our local neighbourhood. It was wonderful to see you all working so hard to make Intake a better place!
Year 6’s joined in with the ice bucket challenge today- raising money for MIND UK. We have been learning about this charity in our crew sessions. If you would like to donate, please click the link below https://www.mind.org.uk/donate/
We are nominating Green Top Primary School Year 6’s!

Year 5 crews enjoyed stories in the sun today, well done to those helping each other with their reading.
In Crew today, we talked about road safety and made a shared poster to remind us to hold hands with a grown-up and use crossings when we can.

In Crew this week, Years 3 and 4 have been thinking about the health of their bodies as well as their mental health too. They have discovered that exercise is not only good for bodies, but that it also activates and cleanses minds; making people feel happier from the serotonin and endorphins that are released during the time that they exercise! Aerobic exercises like running, cycling and swimming are particularly effective. Exercise boosts the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which supports the production and release of serotonin as well as overall brain health! Because of this, Crew Haycock and 3H have pledged to carry out some physical exercise (in addition to their PE lessons in school) for ten minutes a day.
Go Crew Haycock – you’ve got this and so have I. I pledge to do this additional exercise with you!
