Lost Property in KS1
Good morning everyone.
Please would you check your child’s belongings. One of the children in Miss Rodgers’ class has lost his PE bag containing kit and trainers. It is a black drawstring bag with a green reflective stripe. We think perhaps someone may have taken it home by accident. In addition to this we do collect a number of un-named items on a weekly basis that are not claimed. If you notice that your child has missing items, please ask their class teacher ASAP and we will arrange for you to check through our lost property box. All unclaimed items will be sent to a recycling centre at the end of each term.
Thank you and have a great weekend

Beautiful Work This Week
How do we show we care? @ Green Top
EYFS pupils from Green Top embarked on a cross-curricular expedition to explore the guiding question, “How do we show we care?” Through engaging activities and three case studies, they learned about kindness, empathy, and their place in the world. Immersion began with The Everywhere Bear, inspiring children to care for a crew teddy bear and fostering classroom environments of love and kindness. Hook week focused on settling children into school while emphasising kindness as a superpower.
Case studies included visits from the school nursing team, exploration of stories like Dogger and The Smartest Giant in Town to examine feelings and actions, and activities like kindness pledges, litter picking, and porridge-making tied to Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Celebrations like Bonfire Night and remembrance activities deepened understanding of history and empathy. In the final case study, children compared global settings through books like Elmer and participated in charitable actions, including creating a board for the DRI children’s ward with the message “You are special. You are loved. We care,” alongside donations from their sponsored walk.
Gifts from our Visitors!
Since our first XP school opened we have been welcoming visitors from all over the world. In the last three years the number of global delegates across our Trust has run into the thousands.
Whether sole visitors or part of a group; for example twice in the last year over 60 students from Hong Kong joined us in one day; what these guests bring to our schools is invaluable.
Our students love to take them on Ambassador tours and our staff deliver CPD that allows us to share what we do and how and why we do it.
Sometimes we are presented with thoughtful gifts, which form part of a display in our Comms area shop at XPE.
A boomerang from Australia, a lucky panda drawing from a school in Hong Kong, biscuits from the Netherlands, Chocolates from Switzerland, pens from Australia and beautiful textiles from India are just some of the special thank you’s we have received.
Thursday Night Live!

A huge well done to our year 1 and 2 superstars this week. We have celebrated stewards, HOWL point winners, numbots and TT rockstars winners, as well as Crew Stone being our attendance champions again this week!
Well done to all of our children who received reading certificates this week too, it was great to see so many children achieving their 30 reads at home…please keep going with this…it really does make a difference!
I also need to mention our crew champions this week who deserved their awards so much. I love hearing all about the fantastic things you have been up to every week.
Thanks so much to all of the parents too for coming, it was lovely to see you in school and get to know you!
