Beautiful Work This Week
Ready, Steady, Grow!
In the spring of 2023, the KS1 pupils from primary schools across the XP Trust undertook a cross-curricular learning Expedition called ‘Ready Steady Grow’, where they looked to answer the guiding question…
‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’
The Expedition culminated in this beautiful collaborative book – filled with recipes, healthy eating advice and the story behind the students’ learning!
‘What will I do to be a champion in my community?’ Pledges at Norton Infants!
