Some great work on our beautiful work display. Well done everyone 🙂


Crew Welburn were so excited to see a new addition to our role play today – a supermarket! The children couldn’t wait to get into their choosing time to go and explore and it was definitely the busiest areas of the classroom today! The children showed how well they could share resources, take turns and develop their own story lines in their role play. Some of the children even showed off their writing skills by independently writing a list of items that they wanted to buy from the shop – amazing work Crew Welburn!







The children also used our healthy vegetables to explore different prints in the workshop, and made real Mr Potato Heads out of vegetables while explain what each part represented! Such a fun day for us all!














As we continue through our History case study, we started to think about significant events and how these have impacted today’s society.
We started with a silent conversation where children had to think about what the image showed and when in history it took place.





Once we had finished discussing the events and when we thought they happened. It was time to match the image with the statement before putting them in chronological order. Lovely to see that some children already had some prior knowledge of these events such as Titanic, the Queen’s coronation.





Some great writing in MI 🙂 Such positive attitudes shown throughout this piece of writing. I look forward to reading your final versions after you have edited and redrafted.





Today we looked at and unpicked our last arithmetic paper. After some modelling, we used our purple pen to have another go at the questions we got incorrectly. Some great partner work shown 🙂 MI you really are showing great improvements in arithmetic, keep it up!



In our writing lesson today we generated a range of adjectives to describe the trees, grass and birds in our picture. We got to feel the grass, bark and twigs and listen to birds tweeting.




Happy Friday!
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust this week!

You will have heard in the news that the NEU have voted to undertake strike action over the coming weeks. This means that many teachers across the country will be on strike over four days in February and March (please see the dates below).
At this early stage it is not clear what impact this will have on our school, or schools across the Trust. I do, however, urge families to have a ‘Plan B’ in place for childcare on the dates listed below, in case of a full closure.
I will of course, keep you informed as much as I can over the coming days as details emerge.
Intended strike days:
February 1st
February 28th
March 15th
March 16th
It was challenge crew yesterday morning and it was too funny not to share. The children worked in pairs to take it in turns to give instructions on how to draw something. They soon realised that they had to have good communication skills and be really clear and specific with their instructions to make sure their partner knew what to draw. It was such a great activity which we call enjoyed. We were all laughing our heads off! Here are the results… some are better than others!! Have a great extended weekend.
