The children in classes 1 and 2 blew us away this morning with their performance. They sang so beautifully and our ‘Christmas Conga’ definitely got everyone in the Christmas spirit!
Our Kindness Elves left us a lovely message and a delicious treat that the children enjoyed after their performance. Well done to each and everyone of you, you were all stars xx
This week in class six we have been immersed in the Christmas spirit, even in our maths lessons. Today we have been helping Santa sorting presents into different groups depending on their shape.
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust over the last two weeks! To read about other stories from across the XP Trust, visit xptrust.org.
Crew Chadwick have enjoyed some outdoor crew activities this week. We used natural materials to create different animals. Take a look at some of our creations…
We had a lovely hot chocolate and Christmas story. We checked out with a high five or a hug 🙂
Huge thanks to Mrs Jackson for organising these activities! Crew Chadwick loved being outside 🙂 xx
As a reward for all their hard work last week, year two had a ovely morning in crew this morning drinking hot chocolate and marshmallows. We also listened to a Christmas story and had a quick dance to some Christmas songs before opening our letter from Zoink the elf!
We have had a lovely week in our crew reading books with our partners and looking at our beautiful work. We enjoyed our story time and a warm cup of hot chocolate during our outdoor crew session.
It was lovely to celebrate all of the hard work we have seen in Reception classes this week. Some great examples of working hard, being kind and getting smart. Well done Reception.
EYFS pupils from Green Top embarked on a cross-curricular expedition to explore the guiding question, “How do we show we care?” Through engaging activities and three case studies, they learned about kindness, empathy, and their place in the world. Immersion began with The Everywhere Bear, inspiring children to care for a crew teddy bear and fostering classroom environments of love and kindness. Hook week focused on settling children into school while emphasising kindness as a superpower.
Case studies included visits from the school nursing team, exploration of stories like Dogger and The Smartest Giant in Town to examine feelings and actions, and activities like kindness pledges, litter picking, and porridge-making tied to Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Celebrations like Bonfire Night and remembrance activities deepened understanding of history and empathy. In the final case study, children compared global settings through books like Elmer and participated in charitable actions, including creating a board for the DRI children’s ward with the message “You are special. You are loved. We care,” alongside donations from their sponsored walk.
Since our first XP school opened we have been welcoming visitors from all over the world. In the last three years the number of global delegates across our Trust has run into the thousands.
Whether sole visitors or part of a group; for example twice in the last year over 60 students from Hong Kong joined us in one day; what these guests bring to our schools is invaluable.
Our students love to take them on Ambassador tours and our staff deliver CPD that allows us to share what we do and how and why we do it.
Sometimes we are presented with thoughtful gifts, which form part of a display in our Comms area shop at XPE.
A boomerang from Australia, a lucky panda drawing from a school in Hong Kong, biscuits from the Netherlands, Chocolates from Switzerland, pens from Australia and beautiful textiles from India are just some of the special thank you’s we have received.
