Making Our Final Product

16th March 2022Rebecca Kendrew-Jones

This afternoon was very exciting in nursery! We had Mr Doyle, a design and technology teacher at XP school, come to visit with three Year 10 students, Jake, Oliver and Tom. They worked together to create our final product for our current expedition. The children loved watching them create a mud kitchen from old wooden pallets and enjoyed learning about the different tools and machinery – even when it became quite noisy! A huge shout out to Jake, Oliver and Tom for demonstrating some brilliant DIY skills and being wonderful role models to our children.

We can’t wait to show you the finished product properly at our Celebration of Learning on Wednesday 30th March!

Reminder: Family Learning and Celebration of Learning

16th March 2022Rebecca Kendrew-Jones

Wednesday 23rd March at 2pm will be our family learning event. Parents are invited to join their child in the school hall where Pastor Kevin from Thorne Pentecostal Church will be leading a short assembly on the story of Creation and how God made the world, linking to our current expedition of ‘In a world of possibilities will you make?‘ We will then be completing some short craft activities before finishing by 2.45pm.

Wednesday 30th March will be our Celebration of Learning starting at 2.15pm. This will be an opportunity for us to share some videos with you that show the children’s expeditionary learning in nursery so far. We hope we’ll be able to share some drinks and biscuits together afterwards too!

Please arrive at the Nursery entrance 10-15 minutes before the event start time. If you are unable to attend the children will still enjoy taking part with a member of the nursery staff team. If your child does not usually attend on a Wednesday afternoon you are very welcome to come along and join us!

Recording at XP!

16th March 2022Amy Faulding

What a day we’ve had visiting XP today to record our song for our product.

So so beyond proud of how you’ve all pushed yourselves out of your comfort zone to do this. To perform and sing in front of others is such a brave thing to do and look at you all today. Stood in a recording studio, ready to perform and record our own song, written by YOU!!

We can’t wait for you all to hear our song “Dear World” that we’ve created alongside other primary schools from the XP trust. It’s going to be amazing!!

Won’t be long now until the big reveal!

Clay sea sculptures

Year 2 today had a go at using and applying their skills to add detail to these clay sculptures as part of their art expeditionary learning. They were making patterns and adding a variety of textures to the sea creature shapes.

They were so engaged and loved being artists today…well done class 8!
