It’s always great to hear from my Crew – or the “Youngsters” – as I affectionately like to call them, and despite the privations and limitations of the social distancing measures it seems some are still managing to get out and about to enjoy the sunshine and keep their fitness levels up. This will be helpful as we look into amending our plans for DofE skills, physical and volunteering activities.
Special mention should go to Maclaren who has completed each and every piece of work from Spanish, maths, HUMS, STEM and art that have been set so far, often before the submission deadline, and this shows excellent HOWLs and time management skills. Well done Maclaren! You are really setting the bar in terms of self-motivation and commitment.
Lewis is also very much on top of his work load and it is clear that he prioritises study and then, quite rightly, rewards himself with some down time. I also hear that he is using resistance bands and going for long bike rides and runs to maintain his fitness. Here is a piece of art work that he was working on recently:
Also very pleasing is how Eleanor and Dominic have received praise from Mrs Sprakes for nearing the completion of Spanish+ tasks at “Developing” standard.
This morning I heard back from Keisha, who is working towards completing hums tasks set recently, whilst also receiving a certificate in Horse Care at “distinction” grade a week ago. Great work Keisha – I know how much compassion you show when volunteering to work with disabled horse riders in your spare time.
