XP East

Another amazing week of extra curricular in PE. Its been filled with some great wins and fantastic goals. Well done to the students who were awarded players of the match what a brilliant achievement.

Netball faced a tough opposition on Wednesday against Hayfield, unfortunately the year 8 team were unsuccessful but we gave them a good game. Well done to the year 7 team who won 2-1 it was a great team effort.

The year 7/8 girls football team played in a tournament against school across Doncaster, they had 3 fantastic wins. A few great goals and saves made in each of the games.

Finally to the KS4 badminton, hosted here at XP. The group of year 10 and 11 students played really well.

Building on last week’s XP visit, Year 8 students at XP East have the amazing opportunity to take part in a day of art workshops in Leeds for fieldwork linked to their ‘Being Human’ expedition. 

One of the basics of humanity is our ability to create, and the students will be involved in practical workshops from the Leeds Art Gallery and the Henry Moore Institute on Wednesday the 4th December.

This fieldwork will take place during the normal school day so it is important that your child arrives on time for the coach which will leave during crew.

All costs are covered by school, and please make sure your child brings a packed lunch as they will be eating in the gallery spaces. Free school meals will be provided for students who usually have them.
