We are delighted to be taking Year 5 children to the British Museum to support their Egyptian learning theme on Friday, and Year 6 are off to the Tate Modern to support their Modern Art projects next week. Croxley is lucky to have tube links to world's famous (and free!) museums on our doorstep. This also makes trips affordable for all. 

Year 3 have booked the popular and very successful Hazard Alley and Go Ape - details to come. 

Year 4 have the incredible Sailing week to look forward to, once things warm up!

As a school we promote hands-on real-life purposeful learning as a positive way of inspiring and engaging young minds to be even more curious. Thank you to all the parents able to support us with these experiences.

What helps a child to remember learning? (What we know at Little Green)

1. Building Connections between subjects around a theme

2. Giving learning a Purpose

3.  Making and ensuring learning is Challenging

4. Making learning Hands On and Real Life

5. Making learning Collaborative - a team effort

6. Giving children Choice and Voice within their learning

Year 5 completed their Chocolate theme, fulfilling all of the above intentions and promoting fantastic engagement with the learning.  The chocolate topic included , to name just a few:

• Maths - nets, measuring, weighing, adding

• English - logos, names, persuasive writing

• Science - ingredients experimenting reversible reactions 

• PE - healthy eating, health labels 

• DT - design and making packaging, chocolate creations

• Geography - South America Rainforest

• History - Mayan culture

• Computing - designing and printing packaging

• RE - Mayan culture and religion

A real Wow moment and, therefore, a real memorable moment for our children. We are also trialling a measure of memory over the coming months and beyond and we do believe that this approach is the most likely to make our learning memorable and something to build upon.

A final reminder that... we are passionately committed to engaging with our community and learning together. Based on a successful first Virtual Drop-In session in the Autumn Term, we are pleased to share details of our next session - please add these to your calendar and join us to learn together:
