Just a reminder that tomorrow and next Friday, children will need to bring shorts and T-shirt in addition to their normal swimming stuff. The shorts and T-shirt will be getting wet so it’s essential they have dry clothes.
I would suggest wearing the shorts and T-shirt over their swimming costumes and bringing their Pe kit in their bags to change into after swimming.
Thank you
Today in our expedition lesson, we discussed what a flood is and explained why floods happen. A flood is a type of extreme weather. Flooding happens when there is heavy rainfall in a short amount of time. We identified the human and physical factors that cause floods such as deforestation, using concrete to build and steep slopes. We created a poster that informed us on what a flood is and the different causes of flooding. 🌧 💧
Today, Crew Shields have been practicing reading their poems aloud in preparation for them being recorded on a Monday. We have each other critique and explained the importance of speaking in a clear voice, at a reasonable pace and adding some expression in. We’ll have more time to practice to each other and in front of the class so when Monday comes, we’ll be ready to smash it.
I don’t usually go out at dinner breaks but there was a lovely atmosphere on the mugga today; all the children were throughly enjoying getting their minds or bodies active.
In Lesson 2, we learnt about the various events that are held in churches and we built background knowledge around some of these. We used the internet to research and made an anchor chart to present back to the rest of the class.

Crew Mc has found a passion for RE, (also know as Religion education) as we all enjoy it, especially today. Ethan even joked that RE stood for ‘Really Exciting’ 😃. First off, we started with an entry ticket, trying to remember what we watched about a 11 year old boy named Nathan. Next, we listened to some hymns they sing while worshiping. Max and Brooklyn sang along with Miss and some of us recognised the song.
Then Miss came round with various types of bread: the bread represented Jesus’s flesh/body. The instructions were to thank someone in your life every time you ate a piece of bread – we filled out a HoWL card for these special people we appreciate in our lives. Miss had a smile on her face when she had received one on her desk💕
While eating, we watched a couple videos about ‘The Last Supper’ where Jesus said about how the wine represented blood and the bread represented his body.You might already know this but do you know what a holy communion is? A holy communion a ritual commemoration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. We finished with a de-brief to note down all our new learning to ensure it sticks!

The children really enjoyed watching the show. M&M Productions were amazing!

XP Doncaster (XP School and XP East) continues to be one of the most oversubscribed schools, not only in Doncaster but across South Yorkshire and beyond. Despite this, it is important that we share our stories and engage with potential future students and their families. We are a mainstream school who provides outstanding experiences for our students and want to share this proudly with our local community.
What is the Student Showcase?
The Student Showcase is essentially a Year 6 Open Evening where prospective Year 6 students and their families are invited into school to find out more about the amazing work we do each and every day. Our schools sell themselves, but if students and families don’t hear our stories they will not fully understand what makes us stand out from the crowd.
This event is also open to our Year 5 students who maybe thinking of choosing XP as their secondary school.
On Thursday 6th July we will be holding a non-uniform day to support our Summer Fayre. We ask that the children bring in a chocolate donation or a bottle (which will go on our infamous bottle stall – this can range from bubble bath, water, fruit juices or a bottle of fizz) rather than the usual fee.
Thank you for your continued support.
