More experimentation her, Lucy chose to mix up the pizza toast with her idea of a crumpet base.
Again, these picture could have come straight from a recipe book.
Beautiful work Lucy!

Here is Maddie trying out a recipe for our food boxes.
Maddie went a little off-piste and used plain flour rather than wholemeal flour for these cookies with a difference, and chose to make fewer, larger cookies too.
That’s what it’s all about, experimenting in the kitchen and having a great time, which is fantastic to see!
(Not sure about drinking raw egg though)
Great work Maddie!
Louie has also been trying out recipes before they were gathered in our food boxes.
Here is Louie’s breakfast ensemble which looks delicious.
Beautiful work Louie!
Good morning!
Students are currently working on creating scale models of designs for a landscape which will become the base for their wire soldier sculptures.
We need as many empty cereal boxes as we can get our hands on please. If your child can bring some into school before Thursday of next week, we would really appreciate it.
Enjoy your Frosties! (other frosted flake brands are available)
Dear Parents/Guardians
Welcome to another exciting week at XP Gateshead
I hope everyone has enjoyed the bank holiday weekend.
This week we will be revealing our very exciting next expedition which students will be working on up to the end of the Summer term – this was slightly delayed from last week as we wanted to make sure our food boxes were delivered to Edberts house.
Food/recipe boxes were successfully delivered to Edberts house and students presented their learning and also learnt a little about the work Edberts house do in the community.
New Staff appointments Learning Coaches and Crew Leaders
We successfully appointed two new members of staff as learning Coaches and crew leaders for next year. They are Saorise Blain and Kati Donlan and we are looking forward to both joining our “crew”. They will start with 5 weeks of induction alongside other new staff on June 6th.
This week we will be holding interviews for a full time administrator post to begin next year.
PE lessons
Apologies for the short notice, but due to a staff absence and interviews for the admin+ role, PE will now need to be on Wednesday of this week for both classes.
Lateral Flow Testing
Please complete a Lateral Flow Test with your child on Monday evening (tonight), and again on Wednesday evening and complete our website with the results before sending your child to school.
Covid infections are decreasing, but given the size of our setting this really helps us to keep everyone safe and for our school to remain open.
We really do appreciate your support.
Now that the government has decided to remove the wearing of face coverings as one of the mitigation measures in schools, we are happy for students (and staff) to continue wearing masks if they feel more comfortable doing so.Â
If you require any extra LFT kits please let us know.Â
We will continue to keep doors and windows open for ventilation so students are advised to bring multiple layers to school to keep warm. This is how we look after each other – #wearecrew
Guidance for isolation following a positive test
Any student who has a positive Covid-19 test result should stay at home and avoid contact with people for 3 days. As long as they are well they may return to school following the three days. There is no longer a requirement for students to test negative on the day when they return to school.
As usual if you have any questions please contact crew leaders in the first instance.
Kind regards
Mark Lovatt
Principal
Isabelle has also been trying out recipes before they were gathered in our food boxes.
Here is Isabelle working on Jack Munroe’s beetburgers, and the final product looks straight out of a serving suggestion photograph!
Absolutely fantastic work Isabelle.
Today our students delivered their food boxes to our partners Edberts House.
As you have seen students have been trying out recipes and Crews have paired up to plan a menu of meals for a week. We have created two food boxes with ingredients for recipes from Cooking on a Bootstrap by Jack Munroe. These food boxes will provide food security to two families for this coming week.
This is really important work. We ask our students to work hard, and to get smart, so they can go out into the world and be kind by making a positive difference to their community. What an incredible thing that they have done, with our families’ help in donating this food.
A really proud moment for us all, and a special appreciation to Ruby, Lucy, Isla, Maddie who presented their learning using extracts from their answers to our guiding question “Is survival sufficient?”
To those that have visited Gateshead in the last couple of week from other areas of the country, they might well have wondered why the place smells of pizza toast!?! Look no further it’s our G28 students.
This is important and beautiful work that Liam and his peers have been doing though.
A reminder that students have been trying out the recipes ahead of us putting together food boxes with food for a whole week’s worth of Jack Munroe’s recipes. These food boxes were then donated to families through our partners Edberts House.
This was part of our STEAM learning expedition, Staying Alive.
Fantastic work Liam!
Betsy has also been cooking again, here is her berry smoothie and a return of her pizza toast – this is fast becoming a favourite among G28.
Beautiful work Betsy.
