– Students will receive their mock exam results this week. – Please look out for information from Crew Leaders about upcoming SLCs.
Also – just a reminder that it is an expectation that students attend Learning Labs if they have been asked to do so. We will continue to monitor attendance and contact parents if necessary.
We’ve had a creative couple of weeks in our XP Outdoors sessions, focusing on bringing the outside, in.
This week, we created some fantastic festive pine cone decorations. Students have been tasked with gifting these as part of our Random Acts of Kindness challenge.
Last week, we started to create our indoor Peace Garden. Students got involved by creating Poppy-inspired bunting and having a go and making Origami Peace Doves – these were really tricky but students (and Miss Watson!) enjoyed grappling with these. We’ll share pictures once the final product has been displayed.
Activities for the rest of the term include making bird feeders, tidying up our garden and having another session round the fire pit.
Please make sure your child comes to school with a warm, waterproof coat, hat/gloves and appropriate footwear every Wednesday 🙂
All Parents have been sent a link to their registered email address that the school holds on the school system. The link is different for each school (XP and XP East). The form needs to be sent whether you want your child to have the FLU vaccine or not have the vaccine. If you have not received the email, please follow up with your child’s crew leader so they can forward you the correct link and ensure we have your correct email on our school system.
