Last week, our fieldwork took us on an exciting walk from school into Askern. First stop was to look at how the land where Askern Main Colliery was situated is now being used, then onto Askern Lake to look and the mining wheel monument and old coal carts and finally a picnic and play in Campsall Park. The weather was extremely kind to us and we had a fabulous day!
This week Year 3 were lucky enough to begin our expedition with a bang! We visited Magna Science Centre and learnt all about sound in an amazing workshop. We learnt about fire tornados, and all the elements including earth, air, fire and water.
WOW what a wonderful start to our new expedition. We had a wonderful time exploring the elements and learning all about how sound travels. The children got the chance to partake in lots of experiments and even made their own instruments!
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust from this week. To read about other stories from across the XP Trust, visit xptrust.org.

Digging into our New Expedition @ Norton Juniors
This week has seen Yr 5 embark on our new and exciting expedition ‘At The Coalface’. Check out our miners who really captured mining both past and present (we even had a few canaries).
After looking at the structure of a mining head, children were set the challenge of building one using wooden skewers, cocktails sticks and modelling clay. The outcomes were amazing and extremely well designed.
Over the past few weeks, year 5 have worked diligently to complete their pencil sketches of iconic figures who have helped change the world. The children learned skills to use tone to create light and dark and how to proportions facial features accurately. 5HJ selected Nelson Mandela, Michelle Obama and Millicent Fawcett and the completed artwork is phenomenal.

Unfortunately, we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our phone lines and internet connection. This means we will not be able to answer the phones or pick up any voicemails so if we could ask that you report any absences via email on [email protected] or message Mrs Bradshaw on Class Dojo. Please do not inform teachers directly as these may not be picked up.
Our technicians are working hard to resolve this issue and we are hopeful a solution can be reached tomorrow. We will keep you updated.
Thank you
