What an absolutely jam-packed first week back we’ve had.
Students have worked in crews to answer their guiding question which has enabled them to reflect on our character traits.
Currently our C30 students are returning from Aberdovey and Austerfield, tired out but with lots of stories to share from their crew adventures. C29 completed some fabulous work at Sandall Beat Woods yesterday and even saw one of trust Primary Schools there too! C28 enjoyed their fieldwork in Flamborough, exploring the cliff top and navigating the coastal path. Many of our C27 students faced huge challenges as part of the abseil from the bridge at Miller’s Dale yesterday and our C26 students completed fieldwork at Langsett Lake. The students have prepared and presented their learning to the other crews in their year group, sharing their stories and experiences.
Coming up this week
NEW TERM – NEW EXPEDITIONS
A new term means new and exciting expeditions for our students. As always, immersion takes place this week and our students will be working hard to find out what their new guiding questions are and the challenges and new learning their expeditions will bring. We can’t wait to welcome you to the Presentations of Learning at the end of term where they will share this learning.
