Yesterday E28/Y10 students had a visit from With Me In Mind, a local organisation which helps students manage anxiety and other mental health concerns. One of the strategies they talked about was mindfulness, and so this morning we are putting that into practise by doing some mindful colouring to start our day.
This term’s title include Rule of Wolves, Death Note, The Carpet People, Kick to the Moon, Keeper, and Why Every Farmer Needs a Flamethrower.
This term we have begun to use part of our Thoughtful Thursday. Crew have identified their priorities and begun to use time to revise, recall and develop their knowledge of a range of subjects.
Next week we will be looking at revision techniques and bring back to Crew how we have found flash cards, revision diagram and the revision clock.
Crew also received their certificates for successfully achieving our Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award.
Below are photos of this week’s lost property. If you see anything that belongs to you, please claim it at the office. Anything that’s left will be donated at the end of the week.

Walking through nettles. Sitting in the shade. Following the Countryside Code. Helping each other. Making friends with a horse. Digging deep. Laughing. What a day.
Congratulations to all of Crew Malala for completing their D of E Bronze. Massive thanks to Mrs. Mawby who supervised us and made sure we made it through safely. Well done everyone. We are so proud of you.

Crew Malala had a very long, very warm, but very successful Day 1 of their D of E Bronze Expedition. Students packed up and left school this morning, setting off for a 10K walk from Norton Junior School to Brockadale Nature Reserve and back again. Students worked on teamwork, listening skills, supporting one another, and digging deep. It was a tough but rewarding day. Please check out the first round of photos. More to come tomorrow!

Last Friday Crew Malala had their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze practice walk. While at the start of the week we thought the weather might be awful it turned out to be a glorious day!
Myself, Mrs Mawby and Mrs Collinson were extremely proud of their team work and conduct while out on DofE.
Well done guys!!
Please take a look through the photos to claim something you may have lost. Any remaining items will be donated at the end of the week. Thank you.

Crew Malala
Crew Malala in E28 had a great term in Autumn 2023. Here are some of the highlights:
We have been working on our Duke of Edinburgh Voluntary Stewardship by taking our turn to pick up litter around the school site. We have it down to a science, splitting into teams and taking different areas. We can clear the site of litter in around ten minutes!
With 97% attendance, we won the attendance league for Term 1a! We are waiting to see if we can keep the top spot for Term 1b.
At the end of Term 1b, E28 had their termly awards. Crew Malala came out on top with three awards! Fasia won for kindness, Alex for most improved, and Holly won for consistently working hard. Holly was a unanimous decision by all teachers who voted.
Crew Malala are looking forward to what 2024 brings. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Crew Malala. See you in January.
