E25 (Y8) Fieldwork Reminder: 8/11/19

By Henna Mistry6th November 2019

8Pioneer and 8Explorer will be out on fieldwork on Friday 8th November.  The location and planned activities relate to our current STEAM expedition ‘Under the Skin’ and the guiding question-“What is the state of the nation’s health and what should we do about it?”.

We will be visiting Sheffield Hallam University (Collegiate Campus). We have been learning about the lungs, heart and how poor health can affect our bodies. This visit will help us to understand more about what affects our health with a focus on cancer, how it is caused and can it be treated with radiotherapy.

Students will attend different workshops throughout the day at the Robert Winston Building and the virtual reality suite opposite the University.

If you have any further questions, please contact Miss Mistry – [email protected]

The fieldwork arrangements are as follows:

  • All students to arrive at school (and meet in E03) by 8:00am for a prompt departure at 8:30am.
  • Students will need to bring a packed lunch and bottle of water (no glass bottles, juice, cordial or fizzy drinks or sweets.) A packed lunch will be provided for those students receiving free school meals and parents I have contacted.
  • Please bring any prescribed medication required, clearly labelled in a plastic bag or envelope with your child’s name and required dosage.  This includes travel sickness tablets where necessary as we will be travelling by coach for approximately 1hour.
  • Sensible clothing, coat and shoes need to be worn- we will be inside for the day but will have a 5 minute walk to another building.
  • Students will return to school at approximately 3:15pm – although we will post updates on the school’s twitter account and the  XP East Parents/Carers Facebook group.
