This morning we have been exploring the work of Peter Thorpe, an American artist who creates abstract art and has created lots of artwork about space.
During our gallery walk we shared with our talk partners what we noticed, what we praised and what we wondered about each piece of artwork.
We are looking forward to creating our own pieces of space art using some of Peter Thorpe’s
techniques.
We have had a wonderful day celebrating our beautiful work. This week we have been very busy playing our phonics screening games, reading alien words and lots of tricky words. We all did a fantastic job! Today we have had a party with our aliens enjoying music, dancing and cooling down in a shade.
In Class 2 we started the day with some Zumba moves. It was so much fun!
What a morning filled with dancing, singing and fun! We are feeling very proud of ourselves for completing our challenge to make sure someone from Year 2 was filling the dance floor at all times all the way till lunchtime!
Thank you to everyone who supported us in raising funds towards our end of year celebrations!

In the spring of 2023, the KS1 pupils from primary schools across the XP Trust undertook a cross-curricular learning Expedition called ‘Ready Steady Grow’, where they looked to answer the guiding question…
‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’
The Expedition culminated in this beautiful collaborative book – filled with recipes, healthy eating advice and the story behind the students’ learning!
We’re going on a ‘booknic’ @ Carcroft School
Beautiful work from Scarlett and Winnie @ XP Gateshead

We are very proud to announce that we are the winners of the rounders competition that took place on the 14th of June at Campsmount Academy. Norton Crew won every single game! Well done everybody for your resilience and fantastic team work. We are super proud of you!
We love reading and sharing stories with our friends. Every morning we take turns to read a book in front of our class. We are very kind and we praise children for trying their best, supporting each other and reading with enthusiasm. We love our class reading crew!
This week in reception we have been reading ‘Whatever Next’. In the story Baby Bear makes a rocket and takes off to the moon. In our crews we decided to build our own rockets using various materials. The children demonstrated great team work skills and had some amazing ideas…
They worked so hard we decided to reward their efforts with a biscuit in the sunshine 🌞 Great work reception 👏 👍 😀
What a lovely start to the day….a visit to our library and then reading our books outside.
