Today Crew Finch (along with the other XPE Crews) took part in their Presentation of Learning, as Expedition 360 draws to a close. There was a slight difference with the POLs this time as, rather than present to parents/cares, students had to present to their Crews. Some would say that was even more nerve wracking!
Our Crew presented their digital portfolios, which are basically an online record of their time in Y7, and showcases both their personal and academic development. Their digital portfolios will continue to grow until they leave school.
During the POL, each student had to reflect on Crew and talk about their favourite HUMANS and STEAM expedition (including reading out extracts of their work.) They also had to talk about how they’ve grown during Y7 both as a person and as a learner, before reading out their “Who am I?” poem or the letter they have wrote to their future selves.
At the end of their presentation, each student made a pledge for Y8, such as “I pledge to stay focussed during sessions,” “I pledge to try harder in STEAM” and , my favourite, “I pledge to try my hardest and not ‘huff and puff’ when I’m stuck!”
As you can imagine, it’s been an emotional afternoon!
Don’t worry, you haven’t missed out; the digital portfolios and the work Crew shared will be available soon online for you all to view.
