The children in KS1 thoroughly enjoyed all the activities within their Sports Day. Lots of competitiveness, fun and sportsmanship. We encouraged our team on even when they found certain activities tricky, great team work and resilience throughout! What a lovely afternoon we had!
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust from this week. To read about other stories from across the XP Trust, visit xptrust.org.

As part of Case Study Two KS1 experienced some astronaut training which included testing their reactions, trying space food and climbing the ropes!
Today we consolidated our learning of position and direction with the help of Tiny the Tortoise. We used the language we have learnt to move tiny safely across our 4×4 grid. Great work CrewRobson!

A great morning at LKS2 sports day 🙂 We all loved it!
This week in expedition we have been scientists and conducted an experiment all about how craters are formed.
To start we wrote a method and equipment list. Then we made a prediction about what we thought might happen. Finally is was time to conduct our experiment.
We then used our results to produce a line graph.
For our next plot point we drew and labelled what we thought Bob the astronaut would have in his packed lunch.
There were lots of food guesses!
What a blast Sports Day was today! All groups worked extremely hard and it was great to see their sportsmanship.
