We’d like all parent/carers opinions on school dinners, including those who’s children have packed lunches. XP Trust would like as many children as we can having delicious healthy meals so your and your child’s opinions are important to us. Children will be asked about their dinners at school but it would be good to have parent/carer opinions too.

Year three have tried really hard to get smart in all Maths lessons by listening to instructions and following them carefully. The children have been checking in with a coach if they felt they needed a little more help or just knuckling down and cracking on alone if they felt the confidence to do so.
What a fantastic group of mathematicians!

Does a noun refer to a person or a thing? Show me with your body shape…
I think we need to work on making the shape of a letter P with our bodies. Maybe more of a lean to the side is required guys!
At least you knew what each noun referred to and had the chance to prove your learning in an active way.

Crew Haycock worked hard to find the best way to balance a ruler between the fingers of two crew mates. Then from their standing position, the pair had to lower themselves into a sitting position and get back up again without dropping the ruler. They quickly discovered, as with some of our other crew challengers, communication is key!

The children and staff at Plover were superstars in explaining their positive experiences regarding the OSF funding they secured last year, to provide after school and community clubs! Plover have been lucky enough to secure some OSF funding this year too, so watch this space for Community Clubs starting in October! #LovePlover
We don’t just ensure our work is made public – it needs to live inside our school communities, too! More beautiful work has been curated at Plover School, celebrating their ‘Pride of Plover’ award winners and recent Expedition products!
One of our great friends and mentors, Ron Berger, once said to us that ‘staff culture can never outpace student culture.’ With this firmly at the forefront of our minds we set out last week on our bi-annual outdoor staff induction process with a group of educators from across our Trust.
We headed out into the wilderness to answer the guiding question, ‘What does it mean to be Crew?’ through a number of shared experiences and activities our Crew formed very quickly. We explored the purpose of Crew deeply and considered how we could make Crew even stronger on our return to our respective schools so that we continue to create the culture in which our students grow their character and make our community and the world a better place for everyone.
Below is an immediate reflection from one of our XP educators:
‘This experience has helped me to understand the building of community. The support that other members of our Crew showed this week has been immense. There have been some activities that have been challenging but everybody has been supportive whilst giving positive challenge so that everybody has been able to push themselves in a safe environment where everybody trusts each other and it’s lifted me and made me feel that I can achieve anything I put my mind to with the support of other people.’ – Louise
It was an honour and privilege to support and challenge our adults to reflect on the imperative we all have at XP to become and create great learners and even better human beings!
We are Crew!

We had a ‘beary’ lot of fun yesterday for our family learning. A huge thank you to all the parents/guardians that came along to support us.

Welcome our crew bear… Rainbow!
In expedition we learnt about the history of how teddy bears are made. We then discussed the instructions on how to make a bear. As a crew we worked together to build a bear. We described how our new bear felt and shared kindness messages for our crew bear. In crew, we showed democracy to vote for the name of our crew bear from the children’s suggestions. Check the results below… we will look after you Rainbow! #LovePlover
