Class Five have blown us away with their critique and resilience this morning. We watched Austin’s butterfly before critiquing our own work and having a go at our second draft – the improvements are amazing!
Amazing Aerial Photography
Yesterday we were very lucky to be visited by Geoff and his drone. He talked to the children about aerial photography and different ways we can take photos. We then went outside and watched Geoff fly his drone 120 meters up in the air! He took some amazing photos of school and the surrounding areas.
Amazing models
Just look at these amazing models that children in class 6 have been busy making over the Easter holidays. You have blown us away with your creativity. Well done!
We’re Looking for Apprentice Learning Coaches at XP Trust
We are looking for great people who want to become even better. We have a passion for staff leading their own learning to become the best versions of themselves – we see this role as the first step to become a leader within our Trust.
Please keep this date in your diary…
Thursday 21st April (Year 2 -9.00-9.30)
Friday 22nd April (Year 1 – 9.00 – 9.30)
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!
Collaborative Planning
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.
