Good afternoon.
It has been such a lovely final week of term for us here at XP Gateshead.
Year 7 – Presentation of Learning
Thank you so much to Year 7 parents for your feedback from the Year 7 PoL. We are so proud of the students and their hard work. You can watch the PoL back by clicking on this link.
Christmas Lunch
A massive appreciation to Suzanne and Cheryl in our kitchen for a beautiful spread and themed desserts too. Students gave our kitchen staff a lovely round of applause this morning – most definitely well-earned.
Year 7 Reverse Advent
Crew KDO have co-ordinated our reverse advent and dropped over 100 items at Gateshead Stadium this morning to be donated to the food bank.
Year 8 Reverse Advent
Crew MRS have co-ordinated our year 8 reverse advent and yesterday Sister Josepha came into school for our Christmas shoe boxes.
All donations from Year 7 and Year 8 have been gratefully received and will make such a difference to families this Christmas.
Year 8 presentations
Building on their work on diversity and belonging from their expedition Being Human, students in Year 8 have been working on presentations to their Crew about what makes them unique. It has been lovely to see students recognising their own strengths and reminding each other why they are admired.
Expert Speaker in Nature Club
After school yesterday we had an expert guest at Nature Club from the Marine Conservation Society. Students were fantastic in their questions and really enjoyed learning about this important work.
A final week to be proud of!
