Thankyou so much to Ros Jones for coming into school today to talk about Doncaster and the improvements the council are trying to make. The children had some great questions and were hoping that Ros can help us to get our sign up in Thorne x x

Beautiful Work This Week
XPGPHC – How can we continue to make progress in public health?
Year 9 students at XPG have embarked on their “You Give Me Fever” Expedition, which has culminated in their inaugural Public Health conference, addressing the challenges of public health amidst the cost-of-living crisis. Through three case studies examining historical and current health influences, they explored the impact of living conditions, government structures, and scientific advancements on people’s well-being.
This comprehensive analysis has also resulted in a formal report that presented key health risks for Gateshead’s residents, particularly in the context of the cost-of-living crisis. The report will be shared with the Health and Social Care Committee in Parliament.
Art takes flight at XPG!
Freya, a Year 7 student at XP Gateshead has created a beautiful piece of work that has been awarded a place in one of the most prestigious art galleries in the world. The Royal Academy is famous for showcasing new and established artists, bringing their work to a whole new audience.
The Young Artists Summer show, which is open for submissions to students studying in the UK aged from 4 – 19, opens in London on the 16th July and runs until the 11th August.
Freya’s painting Mr Pigeon was part of the expedition ‘Do your bit’ and honours the sacrifice that carrier pigeons made during WW1 and has been chosen from 21,500 other submissions. A remarkable achievement for a clearly talented and inspiring young artist.
We’ll follow up this story when Freya’s artwork is in place at the Royal Academy!
Is Science enough to save lives?
As part of their Expedition ‘You Give Me Fever’, C28 celebrated their learning this week – complete with a gallery of their incredible artwork. They shared scientific writing about diseases and their impact on society, dating back to the middle ages.
They sold their prints to raise money for their DofE Expedition – and the content will also be made into a book later in the year!

Celebratory Party Lunch
Key stage 1 family learning
Key stage 1 would love to invite parents and carers to come on a local walk with their children to look at various landmarks and use maps to support their learning they have been doing in geography this term. If the weather is kind to us we may even have a chance to draw some of these beautiful places and buildings as we go along our journey.
Year 1 family learning will take place on Tuesday 21st May
Year 2 family learning will take place on Wednesday 22nd May
We will be leaving school at 9 o clock but you are welcome to come into school and join the children for their morning activity from 8.30 or come back to the office for 9 o clock.
We hope to see you there, thanks, from the key stage 1 team x x x
KS1 Community Crew Assembly
Big well done to our Crew Champions, we had so much to say about our superstars this week! We had some super steward shoutouts too, thank you for always helping to keep our school clean, tidy and organised.
This week in year 2 we have had a few more children getting those sparkly pencils for beautiful craftsmanship and quality in their work, presentation and handwriting.
Shoutout for those children engaging beautifully with Numbots and TTRockstars, we can really see the hard work paying off. KS1 also had some reading certificates to celebrate too, with lots of children working their way quickly through reading lots of different things. Don’t forget, it doesn’t have to be a school book to be recorded in our reading diaries!!
Finally, a big well done to Crew Shaw who won our attendance competition this week with a whopping 99%! It is so great to see the children so excited for this award, I wonder if we can get 100% next week….
