We’ve been busy exploring measures in Class 3, firstly comparing, ordering and measuring heights and lengths. Our challenge was to find two people the same height.
We then we moved on to weighing and enjoyed lots of practical maths lessons to get us ready for some challenging problem solving!
It was lovely to wander around our school this morning and see all of the fantastic things happening in our crew sessions – we had children reflecting on their howls, sharing stories and talking about their feelings using our zones of regulation. What a way to start the day!

This morning in class five we have begun our final piece of writing for our Geography case study. We have thought about everything we have learned so far and began to put together some fantastic sentences, we then critiqued them to make them even better.
I can’t wait to read the final pieces!

This week we have celebrated BETTER WORLD DAY and we discussed what we can do to make a difference and create a happy and safe world for everybody around us. In our expedition we worked on setting descriptions and worked together to make a word bank. We had a great time when learning how to measure objects using a ruler and a metre stick.
Happy Friday – here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust this week!

In Class Five we went on some fieldwork this week to Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery to help us answer our guiding question, Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong?
Back in school we wrote about our experiences handling artefacts, taking part in a workshop and exploring the museum. We did a great job confidently sharing our work with children in other classes.
We have had an absolutely fantastic day exploring the history of Doncaster. The children took part in a workshop studying artwork, handling artefacts and asking expert questions.
The children took lots away to help them with their expedition – Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong?
They all behaved impeccably. They were kind and considerate to other members of the public – several people commented on how well they conducted themselves. All of the grown ups were very proud to enjoy the day with your children.
I’ve put together a video of photographs from our day – I hope you enjoy them.
