Today, Crew McLoughlin had a fantastic expedition science lesson learning about the different parts of plants and their roles. The class explored real plants kindly shared from Miss Newman’s mum’s garden, which made the lesson extra special!
Students carefully examined roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, discussing how each part helps the plant grow and stay healthy. They loved getting hands-on with the plants and spotting the unique features of each one.

We are so proud of this young man. He has created two amazing paragraphs over the last couple of days. His effective word choice is particularly impressive. However, the reason I felt the need to blog this today was because of his expressive reading. We have been working on our fluency skills and today, Henry today demonstrated excellence in this.
Today I spotted Alissia’s beautiful home learning. She has clearly taken alot of time, to ensure that the work in which she produced was of high quality. At XP Trust, we call this Craftsmanship and Quality. Alissia is a fabulous role model to all. We are so proud of the girl you are Alissia.
Today 5 pupils from both year 3 and year 4 headed out for the afternoon to compete in a football tournament. They were one of 10 teams, unfortunately we didn’t place in the top 3 but I was so impressed with the children’s efforts, resilience and sportsmanship. Out of the 10 teams, which was over 100 children in total, one of our year 4 pupils was given a medal for his stand out sportsmanship. We were all so proud of him, what a great achievement! Here’s a few photos to showcase our fantastic afternoon!
Today in life skills they worked together to make pasta bolognese. They loved helping each other and then serving it to their table.
Last week in crew they did the cup challenge. They had an elastic band with string tied to it. The children had to pull on the string to stretch the elastic band and put it over a cup. They did this with each cup to make a pyramid.
