Year 3: Mini Rabbit Got Lost!
Feel Good Week
EFL Kids Cup @ Watford FC
As previously mentioned, we are in the process of creating a museum in one of our corridors to celebrate our 75th anniversary. Next week, we'll be asking the children to be curious about what they'd like to know more about. Our hope is that this will give some structure and purpose to the exhibits.
In the meantime, if you are a former Little Green pupil, or perhaps you know someone who went to Little Green at some point over the last 75 years, we'd like your help. We're on the lookout for old photos, letters, certificates, pieces of work, uniform, coloured PE shirts - anything that gives us a snapshot of Little Green's past. We are also going to try and piece together some data that we could use as a learning tool in school.
The first step is to get as many former Little Green pupils to complete this form: https://forms.gle/tEoq3jaz3Juh1xDh8 - please feel free to share the link with your friends and on social media.
We'll be inviting the children to take part in a research project over the half term break - more details to follow next week.
If you have any ideas, or would like further information, please contact Mr Flint via the school office.
Our Year 5 children were the last Year 5 class to visit the Egyptian displays at the British Museum last week - real life awe and wonder. This highlights one of the ways we drive a love of learning and a greater curiosity for our children. It also links nicely to our wider developments around how we teach History and how we are planning to link our 75th Birthday, A School Museum, and the History Curriculum moving forward.
A special mention to our football team who represented the school so brilliantly last week - as I understand it, we were centimetres away from winning. nevertheless a brilliant experience and some wonderful memories and successes to build on.
Report from Mr Rivers:
Last week, Little Green took a team of footballers to Watford FC's Training Ground in London Colney to compete in the EFL Kids Cup.
The team put in some fantastic performances, remaining undefeated and winning their group after three wins and two draws. Three goals for Raihan and one each for Larry and Sam in the group stage gave the team massive confidence going into the semi-final.
Old friends and rivals, Holy Rood were up against us in the semis and gave us a tough game. After conceding an early goal, it was an uphill battle and even after hitting the post and the cross bar, the ball still didn't end up in the goal for Little Green.
A fantastic day and brilliant experience for the team who will be looking forward to seeing how Holy Rood get on in the next stages!
