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 Immersion fieldwork in January

By Gemma Vayro12th December 2018

In the New Year, X25 students will be visiting the National Mining Museum in Wakefield as part of their Immersion for the next expedition.

Admiral will be visiting on Wednesday 9th January and Skipper will be visiting on Thursday 10th January.  We will be leaving promptly at 8.45am and hope to be back in school by 3.15 pm, traffic allowing.

Students will need to bring a packed lunch with them including a drink, students on Free School Meals will be provided with a packed lunch/drink.

It is recommended that students wrap up warm for the visit, a warm coat, sensible shoes (trainers/boots- no heels) are recommended.  A small amount of time will be spent outside and with the weather starting to turn I also recommend students bring a hat, scarf and a pair of gloves.

If there are any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me on gvayro@xpschool.org.

Many thanks in advance.
