Crews Rashford, Da Vinci and Curie made the most of the morning to have a quick walk to the lake today during Crew. Although there were a few grumbles about this at first, we spoke about how a walk in the morning can set us up right for the rest of the day by boosting our energy, improving our mood, improving our mental clarity and could actually help us sleep better at night. I’m not sure they were convinced, but they certainly returned to school with smiles on their faces!
We also had the opportunity to circle up and discuss our highlights of Y10, as we look ahead to Y11. Hopefully we’ll have lots more opportunities to experience the benefits of being outdoors as we move into full-on GCSE mode, and students really will be able to appreciate the benefits of a brisk morning walk!
