Thank you to the family and friends who attended last night’s Presentation of Learning where students spoke so beautifully about why we still need charity.  A massive thank you to those of you who donated food items for the Given Freely, Freely Given emergency food and clothes bank at St John the Evangelist Church, Balby.  We will be accepting donations of food, clothing and household items until the end of term.

It’s all go for E24 at the moment!  As mentioned last night, their next Presentation of Learning will be on Thursday 12th December, 4.30-5.30pm where they will be presenting their work and findings on their current STEAM expedition ‘Slow Down’ which gave them the opportunity to explore answers to the guiding question:

How Can Maths and Physics Save Life?

As ever, we thank you for your support on these evenings which are a crucial part of your child’s learning. We look forward to seeing you there!

 

 

 

A Sponsored Success!

By H Hickson3rd December 2019

E25 completed their sponsored walk/run today to raise money for the Conversation Club to support our expedition.

It was great to see a different side to the students out of the classroom – stand out students for effort were:

Ava

Woody

Zak

Zach

Charlie

Tom

Callum A

Jacob

Aaron

These students really worked hard to run as far as they could – reaching 3 laps! Image result for RUNNING CARTOON WELL DONE

I’d really like to appreciate all the students for their involvement in this – it was an enjoyable afternoon and we got some great footage to use in our final product documentary. The money raised will be put to good use to support the asylum seekers at the Conversation Club. We can’t wait to find out the grand total when combined with the money raised from XP

Please can all sponsor forms and money be handed into school by Friday 6th December – thank you to those who have done so already!

Everything grows together!

By Natalie Johnson28th November 2019

You may have seen earlier in the week we posted about Crew NJO harvesting the vegetables from the XP and XP east garden… well they’ve now made their way to the food bank!

Over 4 bags of freshly grown beetroot, leeks and carrots were delivered, just in time to support those in need around Christmas!

We received a fantastic reaction from the food bank which makes it all worth while! Having been there myself they are some of the most selfless and inspiring people I have ever met and I am glad we could do something to help them.

Well done to all involved in building the planters, planting the seeds, caring for the veg, harvesting it and of course delivering it all last Tuesday evening!

We are crew.
