We have practised using subordinate conjunctions this week to add further detail to our sentences. We used roll mats to generate subordinate conjunctions that either had to go at the start of our sentences or in the middle.

KS1 Community Crew Meeting
Another fantastic week this week to celebrate!! KS1 have had a smashing time on Numbots recently and have taught Miss Rodgers some new types of metal as they’ve flown through the steps. Lots of lovely shoutouts for our stewardship this week too, particularly for working hard to take care of our jumpers and cardigans as the weather has got a bit warmer (fingers crossed it stays that way).
Big well done to our HOWL point winners this week, lots of hard work and quality craftsmanship from our children, we love it when you know you can be proud of your work! Crew Stone won the most attendance this week, it’s great to see how proud the children were to win Paddington the attendance bear. Well done guys!!!
Finally, big well done to our Crew Champions this week in KS1 who have been following all of our HOWLs, improving in their learning, showing respect and quality craftsmanship!
Reception Family Learning
A huge thank you to all the adults who joined us today for our pirate themed family learning! The children looked amazing as they embarked on a day of all things pirate! Pirate writing, stories about pirates, the singing of sea shanties and an afternoon of family learning. The children took part in a treasure hunt collecting the treasure chest pieces to create a jigsaw. This led them to the chest of treasure…a yummy chocolate coin or 2! The children then enjoyed making their own treasure maps!! What a fantastic day!
Year 3 XP Outdoors!
WOW what a fun morning year 3 have had! Mr Kershaw taught the children how to make brownies in oranges and cook them on the fire. The children practised fire safety and cooking all in the same lesson.
Nursery Pirate Crew are looking forward to welcoming their families at 2pm!
MND awareness day 2024
A huge thank you to all of our school community for making our MND awareness day a massive success. Jake, Jake’s family and I would like to thank everyone for getting involved and supporting this fantastic cause. So far the total raised has exceeded £2,600! Every penny raised will make a difference to people with MND and their families. This money will contribute to vital research, to support the fight to find a cure and to support people living with MND now. Here is a small snippet of our day- I hope you find it heart-warming. As a school, we are proud of Jake’s positive activism, compassion and courage. We feel is it important to share our stories at XP; to date, the video has over 25,000 views attracting the attention of Leeds Rhinos, Rob Burrows’ parents and former players. This week we will celebrate ‘Better World Day’ in our crews and this act of kindness optimises what it means to make the world a better place.

Class 8 shared reading
We spoke a lot today about how to read with a partner and being engaged in the lesson and the children in my reading group were on fire! Great inferences of the text today and lovely, fluent reading. Keep it up Class 8!
