A big thank you from KS1
We wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you from Key Stage 1 to everyone who helped raise money towards the buddy benches. We were blown away by the kind donations, which will help us buy two handcrafted buddy benches for the playgrounds as part of our current expedition.
Well done to everyone who donated money and completed their sponsored walk today. It really was a big crew effort!
We look forward to sharing our designs and the finished product shortly.

Well Done Sandall Beat FC
A huge proud shout out to our local under 8’s football club Sandall Beat! Who completed a sponsored walk at the weekend which raised over £600 for their club and have very kindly donated some of the money to charity.
They walked to the Cenotaph at Elmfield Park, to lay a wreath for Remembrance Day on Sunday.
Most of the team are Plover Y3 superstars: Samuel, Bobby, George, Theo and Jenson.
Well done you legends! #LovePlover
Thank you to the Spar for their amazing donations!
We wanted to thank the spa for their very generous donations of hotdog buns for our Halloween disco we ran a few weeks ago. We are so grateful! We hope you like your card!

Some beautiful work to acknowledge remembrance day throughout the school ❤️
We started our day with a beautiful assembly led by our gorgeous year 5’s. They recalled knowledge from their WWII Expedition last year. They then were joined by some year 2’s who read their kenning poems and then Mr Chandler played a beautiful song ‘the last post on the trumpet whilst we all gave a minutes silence. I have then been sent some gorgeous work throughout school of remembrance work that children have been engaging with in crew this week.
Well done everyone!

Beautiful Work This Week
Flying Scotsman Centenary
Students from XP Doncaster were very lucky to be able to welcome Flying Scotsman home today as guests of Doncaster Council. They had the opportunity to see this iconic engine up close and meet so many people who have made this special visit happen.
They were also able to hand copies of the newly published book ‘Rail CIty’ to those who had so kindly contributed to it … but more on that next week!
Final Product Preview: Beautiful Sewing at Norton Juniors!
XP Gateshead: Unheard voices of WWI
Last year, Y8 at XPG recorded a radio broadcast of unheard voices from WWI. They did this to honour the sacrifices of those who are sometimes forgotten when we remember the victims of WWI.
We are proud to share that this broadcast will be played on Memory Lane Radio on Saturday 11th November at 11am (their Armistice day slot!) Reuben visited the studio with Mrs Downes and was interviewed about the project. We will share a link to this interview in the coming days.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow to hear this beautiful work on the radio!
