The lovely Year 5 & 6 children have been learning all about Children in Need this week and why the cause is so important. They wanted to raise more awareness, so even more children could be supported. We hope you like their version of ‘I’ll Stand by You’ as we stand with everyone who needs the support!
Check out these recent beautiful curations at Green Top School from our Comms Crew!
We asked our students at Plover what Crew looks like and what it means to be Crew – this was their response.
On Friday 15 November Koen Timmers, the world renowned climate educator, visited XP Doncaster to present our students with a plaque entitled, ‘Climate Action Heroes’ in recognition of the work done by students across our Trust in pursuit of our curriculum seam of ‘Protecting Our Planet.’
The recognition is also for being part of the Climate Action Project which allows us to connect with students and learners from across the globe to find practical and impactful solutions to the climate emergency.
Last term, students met a few of the Doncaster Rovers first team players and were able to have photos and get autographs from the players. Students asked questions about the life of a professional athlete and the journey that the players have been on playing for different clubs. It was great to hear the players speak about our character traits and how these character traits link to sport.
In the same week, students visited Hill House school to listen to Olympic gold medal GB hockey player Sam Quek. Her experience as an athlete and the ups and downs she has faced really helped our students to understand that if you want something in life you have to work hard for it! Students were able to have a photo and ask questions to Sam at the end – they even held her gold medal.

Year 11s Hard at Work Annotating Poetry Anthologies @ XP East
This week, we have done arithmetic slightly different than usual. Using the orienteering markers that were installed over the summer holidays we used these to help us develop our BODMAS skills. It was nice to see everyone working together and doing arithmetic in a fun and active way. Well done Y6!
Class 8 have loved their PE session this week with Coach Callum. They have practised following instructions, played games, been passing the ball to each other and stopping it too. Great work guys!
Thank you to all of those who attended the E-Safety drop-in session this evening. Also a big thank you to the Digital Leaders who stayed behind to help facilitate the session!
REMINDER that Children In Need is tomorrow.
Children are able to come to school wearing PJ’s, non-uniform, super hero costumes, anything yellow and spotty.
Children do not need a contribution. However, they can bring in 50p for a bun.
Children in Need Coffee Morning will be in the hall 8:30 – 9:30am in the school hall!
If you would like to make any additional contributions to Children In Need – Please use the QR code above.
Today, year 2 had their first orienteering lesson and I think it’s safe to say that they loved it.
They were using the maps, working together and did so much exercise running between the locations.
On top of this, key stage 1 have started their daily mile at playtimes this week. They are loving the exercise and being outside in this lovely Autumn weather.
Great job guys!
Just so everyone is aware, the children for both classes will have an extra PE session this Friday, so can children bring their PE kits for our extra session 🙂
This morning, we have been busy researching our topics in preparation for our scientific lecture all about space. Over the next few weeks, we will be using all our information to create scripts and slides ready to deliver to our audience. We can’t wait to show you what we have learnt! #OgdenTrust
