As part of Anti Bullying Week, on Tuesday 12th November we will be celebrating Odd Socks Day. This is to show it’s okay to be different to and to raise the awareness of bullying! So dig out your favourite pairs as we can’t wait to see your odd socks!
We have been made aware that some parents can’t access the Google form to book a place at this family learning event. Please book your place by emailing Mr Taylor through the LKS2 email address: [email protected] . Our Digital Leaders have prepared some fun activities for you to do with your children.
We are hosting a family learning session on Thursday 2:30 – 3:30 with a focus on e-Safety and technology!
Our Digital Leaders will lead this event with Mr Taylor and they are excited to welcome you to join their planned activities.
You will need to book yourself and your child a place to attend this family learning session as we sadly don’t have enough places for everyone to join. However, if we need to, we will run a second event.
If you manage to book a place before we close it, you automatically have a place. You won’t get any further confirmation!
You will arrive at the hall for 2:30 and your children will meet you there.
Please book your places:
Over the last few weeks before half term the children have been painting poppies to decorate the school fences. They used collage work to decorate poppies to take home. Lovely work from everyone!
Today, Class 7 have learned about Hinduism during our second faith day of the year. We watched some traditional stories, learned about the long history of Hinduism and then created our own Rangoli patterns We loved it!
Class 8 have learnt a lot about Hinduism today. They read the story Rama and Sita and then looked at rangoli patterns. Most Hindu households have rangoli patterns at the entrance to their home as they are thought to bring good luck and prosperity to their families. Some children used paints, others used pegs and boards, whilst others coloured in rangoli patterns. Well done class 8 for some great listening and learning today. I will be checking on Monday that you have remembered anything about the religion Hinduism?
have a lovely weekend x
Crew Knowles really enjoyed learning about Hinduism as part of our faith day today. We looked at some of the definitions of key vocabulary related to Hinduism such as karma, dharma and reincarnation. We then researched some of the different Hindu gods and goddesses which was really interesting!
This October half term, 9 members of staff from across XP Trust travelled to San Diego to work with the best project based learning teacher in the world – Jeff Robin. Each teacher brought with them a personally crafted exemplar – a tangible product of their passion and planning – to refine and inspire transformative future Expeditions.
Inspired by Jeff’s groundbreaking work at High Tech High, the school that inspired XP, they sought to elevate their teaching through creativity, activism, and lasting legacy. Away from the familiar, they embraced new ideas in a setting that ignited their imagination…
Stay tuned for the full length documentary and story of Jeff Tech High…
