Today 5EG were lucky enough to be able to visit Campsmount in preparation for the inevitable Year 7! While there were many anxious faces this morning it was clear to see they all had a great day!
Fun at Campsmount!
Happy Friday – here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust this week!

Sweet Tasting Connoisseurs!
This week, in preparation for creating our own sweet treat, 4TE became connoisseurs, reviews and critics of exisiting sweet products to see what qualities of different products we liked, and maybe didn’t like, to influence our own future creations! It was a lovely break in the midst of test week where everybody focussed and applied themselves to their best abilities! In the same week, we took part in a number of TTRockstar Rock Battles where against strong opposition, we triumphed against the might of Year 6 alongside our fellow Year 4 class, 4GC. What a super week we have had!
Theme park planning!
Excitement and enthusiasm are just two of the words you would use to describe our Maths lesson today as 6CC set to work planning their very own theme parks!
Each pair began their work by budgeting and discussing which attractions and amenities should be included in their theme parks. Plenty sensible kept much of their £4 million budget which came in handy after they had overlooked one major aspect of their park: pavements! 😱 Despite the slight planning flaw, the groups proceeded to design the floor plan for their theme parks. WeOur crew can’t wait to present their finished parks and to create branding advertising their creations!
Punctuated with a lolly!
What a way to end the week in 4GC! We’ve had some tough times today sitting two maths tests but we are one tough team. And what better way to enjoy the afternoon by quenching our thirst with a nice cold ice lolly in the glorious sunshine. An amazing class enjoying the amazing weather. What an amazing job it is to be their teacher. Enjoy your weekend.
Battle of the year groups.
In quite unbelievable scenes at NJS today, we witnessed the seemingly impossible. Year 4 laid down a rock battle gauntlet to Year 6. To the absolute shock (and consternation) of Mr Hewitt in particular, year 4 reigned victorious in a pretty comprehensive victory defying all the odds. Credit to our awesome year 6 pupils however, who were gracious as ever in defeat.
The heart and the circulatory system
Over the last two weeks, Year 6 have been learning all about the body’s circulatory system. We have been reading ‘Pig Heart Boy’ in English lessons, have written scientific reports explaining how the heart works and have created some oil pastel artwork of the heart as you’ve never seen it before!
We are Crew!
This week the sun is shining, and so it is of course test week! The children are working extremely hard to show everyone how much they’ve achieved this year so they deserved a bit of extra crew time this afternoon. A few games of Tig and wink murder, while under the shade of the tree, and all tests were forgotten!
Sports day prep! 🏃♂️🎾🌤
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!
Sweet Treat Critics
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?
