Over the last few days, the children in Crew Mumby have worked very hard to produce an outstanding piece of collaborative art. We talked about the importance of everyone playing their part to ensure it could be the best we could produce. I think our message will inspire us as the year goes on….
This morning, we buddied up with a Year 11 crew at XP school to ask them lots of questions about transitioning to secondary school!
We had great fun this morning with a crew building task that involved transporting water in drain pipes! It was definitely tricky but everyone worked together really well to achieve the end goal! There was lots of great strategising and communication!
For the first week in our new class we are trying to answer the guiding question, ‘ How does what I do impact others?’. We began to learn a song that showed us how some of our actions are hurting our world. We then thought of some changes we can make to help our world feel better. After lunch we went on a litter hunt in our playground, then counted and categorised what we had collected and made a bar chart to show our findings. We also realised that all the litter we collected can be recycled in some way. Why not ask your child to explain? I’m so proud of them all for the way they have settled into their new class and after the work they have produced today, I’m so excited for the year ahead.
See you tomorrow, Superstars!

Check out one of our students’ latest beautiful Expedition products, featuring powerful folk songs created by Year 7 at XP Gateshead, inspired by the rich mining heritage of North-East England. From performing mining-related songs to studying historical events and visiting Beamish Museum, our students have captured the essence of the miners’ stories.
