KS1 Community Crew Meeting

3rd May 2024Samantha Good

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!

MND awareness day 2024

30th April 2024Chris Mumby

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.

Year 5 Egyptian Day!

26th April 2024Sarah Walton

Year 5 had an awesome day today, starting with an extremely fun and informative workshop. The children were engaged and completely immersed in their learning. After lunch followed some Egyptian dancing and games, along with making healthy fruit kebabs. The Year 5 team were delighted to also receive an email from the ladies who delivered the workshop. This was full of praise for our children and school, bringing a lovely end to a perfect day! Well done Crew Year 5!!!

KS1 visit to the Pentecostal Church

26th April 2024Jayne Rodgers

We have spent a very exciting morning visiting the Pentecostal Church where we were treated to a live reading from a real life Cbeebies television star of one of her books. We sang songs and played games and generally had a wonderful time. The children behaved beautifully both on the walk to and from the Church and while listening to the story and we are all very, very proud of you.

A huge thanks to Pastor Kevin for inviting us.
