Beautiful Work This Week

Ready, Steady, Grow!

In the spring of 2023, the KS1 pupils from primary schools across the XP Trust undertook a cross-curricular learning Expedition called ‘Ready Steady Grow’, where they looked to answer the guiding question…

‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’

The Expedition culminated in this beautiful collaborative book – filled with recipes, healthy eating advice and the story behind the students’ learning!

‘What will I do to be a champion in my community?’ Pledges at Norton Infants!

Crew Jackson – more beautiful writing

15th June 2023Jillian Jackson

Since completing SATs, I have been so proud of each and everyone of the children for the wonderful writing they have produced. They have worked so hard to show their ability to; write for purpose; select appropriate features and vocabulary; be creative; use the full range of Key Stage 2 grammatical features and punctuation; and really engage the reader in their written work.

I am bursting with pride and just have to show off more of their beautiful work this week!

Science Club – Solar Ovens

15th June 2023Rebecca Barnett

This week in science club we made our very own solar ovens. We discussed how light will be reflected off the tin foil and into the oven and be absorbed by the black paper. Once we made them, we placed them in the sun to melt our s’mores. But, the best part was eating them!
