Donde quiera que vayas

3rd November 2022Web Blogger

E28’s Pioneer had an outstanding session in Spanish on Today, they started off by going through ‘things they could do’ at the weekend and how to say this in Spanish along with where they would do these. Such as, Voy al cine. Voy a ver una película’ (‘I am going to the cinema. I am going to watch a film’). 

Students then made their way outside of the classroom to conduct their surveys of what their peers were doing over the weekend, in Spanish of course!

During this task the students were impeccable in the way that they conducted themselves.

From their surveys they were then asked to write a paragraph of what they had found out about their peers’ weekend plans. This encouraged students to use the guidance provided to push to ‘excellence’ on the rubric given to allow them to assess where they are at.

Throughout  the session, Pioneer’s HOWLs and character traits were fantastic, they showed courage, integrity, compassion, showed craftsmanship and quality, worked hard, got smart and were all kind to others.

Well done!

PE Kit

2nd November 2022Web Blogger

This is just a reminder that all students need a full change of kit on days when they have PE on their timetable, this is a change of top and bottoms.

If students have PE in the morning it is advised that come into school in their PE kit ready for the lesson and have a change of clothes for after.

We are aware that the weather is starting to change and it may be cold while outside doing PE, for this students can wear a base layer or sporting pullover and sports joggers to keep warm.

If their are any questions please speak with Mr Stables
