Story Map Re-telling

In English, we are looking at re-telling the story Journey by Aaron Becker. We use a story map to help us remember the first part and added actions to help us remember the words.

Can anybody remember all the words and actions tomorrow?

Fabulous models !

Alice, George and Florence created fabulous models as part of their home learning this week. The children spoke fondly about how they had created their models working with others at home. I am so impressed with the time and effort the children have spent working on expedition at home. Well done to all involved!

Can you order words alphabetically?

 

This week in spelling the children were challenged to order words in alphabetical order. They took on the challenge head on and even though they found it harder than they thought, they were able to sort them correctly in teams. Even managing to sort themselves into alphabetical order by their names.

Well done for being a Have a go Henry everyone!

Enjoy your weekend 🙂

UPDATE: Y5 and Y6 lectures next week

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.

Can you make equal groups?

Today Class 5 worked collaboratively to problem solve in maths. They had to find a number of groups they needed to put their 10 counters in so that the group size was equal. They then went on to explain why 4 groups wouldn’t work but that 5 groups would.

Well done everyone.

UPDATE: Coronavirus (Covid 19)

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
