In music this half term we are learning the rhythm of Salsa music! We are practising using dance moves to understand the rhythm and body percussion to get the beat. Well done to 3SG for getting stuck in and working on their moves!!
We have been working in pairs to write a fun and creative informal text about the skeletal system. Using Models of Excellence (that include lots of humor and imagination), pupils transformed a basic scientific topic into an engaging, lighthearted text, making learning both entertaining and informative. This will be presented to reception children at the end of the term!
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.

Today, Year 4 have been flexing their mathematical muscles by demonstarting their recent proficiency towards grid method multipliation! These messy multiplications showed the children’s grasp and they fully enjoyed themselves. Whether this enjoyment came from the maths or writing on the tables, remains to be seen!

In hook week, the children drew pencil sketches of their eyes, which were fantastic. However, we weren’t done. We knew we could improve! Multiple discussions, reflections, suggestions and after a great deal of patience and perseverance, the children completed another draft (in some cases another 2 drafts). The finished products are incredible and just shows the power of this process.
In Year 4’s English Cycle, we shall be writing explanation texts all about the human body for our expedition, ‘What Makes Us Human?’. These explanatory pieces of writing shall be aimed towards the infant school reception children and such, our texts need a friendly narrator! That’s where these characters come in… Today, we have been creating our explanation text narrators who are going to tell the infant children all about the human body and it must be said, they do look fantastic so far. I’m sure they can’t wait to explain all about science to the reception children!
