XP East Fieldwork to Thackray Museum of Medicine

We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for our XP East students as part of our current expedition, You Give Me Fever. On Thursday, 30th January, students will be visiting the Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds. This fieldwork will provide invaluable insights into the history of medicine, complementing their classroom learning with real-world context and interactive exhibits.

Here are the key details for the day:

• Date: Thursday, 30th January
• Location: Thackray Museum of Medicine, Leeds
• What to bring: A packed lunch, a coat, a bag, and a pen
• Timing: The fieldwork will take place during the school day, with students returning to school in time for normal collection hours (traffic dependent).

This promises to be an unforgettable experience where students can engage with the fascinating evolution of medicine and deepen their understanding of how health care has changed over time. Please ensure that your child is prepared with everything they need for the day.

Thank you for your support in making this learning opportunity possible. We can’t wait to share what we’ve learned!

Fortunately, the weather is on our side this week, meaning fieldwork to Hyde Park Cemetery for E31 is back on!

We will be leaving school and heading to the cemetery by foot after Crew. We will return to school in time for lunch, so students will leave at normal time.

Please can you ensure that your child arrives to school wearing appropriate footwear and wearing a coat. We will be outside for the entirety of our visit and it is important students stay warm!

This fieldwork is in support of our Expedition 7.2 Dig Deep.

We appreciate your support in working with us through the many changes we have faced due to adverse weather.
