Year 3 are taking their very first NJS sports day extremely seriously and what fun we’ve had practicing a range of track and field events this week from sprinting to hurdles and throwing. Some phenomenally talented children have come to light but what really stood out more, was the way the children supported and congratulated each other! We really can’t wait until we can compete in front of our family members!
That’s right, 4GC were breaking all the healthy eating rules (a ‘must’ for our Expedition) on Monday by critiquing some popular sweet treats. My only wonder is why my own personal favouirte (wine gums) finished almost bottom of the pile in the ratings 🙁 Which of our selection would be your guilty pleasure?
6CC began the in a creative manner, designing their own shapes to then create a repeating pattern or ‘tessellation’, inspired by the work of M. Escher – a famous dutch artist and mathematician. Over the course of the next four days, our crew will be completing their design and then combining them to create a giant tessellation consisting of uniquely different patterns!
Last week, 3HJ enjoyed spending the afternoon testing a range of different kind of sweets as part of our market research to decide which sweets were popular and which weren’t a hit. Haribo Tangfastics seems to get the seal of approval based on qualities such as appearance, taste and texture. Surprisingly, my favourite – jelly babies – came out quite low!
6Cc enjoyed developing their batting skills in this week’s PE lesson. Our crew focused on mastering the basics of batting (hand and foot positioning) before learning about two particular shot types: a froward drive and a square drive. The activities were made all the more pleasant by the glorious summer weather; we finished off with two separate games of quick cricket, allowing them to put their batting skills to the test in a game situation. Top notch! 👌🏼
This week 5EG have been making the most of the beautiful weather by taking most of our lessons outside! Luckily we have plenty of shady spaces available, and the children could enjoy being outside.
Happy Friday – here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust this week!

Yesterday we had a blast in 3LG as we spent the afternoon testing a range of different sweets. As we go into case study 3, where we will be making our very own sweets, it would have been rude to not do any product testing. We tried everything from flying saucers to strawberry laces and marshmallows to Haribos, discussing what we liked about their appearance taste and texture.
Alas, I present to you the winning rounder’s team from last week’s festival at CTC. Special mention is also reserved for the other Norton representatives who finished a credible joint third. Once again, the pupils attitudes were fantastic. Very well done…
The time is almost upon us when Year 4 shall be testing their times tables knowledge. In order to ensure we are fully prepared for this test, 4TE have been immersing themselves into TTRockstars. You can just hear the concentration! Keep practising guys!
