E28 Fieldwork to Potteric Carr

5th July 2022Web Blogger

On Tuesday the 12th of July, XPE year 7 students will be going on fieldwork to the nature reserve Potteric Carr in Doncaster. This will take place within school hours; students need to be on time for crew to register as normal and they will be back for a debrief during session 5. Students will be lead by an expert lead into the different species’ habitats that exist in Potteric Carr. We will have the opportunity to explore these habitats, and see the species we have been researching in person. We will study how these species have adapted to suit their environment, this will be followed with lots of time for questions. We should finish our morning with a guided meditation session before we head back on the bus to debrief our day. As we have been studying about animal habitats during our current expedition this is a great opportunity for E28. I have attached a kit list here to help students prepare for the day and weather. Any questions please contact myself or your child’s crew leader.

E28 Fieldwork – Friday 4th March 2022

1st March 2022Web Blogger

On Friday 4th March E28 staff are taking E28 students to Sherwood Pines in Nottinghamshire on Fieldwork to go to their World War one trench.

Students will be leaving school at 9am and will be returning before the end of school at 3.15 (traffic allowing).

Students will need to bring a packed lunch, a drink, two bin liners (to sit on in the trench) and their pencil case.

Students will need to wear warm clothes (lots of layers) as we will be spending a lot of time outside.  It is also wise for them not to wear their best trainers as we will be walking on paths and in bits of woodland.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me on [email protected]

Crew Boseman Litter Pick

24th January 2022Web Blogger

Last week saw Mr Stables’s year 7 crew Boseman take part in a little micro adventure,

After discussing what they would like to do in a short break from working hard in crew time it was decided that a litter pick would be the perfect activity on a Thoughtful Thursday.

In small teams the students entered into a friendly competition to see who could collect the most rubbish, they were all proud of their efforts and are excited to keep the school litter free for the future. They all pledge to be more responsible for their litter and what impact they can have on the local area. We look forward to seeing more of their hard work in the future!
