X25 Celebration of Learning – REMINDER

By Mr M Said17th December 2018

A reminder that the X25 (Year 7) celebration of learning is this Wednesday evening, 19th December from 5.30pm until around 7.00pm.

It is important that every student has someone from their family at this event as it helps to provide an authentic audience for their work in what will be a great celebration of their efforts in their very first learning expeditions at XP.

Students are asked to dress smartly as this is a formal occasion. Students can bring a change of clothes or can choose to attend in smart clothes for the whole day.

Student must stay in school between 3.15pm and the start of the celebration of learning. They will be given some time to relax after school and before the last rehearsals, so they can bring a pack up tea if they choose.

We look forward to seeing you this week!

 

Many thanks

X25 Admiral students grappling in Spanish

By David Pearson14th October 2018

Last week out X25 Spanish students were introduced to items of stationery that might be found in their bag or pencil case…..in the unlikely event that they would need to borrow an item. They will now be able to ask for it in Spanish. Here they are completing a Tarsia word wheel puzzle to practise this new vocabulary. Some had eight pieces to match up, and others had a more challenging puzzle with twelve pieces to locate in the correct place. Bravo!

By Mr J Walker13th October 2018
