XP East

A little fire pit crew session to start our week!

Crew Rashford spent a crew session outdoors round the fire pit. Enjoying hot chocolate and biscuits to kick start our week.

Being outdoors comes with many benefits such as improving mental health and wellbeing. Students that spend more time outside during the day have shown improved concentration, increased productivity, better behaviour and more positive relationships amongst their peer group.

So here’s to the warmer weather and more crew activities outside. 

When you’re ready, sunshine!! We are waiting for you!

We are the mighty Crew Rashford!

Mrs Watson and Mr Fawley. 

The weather is warming up (ish)- this can only mean one thing! We are back out and about doing awesome outdoor activities.

What an amazing session we had – Sitting round the campfire, sipping hot chocolate and eating s’mores. This was the first time making s’mores for some students, each of them really enjoyed taking on the challenge not to burn the marshmallow – it’s a fine art to get it just perfect! 

Here we are revisiting norms and expectations, practising fire lighting, enjoying spending time together, taking part in an old favourite shopping list game and de-gunging at the end. 

Mondays are the best days!

Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across our Trust this week!

Year 11 will need to be in school for history lessons Monday 13th. This is to ensure that we will complete the course content in time and enable us to revise and prepare students for exams in the remaining lesson time. 

XP will be in during the morning from 9-11:30. Skipper will be with Miss Hickson in X13 and Admiral in X11 with Mrs Hannam. 

XP East will be in during the afternoon from 12:30-3:00. Pioneer with Miss Hickson in A08 and Explorer in A07 with Mrs Hannam. 

It is so important that students attend these lessons, otherwise they will lose out on being taught content for their GCSE course. 

A reminder as well that students will be having their People’s Health and Elizabethan’s mock w/c 20th March so students need to be revising for this. 

History revision is on after school on Thursdays 3:30-4:30 and all the resources for revision are on Google Classroom, the Year 11 revision website and their textbooks. 

If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected] and [email protected] 

Thank you 

Miss Hickson and Mrs Hannam.

First Week back to the term and what an amazing week it has been. For part of Year 9’s expedition they had the honour to go to the Thackeray Museum in Leeds to have a look at diseases and medicines made back in the victorian times. As Crew Leader i was so proud and happy to see them learning and throwing themselves into every different room and the tasks.

They all showed Fantastic character traits and Howls! But most importantly how they respected the surrounding community as there were members of the public walking around. They presented themselves with compassion and using their manners.

What a fantastic way to start this term!
