Lennon’s generous donations to the Plover pantry

A huge shout out to Lennon for his generous donation for the Plover pantry. A beautiful example of a ‘4’ in his ‘be kind’ strand of his HoWLs.

A polite reminder that we are kindly asking for donations towards harvest in exchange for participating in the colour run next Thursday. Please pass your donations on to your child’s class teacher who will blog the photos.

It’s all material.

2P have continued our investigation into materials and the suitability of materials for different purposes. We sorted materials by their properties and then investigated whether they were waterproof, strong and windproof. We discovered that materials can be different depending on what they are used for. We tested whether our outside wooden shed was waterproof by standing inside it and pouring water over the roof. We discovered that although the wood was generally waterproof, there were a few holes that allowed the water in! A small shock for a few children! We then collected our results and decided which materials would be best to build a house from.

Beautiful Work This Week

Outward Bound 2024: XP Doncaster and XP Gateshead

This year, we were lucky enough to have new Year 7s from both XPD and XPG working closely together at the Ullswater and Howtown Outward Bound centres. As a result, we were able to capture these wonderful highlights of both sets of students building Crew and expressing what it means to be Crew at the end of their week in their first ever presentation of learning.

Beautiful Curation across the XP Trust

More beautiful work has been made public this week – in both Plover and Carcroft School. Look at these awesome selections from final products, now curated for all to see!

XP Trust Crew Away Day @ YWP

Our Heads, Admin, Facilities and Comms Crews came together to further develop positive relationships and build Crew at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. They spent the day exploring Case Studies to improve communication and conceptual understanding around day-to-day crucial aspects of what we do at XP Trust.

The day was extremely positive and productive – thank you to YWP for your hospitality!

To be or not to be!

2P have been learning about different verb types in English. We are becoming very good at recognising action verbs and verbs ‘to be’ and ‘to have’. We went on a verb hunt today to spot each different type of verb and then we recorded them in the correct group. Great work 2P!

6B are marvellous mathematicians

6B have worked so hard during their maths lesson. They are squared and cubed number experts! Ask your children to explain what a squared number and what a cubed number is. Keep working hard 6B- you superstars!
