Piece of the Week

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!

F2 local area walk

We went to post our postcards to Helen today. We followed a trail and answered clues along the way. The footsteps on the map showed us which way to go.

Pride Of Plover

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.

Beautiful Work This Week

We’re celebrating EL’s #BetterWorldDay at XP Trust!

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.

Visitors from Northern Ireland!

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.

Expert Artist

Yesterday we had the best morning! Helen came to visit and showed us how to paint with different media and techniques. We had a go at painting our own postcards from the seaside. Mrs Bubb was blown away by our masterpieces! What do you think? Can you see the different ways we use our brush to create movement. Can you see the correct colours we have picked?

This morning, we pretended to be on holiday and wrote a postcard. Can you see our capital letters, finger spaces and full stops, and of course, our awesome use of phonics? #loveplover

6B are smashing their arithmetic!

Just look at how many of this lovely lot are in the high 20’s and 30’s on their final arithmetic test before SATs. 6B have worked so incredibly hard and I know they will continue to push on in these last few days. We are so proud of them all! They are ready and eager to smash their gaps as they are all so desperate for full marks on their maths test! You can do it 6B!

We are Geographers!

Today we recapped our prior knowledge about the 7 continents. Then we located where the United Kingdom is and other countries in Europe. Finally we made the 7 continents out of playdoh. #LovePlover
