¡BUEN TRABAJO!, Crew Turing!

Mollie & Callum did Crew Turing proud at tonight’s Madrid Fieldwork Presentation of Learning. It was AWESOME to hear about what they had been up to – although we’re not sure we’d have managed as many rides as they did at the Warner Bros Studios!

Fantastic work, guys. You’re already making us proud!

Due to the rising temperature. The Presentation of Learning for Year 7 will be changed to Wednesday the 20th of July.

Year 7 XP East students would like to invite you to their Presentation of Learning. This presentation is the final one for year 7 until their next one in year 8! It is a great opportunity to see all the learning your child has done during their expedition “What a Wonderful World”. This will start at 4pm and last until approximately 5pm. We look forward to seeing you there.

Crew Obama litter pick 15/07/22

“This morning Crew Obama took part in litter picking. We went round the entire school and collected rubbish. People split up into different groups and picked litter separately. We collected loads of litter and almost filled up two bags of litter. Even though we collected loads of litter it would be better if there was no rubbish at all.We are stewards of this school and we shouldn’t be disrespecting the school ground that we use everyday and we should take care of it.” A member of Crew Obama.

Lost property

Women’s European Football Fieldwork

Last night a selection of students from XP and XP East attended the Group D match up between tournament favourites France and Belgium. The students had a brilliant evening at Rotherham’s New York Stadium accompanied by the PE team. The game was a exciting one played at a fast pace where underdogs Belgium pushed France all the way seeing out a 2-1 victory, not helped by captain Wendie Renard who missed a penalty and the ensuing open goal after VAR gave France a penalty for a handball in the box. Good luck to both teams for the rest of the tournament but hopefully football is coming home with the lionesses. Come on England.  

XP Outdoors – Exploring and Gardening

On Wednesday XP Outdoors explored the garden and maintained our bedding plants.

Here are a few pics…

At XP we believe that it is important for staff and students to spend more time outdoors, especially within crews. A fire circle allows crews to get outside and interact in a circle (with or without the fire lit). Getting outdoors has lots of proven health benefits, especially with mental health. There is evidence linked to sitting around an open fire reducing blood pressure and heart rate making it a relaxing environment, allowing people to be more receptive to others and share.

So we looked at our current fire pit set up and looked at ways to improve and revamp it. The plans were drawn by our crew and I have to say they came up with some amazing ideas, I can not wait to share these with our XP Outdoors Leads.

Look out for more exciting outdoor experiences!

Polite Reminder

We wanted to remind everyone that we operate a nut free school across both XP and XP East. We have students from both schools that have severe nut allergies. Please ensure your child remembers that products containing nuts cannot be eaten anywhere on the school site. Packed lunches/ snacks should be nut free within school and when on fieldwork. As always, thank you for your support.
