Today, Mr Longley came to see our maths work. We showed him our ten fat sausages game to help us learn the numbers that make ten. After carpet time, Tommy made some work to show the numbers that go together to make ten. He didn’t have any help and he talked about the pairs of numbers that make ten, with confidence. Well done Tommy!

Today, we tasted ice cream and voted for our favourite flavour. We made a tally chart and worked out the total numbers. We could then talk about the least and most popular flavours. We decided to transform our role play are into an ice cream shop. We made a sign, menus and pictures to enhance our role play area. We can’t wait to play together and see which is the most ordered flavour of ice cream.

Using the dictionaries and thesauruses that Mrs Graves has recently bought for school, we have been able to find synonyms and antonyms without having to ask for help! We feel so proud of ourselves and will get quicker at finding the words the more that we practise.
Thank you Mrs Graves, we love these!

In 2L this week we have been writing recounts and have been focussing on writing accurately in the past tense. The children enjoyed finding verbs and then used their magic wands to put them into the past tense. They knew to watch out for the sneaky verbs that were trying to catch us out by not ending in ed.

In 2L we have all been working hard to improve our handwriting so every week we will celebrate with a ‘Piece of the Week’. Everyone has been trying hard and congratulations go to Paisley for her beautiful writing last week and Sergei for his this week. Well done both of you! I wonder who our winner next week will be….
Keep it up everyone!

This weeks Pride Of Plover has gone to Ocean and Otis. Both children have settled into school beautifully, work so hard and are kid members of our crew. They are a pleasure to teach and always have a smile on their faces, so proud of you both, keep it up.

This week we have been following instructions to build sandcastles, linking to our expedition; what happens where the sea meets the shore?

Better World Day is EL Education’s annual event showcasing student learning that contributes to a better world. Students work in partnership with each other and their local communities on this day to engage in and celebrate meaningful student work that positively impacts the world around them.
As a partner and friend of the EL Schools Network, XP Trust contributes to this every year. Like students at EL, all of our students are active citizens who engage in acts of service to their community – so naturally we have lots of Activism to share with the EL Crew.
This year, we’re celebrating all of our schools and their collective work. They’ve planted trees, created artwork for hospitals and raised money for worthy causes. Here’s just a few examples from this year of XP Schools making the world a better place.
Last week we welcomed a delegation from Catalyst Schools, an organisation in Northern Ireland that supports school leaders and teachers by exposing them to innovative educational experiences. Over the visit, they learned all about Crew and Expeditions from our awesome students at XP and XP East – including going to see world from across the Trust in Doncaster City Centre. As always we are delighted to welcome visitors into our Crew and share the beautiful work our students do every single day with the world.
