What an amazing the day. The children have learnt about creatures that live in rock pools. They were really gentle with the sea creatures and many of them held them. The Aqualease team commented on how polite, respectful and well behaved the children were too.
We hope you enjoy watching our video. There may be more photos to attach.

Wow! What an amazing experience we had today. The children had so much to say when they had their turn exploring the creatures. They listened beautifully and loved having hands-on experience! Thank you to our parents for supporting your children and enabling them to have this amazing opportunity in school. They have loved it! I cannot wait to see their beautiful work throughout the week. Watch this space!
We have all had a very exciting day today, Aqualease came to visit us with some rockpools! We saw a starfish, hermit crab, spider crab, coral, shark eggs and lots of other things. We hope you enjoy our video attached below of our exciting expert visitors. Some of us were very brave and even held the sea creatures. Thank you to all parents for your support towards this amazing experience, without you this could not have gone ahead.

2P has been learning about the two main types of Geography; human and physical. We now know the difference between each different type. We then used our skills to identify these features in locations around Doncaster. We concluded that Doncaster is mainly made up of human features but we agreed we need more physical features as well!

Our lovely Year 6’s enjoyed a well deserved treat on Friday afternoon. They had ice-creams and slushes in the sunshine! They have worked so incredibly hard this year and no matter what the outcome this upcoming week, they have most definitely done themselves proud!
See you in the morning Year 6 ready to smash the SATs tests!

Year 9 students at XPG have embarked on their “You Give Me Fever” Expedition, which has culminated in their inaugural Public Health conference, addressing the challenges of public health amidst the cost-of-living crisis. Through three case studies examining historical and current health influences, they explored the impact of living conditions, government structures, and scientific advancements on people’s well-being.
This comprehensive analysis has also resulted in a formal report that presented key health risks for Gateshead’s residents, particularly in the context of the cost-of-living crisis. The report will be shared with the Health and Social Care Committee in Parliament.
Freya, a Year 7 student at XP Gateshead has created a beautiful piece of work that has been awarded a place in one of the most prestigious art galleries in the world. The Royal Academy is famous for showcasing new and established artists, bringing their work to a whole new audience.
The Young Artists Summer show, which is open for submissions to students studying in the UK aged from 4 – 19, opens in London on the 16th July and runs until the 11th August.
Freya’s painting Mr Pigeon was part of the expedition ‘Do your bit’ and honours the sacrifice that carrier pigeons made during WW1 and has been chosen from 21,500 other submissions. A remarkable achievement for a clearly talented and inspiring young artist.
We’ll follow up this story when Freya’s artwork is in place at the Royal Academy!
As part of their Expedition ‘You Give Me Fever’, C28 celebrated their learning this week – complete with a gallery of their incredible artwork. They shared scientific writing about diseases and their impact on society, dating back to the middle ages.
They sold their prints to raise money for their DofE Expedition – and the content will also be made into a book later in the year!
