Thank you to all who attended our Celebration of Learning today! It was wonderful to see children sharing their expert knowledge with their adults. We looked at some Egyptian artefacts, made hieroglyphic bookmarks, produced some beautiful sketches, experimented with dress-up and we even had a sneak preview of our Tik Tok videos…all washed down with a healthy mocktail!
Year 2 POL
We’ve had a lovely presentation of learning this morning showcasing our learning from this term. The children spoke confidently when sharing their learning and did some beautiful singing.
Thank you to all of our parents and carers that came this morning to support us. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
The year 2 team!
Thursday 11th – Stay and Read
Just a reminder that on Thursday 11th July you can stay and read with your child between 8.30am – 9am or 2.30pm – 3pm. This is during the second transition day so will also give you time to meet your child’s new class teacher.
KS2 Sports Day
Well done to all our KS2 students who took part in our sports day on Tuesday. The weather managed to hold off and it was great to see some competitive races. Well done to everyone involved.

Beautiful Work This Week
XP Festival of Arts and Culture – Next Friday 12th July!
We first opened in September of 2014 in Doncaster and began to offer a creative and purposeful curriculum based on learning expeditions that connect subjects together so that learning is deepened and made relevant. Ten years on we have established a successful Trust that has shared this model with two more secondary schools, XP East in Doncaster and XP Gateshead, as well as five primary schools in the Doncaster area including: Carcroft Primary, Green Top Primary, Norton Infants, Norton Juniors and Plover Primary.
Our students create beautiful work that connects to the community and the world through the creation of high quality products that actively serve to make the world a better place.
To kick off our celebrations we are hosting our first community wide ‘Music and Arts Festival’ at XP East on the 12 July. This will become an annual event to bring together creatives from across the XP community, the wider community and the world to show why the Arts are so important to making our world more just, more beautiful and more humane and why they are at the heart of our curriculum.
We look forward to seeing you at the start of our festivities and hope you will join us as we continue to celebrate and share our stories throughout the rest of 2024 and 2025!!!
