In our next expedition we are looking in detail at Norton and our local area, including the history of our school and community. We would like to invite family members to an informal coffee morning where you can have a drink and a bun while sharing your experiences of how Norton and our school have changed over the years. If you have experience of living in a contrasting area too then it would be great for the children to be able to compare. Even better, if you have old photographs to share then we would love to see them.
Thank you

Across the XP Trust we love to share our beautiful work, celebrate our communities and share how we do what we do and why we do it.
We have captured, Our Vision, Our Ethos, Our Design Principles – Our Story, in a series of podcasts – The Culture Burger – and thought you might like to experience How We XP and hear about it first hand from our Crew here at XP.
You can now chow down on the entire first series here!
Class Five were working really hard yesterday gathering their ideas to write their own description of an underwater paradise based on our core text – The Tin Forest.
I can’t wait to read the finished pieces.

Our Nursery children just love being active outdoors.









In crew we have presented our writing, discussed our presentation rules and shared ‘wonders’ and ‘praises’.













We decided to move our lesson outside this morning. We shared our new text ‘The Tin Forest’ and acted out the key parts of the story before then sequencing and retelling the story.
Great job class five – you worked really hard.

It was so lovely to complete our daily mile in the sunshine today. It woke us up after lunch and helped us to feel alert and ready for maths.




Wow… this morning we were lucky enough to be able to watch the Year 2 children rehearsing for the Dance Competition that is being held at Campsmount Academy tomorrow. We were blown away by their talent. Good luck everyone!
