To celebrate the Platinum Jubilee 3LG have been working really hard to learn March of the Golden Guards on the recorder. 3LG have worked really hard since February half term in their weekly recorder lesson, learning lots of new notes, discovering how to read music, practicing different songs and finding out about rhythm and beat.
Last week 3LG went on our fieldwork to Brodsworth Hall. We spent the day exploring the gardens, following the statue trail and viewing the house. The children asked lots of amazing questions about Brodsworth Hall and Peter Thellusson and as a result found out lots of exciting facts.
3LG were a credit to the school and numerous members of the public approached myself and Mrs Gracey to tell us how well behaved and polite the children were. They were a great representation of our school and all did themselves proud.
Happy Friday – here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust this week!

At the start of this week, 4TE took a trip down to Brodsworth Hall to explore more details about our expedition, ‘Why is Sugar Not So Sweet’. We all had a brilliant time exploring the hall and gardens and speaking to some experts about this fantastic building steeped in history! Above is a video of some of the pictures from our trip, and below are the photos used in the video, plus a few extra ones, 4TE hope you enjoy!
For Flexible Friday Crew 5EG asked to make pizzas, and I couldn’t say no! So this morning everyone helped to make a wrap pizza, vegetables were available!
On Tuesday, year 3 were lucky enough to visit the beautiful Brodsworth Hall exploring the history of the house and it’s links to the transatlantic slave trade. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the children enjoyed looking at all the original pieces of furniture and artefacts inside.
For P.E this week, 6CC received some cricket training ahead of the second summer term. The warm up focused on heightening their alertness and reaction times ahead of a smaller game; we certainly have a high number of competitive individuals in Year 6!
Looking at developing their bowling and batting skills, the children moved onto a small, four-sided game, where all had a chance to show their stuff with a cricket ball and bat; following this, the class was then split into two teams for a class quick cricket match in the sun.
On Monday 18th May, the whole of year four spent a day at Brodsworth Hall to further immerse ourselves in our expedition exploring the history of sugar and slavery. Our children were full of wonder and amazement, particularly regarding the artefacts on show in the hall itself. Below are just a handful of photos from the day…
Year 6 have had a great day at the Thackray Medical Museum in Leeds! We learnt about the gruesome history of diseases and the weird and wonderful treatments that were used in the past. We also found out just how far medicine has come and the amazing things that we can now do to cure injuries and illnesses in the modern day. The pupils were great role models as they walked around the museum and did the school proud as always.
On Tuesday, 6CC and 6SO visited the Thackray Museum in Leeds to gain an insight into the history of healthcare in Britain. The children began their journey at ‘Disease Street’: a Victorian street showcasing the horrifically unhygienic conditions and how medical emergencies were conducted at the time – without anaesthetic and any care for cleanliness. Further into the museum, the children learned about the stories behind some of the most prolific medical inventions and discoveries from the 1800s, such as Semelweiss and Lister. Watch our video to take a trip with us!
