¡Hola amigos!

Ever been to Spain or a Spanish speaking country? Would you like to learn some Spanish? Well, Year 8 at XP and XP East have created some beautiful work to help you out!
Students have been learning to describe their morning routine, and how to explain when or where they do something in our expedition “La rutina”. They also recorded their work in Spanish and English, to help you follow the words through sound. Take a look at their very first product!
Inspired? Then use the slides to create your own storyboard, it would be amazing for Year 8 to enjoy and critique your work too!

This week, 6CC have edited their action sequences, explored how to use speech punctuation and undertaken some fantastic peer mentoring in Maths (dealing with our first week of fractions).

On Wednesday, our Crew enjoyed reuniting two of our most recent antagonists via a text message conversation. The children turned a basic text conversation into a dialogue full of insults and effective speech punctuation. Take a look at a few of their pieces below!

This week, 6CC have been exploring what makes an effective action sequence. Following two analysis lessons, our crew have produced some brilliant piece of writing about Indiana and the Golden Idol. Check out a few of their brilliant efforts below!

Recently, year 6 have been recapping the four operations and the strategies we must use to solve calculations (test your child on them at home!). Today, the students became the teachers as fifteen pupils were chosen to mentor their peers by critiquing their use of strategies and guiding their partner through the questions when they became stuck. It was really pleasing to see the kind and empathetic manner in which the children engaged with each other, adjusting to the pace of the learner.

Well done, Crew! Exceptional work! 🙂
