For our final BTEC sport lesson in C26 for this year we tried our hand at some complex balances and all the students got stuck in and really impressed. We also having been trying to be more mindful during times of stress so a yoga session really helped we the concentration needed to complete all of out work. Well done everyone have a great Christmas and New Year!! Mr Stables

Kind regards, XP East Office
We can not believe that we have completed our first term here at XP East, in one way it feels like we were only boarding the bus for Aberdovey yesterday, but then in another way we feel so settled and like we have been here forever.
Between us as a crew we have collected 194 praise points and this week we have been reviewing our HoWL’s. After looking at our data we have made pledges for the spring term. Some examples are below:
I pledge to improve my Get Smart HoWL in Maths from a 3.0 to a 3.5 by the end of next term. I will do this by putting my hand up and asking more questions. This will help improve my AP by the end of next term- Lola Endicott
I pledge to improve my Work Hard in P.E from a 2.5 to a 3 by remembering my kit every week. I will do this by the end of next term – Elsie Wright
I pledge to improve my attendance to 97% by the end of next term – Arlo Hague
As a crew leader I have also made a pledge to visit my crew in their sessions more and look at their beautiful work- I’m sure they will remind me of this.
It’s safe to say we have crammed lots into this term, Aberdovey, the coal mining museum, Bletchley park and Billy Elliott performances just to name a few! We can not wait to share our POL with you in the new year.
Here are some of the things our crew have said are highlights/favourite moments from this term and some photos of what we have been up to.
Nicole: My highlight of this first term was learning about Billy Elliot and reading in the character/pretending to be them with Miss Buckely. Also exploding the quotes and phrases to learn more about the characters.
Kiera- My highlight from our first term was when a student in HUMS asked Mr tucker a bunch of questions about coal and it got to a point where he had to walk out of class because he found it so irritating but funny at the same time.
Lucas-My highlight was in Aberdovey when i got to know my roomies and neighbours properly whilst spending cherishable time with them. Im pretty sure everyone was happy with the people they were put in a room with.
Have a wonderful and restful break, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Crew White.
Yesterday, Crew Rashford and Crew Marx created some Christmas decorations! We had a lovely morning getting in the festive spirit!
Some of them fetched their creations home and others we put up on the school tree!
Crew Obama raised over £200 on Monday for ‘Save the Children’. Thank you so much to everyone who donated. We will be combining our funds with those collected for Christmas Jumper Day by Crew Kahlo last week. We had a sale of hot sausage rolls and hot chocolates with squirty cream and marshmallows. We are so grateful to everyone who came to buy something; the queue went all the way to the stairs! We’re sorry that we had to turn some of you away. We’ve had great feedback on the sausage rolls and the hot chocolates, and are hoping to do this again in the future. It was great to see so many people wearing their pyjamas, especially those with a Christmas theme. Merry Christmas to everyone from Crew Obama!
