Dear All,
I hope you have all had a restful and safe Easter break and I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you all back to what will be an exciting new Summer term at XP Gateshead.
We are expecting students at the normal time tomorrow and look forward to welcoming them back after the holiday.
Expeditions
Students will be completing their final product from the “Staying Alive” expedition this week and we will start on Tuesday morning with students sharing the recipes they have been cooking from the Jack Munroe recipe book. Students will be using what they have learned about nutrition during this expedition to put together food boxes. Our food boxes will contain ingredients and recipes to feed a family of four for a whole week. We hope to be able to deliver our food/recipe boxes to Edberts House in Gateshead next week.
We will also be starting our major new Summer term expedition and students will begin immersion this week. I wonder if anyone will be able to guess what it is about!
PE sessions this week
As mentioned above, this coming week we are starting a new learning expedition which will combine HUMAN and STEAM. This has meant that we have changed the timetable slightly for the coming week.
For this week, Class 2 will have PE on Tuesday 19th April as normal. However Class 1 will have PE on Wednesday 20th April this week.
In the week commencing Monday 25th April, both classes will return to PE on Tuesday.
Covid Testing
Covid infections are still high in the community so as normal we would ask you to ensure that your child has taken an LFT test and entered the result on our website as normal. LFT tests are available on request so if you have run out your son/daughter can ask their crew leader for more. We appreciate your support in helping to keep our community safe and our school open.
As usual if you have any questions/queries please ask your child’s crew leader in the first instance.
Best wishes
Mark Lovatt
Principal
