A new Crew Leader and a Crew Mascot = Twice the Fun!
In the first week of the 2021 school year the whole of C24 spent a bracing day re-establishing old relationships and discovering new ones on a walk from North Landing to South Landing at Flamborough Head. It was Mrs Desborough’s first opportunity to spend some quality time with Crew Mandela, after being handed the reins by Mr Smith.
As they walked along the cliff tops, every member of the Crew took time to speak with Mrs Desborough about every thing from their goals for year 11 to their favourite order from the local takeaway. Enroute they stopped to watch seals swimming and sunbathing, swallows swooping over the grassy fields and Mr Shakesby trying to trick everyone in to carrying a rock.
Shortly after lunch Mrs Desborough and a couple of other members of Crew Mandela stopped to admire the offerings at a typical seaside gift shop. Amongst the array of bobbing turtles, clay seals and moles one particular ornament stood out. After some brief laughter it was obvious that this bargain buy was destined to be Crew Mandela’s mascot for year 11. Thankfully Mrs Desborough managed to get him home safely, ready to take pride of place in the Crew room.
Crew Mandela cannot wait to share the escapades of the newly christened (by democratic vote) Chunkz Evangelos and Mrs Desborough cannot wait to share the rest of year 11 with this fantastic Crew!
