As a precautionary measure we have decided to cancel the lectures at Trinity Academy for Y5 and Y6 next week. This is not an essential visit and therefore we do not want to cause any unnecessary group gatherings. As an alternative the children will record their lectures in school as voice overs and these will be shared via links with parents and carers and hosted on the school blog to celebrate the learning.
Dear Parents and Carers within the XP Schools Trust,
As you are well aware the Corona virus (Covid 19) situation is escalating as we speak. The leaders within the XP School Trust would like to share our plans for dealing with this difficult situation.
Firstly we continue to monitor and receive daily updates from the government and continue to follow their advice. The five Schools within the Trust have made their plans in case the government instructs us to close or partially close. In the event of any closures, partial or full, we will use our official websites and social media stations to inform parents. We will also message via our text to parents service. We will remain open until the government instructs us otherwise.
In schools we have held assemblies / community Meetings to explain the situation to students and have posters around school regarding how to wash hands thoroughly. We have also had discussions in Crew on a daily basis to remind students about hygiene. In all Schools we have made provision for additional hand sanitiser to be made available and will request additional cleaning in our IT areas, ensuring keyboards are regularly wiped clean throughout the day.
We will be monitoring all Field Work plans and making a decision on a case by case basis, following LA and government advice. The Teachers and Leaders within the Trust are currently making plans for how they will provide learning opportunities and communication with their classes, if the government does instruct a partial or full closure.
Until we hear different, the schools within the XP Trust will remain open and continue to deliver great learning for all our students and will keep you all updated via websites and social media if anything changes.
This information will also be emailed and sent as a text to all parents on our system this evening – please update your information at the school office if you have not received it. I encourage you to subscribe to the school website so you receive the most up to date blog posts – this will be where the most up to date information will be given. (available at the bottom right of the front page).
Thank you for your support
The XP Schools Trust Executive Team
We have been so lucky in Years 5 and 6 over the past week. We have worked with Don Thomas, the astronaut and now we have had a lecture from Jim Kennedy, a retired director from NASA! What an amazing week we’ve had!
We are now busy preparing to deliver our own lectures next week.
Tuesday 17th – Y5 – 5:30 @ Trinity Academy
Thursday 19th – Y6 – 5:30 @ Trinity Academy
What a great end to a great day, getting one final picture with an astronaut! Don’t forget Don’s message … always follow your dreams and NEVER give up!
Class 16 have been busy preparing their parachutes in order to test whether different materials affect the effectiveness of the parachutes. We can’t wait to test them out – check back later to see our results!
We had some great costumes in class 16 today! I especially liked Cohen’s Mad Hatter costume and our range of Harry Potters!
We’re currently listening to what life is like for an Astronaut- live from America!
Wow! We are currently Skyping Don Thomas (an astronaut) all the way from Baltimore! Learning about his experiences in space is truly so exciting and inspiring!
