XP Festival of Arts and Culture 2025 – Tickets available now!
On Friday 11th July, the XP Festival of Arts and Culture returns to XP Doncaster, bringing together students, families, staff and artists for a joyful celebration of creativity and community.
Throughout the day, you’ll experience live music, powerful performances, vibrant art installations, and the beautiful work that defines XP. Students from every XP Trust school will be contributing, sharing their talents and passions through exhibitions, dance, storytelling, and more – all designed to connect, inspire and make a difference.
The festival is a key moment in our XP Live programme – a growing Trust-wide initiative that gives young people authentic opportunities to produce, perform and create. It builds on our commitment to purposeful learning and supports our belief that every child can do meaningful, creative work that impacts the wider world.
More details on the line-up will be shared soon – we can’t wait to welcome you.
3B are Geologists
Thank you, Andrew!
We have been visited by a real-life geologist! Andrew came to visit to speak to us about the rock cycle and how different types of rock are formed. He was fascinating and even taught us about the rock beneath our school!
He brought lots of samples of different rocks with him. Some had traces of silver in them! Looking at and exploring rocks with him has really helped us to build our background knowledge for this case study.
Thank you Andrew!

Amazing artwork!
We are looking forward to the next Young Readers event.
A few weeks ago, we were visited by staff from Amazon who launched their Young Readers event with us. We listened to a great story about super heroes then designed our own super hero in small groups. We even got to dress a person from each group up as the super hero that we designed! It was great fun!
Later on, every child was lucky enough to be able to choose a book to keep. There was a huge selection to choose from and everyone seemed to enjoy their choice as they relaxed with a biscuit and quiet book reading time…
The next event is next week…I can’t wait! I love books.

We are tackling time!
Year 3 have been working really hard on ‘time’ just recently. We’ve grappled with everything from reading and writing Roman numerals; to telling and drawing the time to the exact minute on a clock face and on a digital device.
Everyone has worked so hard to get better at telling the time, but many of us still need to get better at it. Please keep asking your children what the time is at home to support them with their learning in school.
Thank you

3,2,1…Beautiful Artwork!
In 2L the children have been looking at the work of artist Peter Thorpe. Peter Thorpe created artwork inspired by outer space and used bold, bright colours to bring his imagination to life. The children used painting and pastel techniques to create these beautiful pieces of artwork. They worked really hard and their artwork is fantastic. What do you think?

Viking Sculptures
2P have been learning about the Vikings as part of our Expedition and we used our artistic skills to create a paper sculpture of a Viking Longboat. It was extremely challenging and we had to use great teamwork, communication, resilience and perseverance. In the end, we got there and did a fabulous job! Well done 2P!

Peter Thorpe art
2P has been learning all about the Space artwork produced by the artist Peter Thorpe. We used this inspiration to create our own pieces of artwork where we painted with everything EXCEPT a paintbrush! We used sponges, card and combs to produce the overall effect of a rocket in space. We think they look amazing!
