We have started thinking about our new expedition as part of our hook week. We solved the clues to find out that our ‘person’ we are going to be learning about first is … Paddington Bear! We read a great story called Paddington’s Easter Egg Hunt. We then spent time this afternoon sketching Paddington and using watercolour paints to complete our art work! We can’t wait to share our finished pieces!
Unfortunately, we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our phone lines and internet connection. This means we will not be able to answer the phones or pick up any voicemails so if we could ask that you report any absences via email on [email protected] or message Mrs Bradshaw on Class Dojo. Please do not inform teachers directly as these may not be picked up.
Our technicians are working hard to resolve this issue and we are hopeful a solution can be reached tomorrow. We will keep you updated.
Thank you.
The children have loved watching our tiny caterpillars grow and change over the past few weeks. Today we got to watch, as the butterflies took flight for the very first time. It was a magical moment…
Following our visit from Mrs Wilson, the dietician last week, we have decided to try a new food each Friday. This week some of the children have tried houmous for the very first time. It went down a treat…
I wonder what will be next on our menu?
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust from this week. To read about other stories from across the XP Trust, visit xptrust.org.

Class Five are channeling their inner rock star and pop star this morning!
We spent time celebrating World Maths Day in our key stage one community meeting this morning. We thought about when we use maths outside of school, why it is important and we even talked about some famous mathematicians!
We finished our community meeting with some maths puzzles. I was very impressed how people were grappling to solve the problems!
Super work Key Stage One

In our final case study we have been considering the question ‘how does my body grow and change?’ The children enjoyed looking back at photos from when they were babies and we played a game of baby guess who.
We have been reading ‘The Growing Story’ by Ruth Krauss that celebrates those little changes that tell us we’re growing up! The children have thought of some great ways that we can keep our bodies strong and healthy…
EXERCISE
The children enjoy keeping fit in our P.E sessions each week. We have started doing a daily mile in the morning before our phonic sessions. It makes us feel good walking in the sunshine and we are ready to learn!
DRINK WATER
EAT HEALTHY FOODS
We were lucky to have an expert visitor in school, Mrs Wilson, a dietician from Doncaster Hospital. The children enjoyed listening to her knowledge and insight and they thoroughly enjoyed sorting the foods into the different categories.
We love growing and learning together in Class 1. It has been a great end to an awesome expedition! We are looking forward to celebrating with our families tomorrow at our celebration of learning event 🙂
We have had an amazing afternoon sharing our learning with our parents and presenting our final product. We have tried different fruit and vegetables, learnt lots of facts about plants, tasted beetroot smoothie and a Spinach cake.
