This term in Spanish, X27 have been learning to talk about healthy and unhealthy habits. Students completed a formal assessment earlier in the week, and our final lesson was spending some time using Canva to create posters giving tips and advice for leading a healthy life. Really creative work from Year 9, showcasing their technical skills and their knowledge of Spanish.
I wanted to show some pieces of work that Olivia, Jessy and Nida have been working on at home.
All three girls have really impressed me with their work ethic and are showing how they ‘Get Smart’.

I wanted to share some of the beautiful work that 9 Skipper has been producing in their art sessions.
I am so impressed with the craftmanship and quality.
Year 9’s first expedition of the year is called ‘Another Brick in the wall’ which has the guiding question ‘How are our lives affected by structures?’
They have created their own expedition title pages:
They have been looking at the street artist Phlegm and reproducing their own work in his style as well as an artist research page.
As you can see – it’s looking great!
Over the past few lessons X27 have been grappling with GCSE content regarding Christian Belief’s about the Creation story. We have embedded this further by splitting into groups and producing a jigsaw piece which symbolises one of the 7 days of creation.
Students then presented their thoughts in their groups regarding which day they think is most important. A fantastic discussion had by all! Well done for working hard Ethics!
LOOL Citizenship student Nida shared this fantastic set of revision notes she has been working hard on over the weekend! Nida has been collecting information on the UK’s role in global organisations, ready for her next Citizenship lesson. What an amazing role model Nida is to fellow Year 10 students for working hard!
Keep up the hard work Nida!
Today X28 started their immersion into their new year 8 expedition...
So far students have been grappling with; poetry, conducted acts of kindness and evaluated creation stories .. I wonder what all this has in common?
Have a look at their beautiful work so far!
As part of their final product year 7 have been working hard and offering one another Kind, Specific and Helpful critique of their nature poems! Students in C28 have been working tremendously hard on these, grappling with poetic devices and becoming true XP Poets! Fantastic work!
As they are coming to the end of Year 9, crew has been reflecting on their year. When thinking about their journey throughout the year, here are some of their highlights.
They have finished their second expedition of the year called ‘Every Picture Tells a Story’ by creating beautiful work. They looked at Islamic tiles and then used rotational symmetry to design their own patterns to paint with acrylic paint.
Here are some examples from Crew Kahlo:
Crew also chose their options for ‘Leading Our Own Learning’ that they will be studying next year. The crew has picked a range of options such as Engineering, Citizenship, Psychology, Further maths, ICT / Computing as well as some members of the crew decided to take up the opportunity to join the ‘pushing for 4’ group that will support them with Maths, English, and Science leading up to their exams.
They cant really believe that they are coming to the end of Year 9 and going into Year 10!
Last term Year 10 worked hard to produce a product talking all about their family, freetime, and device preferences. They could take on a role with a fictional family, or describe their actual family, and redrafted to produce beautiful Spanish. XP school produced this for XPE Year 10, and vice versa. Take a look, and a listen, to their final product.
After a Doncaster Free Press article caught our eye, as a school community we decided we wanted to make a difference to a member of our local community.
Hilda is a resident in a care home in Bentley, and this week she celebrated her 105th birthday… wow!!!! Hilda’s biggest wish for her birthday was to receive 105 birthday cards!
We wanted to help Hilda celebrate this wonderful moment, and so crews got to work on creating (or writing) birthday cards for Hilda. Take a look at some fabulous examples below!
As a school community across XP and XPE we managed to achieve….
DRUM ROLL PLEASE…
