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.
Crew Malala – Day 2 D of E Bronze Expedition
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 – Day 1 D of E Bronze Expedition
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!

Myself, Mrs Mawby and Mrs Collinson were extremely proud of their team work and conduct while out on DofE.

Y9/E28 Fieldwork to Thackray Museum Leeds
The following has been emailed to parents / carers of Y9/E28.
On Monday 25th March Y9/E28 will be taking part in fieldwork to Thackray Medical Museum in Leeds.
This fieldwork has been planned to support their learning in ’You Give Me Fever’ and is a brilliant opportunity to bring the students’ learning to life in an exciting and engaging way. The experience will be used to support the expedition by developing a deeper understanding of the Science and History content that they have been studying this term.
We will depart at 9am and our expected arrival time back at school is approximately 2:45pm. Should there be any issues, we will provide updates on our ETA via the school website as this can be impacted by events out of our control such as traffic.
Students will need a packed lunch for this fieldwork. If your child is in receipt of free school meals, a lunch will be provided.
In addition to a packed lunch, students should bring their usual school supplies including pens and iPads.

E28 Crew Malala 2023 Round Up!
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.
