This week Crew Barnes resumed their Duke of Edinburgh’s award ‘voluntary’ service by cleaning the school site and sorting out lost property. All our year 9 crews take on these acts of service as part of their DofE award, but we also do it because we are all stewards of our community. Well done Crew! We’ll be out again next week come rain or shine.
Today in crew, Shay kindly checked us all for radiation using his Geiger counter. A very useful service that we all appreciated greatly. This follows on from student’s work in the last expedition where they learned about radiation and the Chernobyl disaster.
Luckily we were all within normal limits.
Thank you Shay.
Students in X30 Year 7 will be visiting the National Coal Mining Museum on Friday 6th October. This fieldwork will be part of students expedition “From the Ground up”. We will leave school at 8.30am and return by 3.15pm. Students will need to bring a bag with:
A packed lunch (students on free school meals will be provided with a lunch), a pen / pencil / pencil case to complete work during the day and a warm coat as part of the day is outside.
If your child needs to take any medication, please inform their crew leader so that any necessary arrangements can be made.
If you have any queries please contact [email protected] or [email protected]
Crew Darling tackled the sorting of Lost Property this week. Please look at the photos to check if anything your child has lost has been handed in. If there is anything please ask at reception or send your child to collect it.
Enjoy a snippet of Crew Darling’s first week back! It has been a jam-packed week, full of activities focused on strengthening our bond as crew, and mentally preparing for the year ahead. We have worked on our communication skills, gone on beautiful fieldwork, played inter-crew games and more, all of which culminated in a POL this afternoon!
Year 9 is a rollercoaster of excitement and change, and the first week back with these unforgettable crew times sets the tone for the whole year. Looking forward to working hard with Crew this year!
X28 have made great progress in their walk at Flamborough! They are expected back to school at 3.30pm for collection. Students will be able to text parents when we are 15 mins away. We will let you know any further updates.
Our Year 11’s spent their first day back at Langsett Reservoir. This was a great way for pupils to have a reset and talk about their summer.
The second day was focussed on giving something back to our community. Crew Kahlo conducted a litter pick in the local area
Dear Parents and Carers,
Crew Darling and Crew Barnes are bonding together under the shared passion of re-wilding our school. We hope to attract more wildlife like bee’s, bunnies and more.
We hope if you have any spare flower seeds could you please donate them by Wednesday 24th of May 2023 so we can make our school bright and colourful again. X28 Crews have started studying the importance of caring for their environment in their Crew Wise Wednesday sessions. Crew worked hard last week learning about the impact Climate Change has on their environment, and ultimately how there is No Planet B!
We ask kindly that if you have any spare seeds and flowers (even flowering plants), that you drop them into reception to help us build a beautiful environment for nature around our school.
Crew Darling and Crew Barnes thanks you in advance!
