Yesterday we had a special visitor in EYFS, Goldilocks came to see us! She told us all about what happened in her story, and how she came across the Three Bears house. We asked Goldilocks lots of questions and sang a the Goldilocks song with her.
In English, we have been looking for and suggesting different partitive nouns to show how much of a particular something we have. The children suggested a teaspoon of sugar; a loaf of bread; and a bolt of lightning amongst many others. They were then able to insert missing partitive nouns into a recipe for hot chocolate.
We wanted to help The Troll and The Billy Goats become friends so we tried to find a way for the Billy Goats to be quiet when crossing the bridge. We predicted which materials would be best to make socks for the Billy Goats and tested them out. Watch our video to see the results!

Well done Amelia on being chosen as our Pride of Plover today. You have shown so much kindness to your friends and you are always caring for them and helping them. You are a superstar.
Hana and Noah got our yellow T-shirts this week! Both children have done some fantastic re-telling of our Three Billy Goats Gruff story. Hana has worked extremely hard on her speech and phonics sounds and Noah has settled beautifully into our class, and has been using the big boy toilet. We are so so proud of you both – keep it up.
The Staff Day in January saw the launch of our proposed teaching and learning model as part of our Festival of Learning. The event took place at XP Doncaster and was attended by staff from across all schools in the Trust. All staff had the opportunity to explore the model in more depth as well as attending other workshops on different parts of the model.
This is part of the Trust’s commitment to ensure that we expose more students to more impactful teaching more of the time.
Beautiful Curation: A Christmas Carol
There is now an awesome display at XP to celebrate the Christmas Carol Study Guide – the beautiful work of last year’s Year 11s. Be sure to go and admire their hard work on display!
I could not be prouder of Bobby-Jack who went home last night and wanted to continue his expeditionary learning at home. He has produced the most beautiful home learning! A total star! 10 crew coins Bobs!
This week we have been learning an alternative version of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. This has helped us to answer our case study question “How can the goats and the troll be friends?” The children acted out the story and made the goat’s feet quieter using socks and boots.
