E28 Raising Donations for Local Food Bank

Hello everyone! 

E28 are doing a food donation to Thorne and Moorends Community Food Bank. This foodbank was a project started by the local community working to stop people going hungry in the area. The foodbank gives people in need food and ingredients such as canned goods, pasta, rice and cartons of fruit juice. As a year group, we have decided to collect donations to give to the food bank so we would appreciate it if your child could bring in a small donation to XP East. The food banks urgently need tins of tomatoes, fruit, vegetables, cartons of milk, cartons of fruit juice and packets of biscuits. However, they do not need items such as beans, pasta and toothpaste. You could also donate other items such as pet food, recipe books and toiletries. The deadline for the collection is the 21st September.

If you wish to donate further, here is the link to the Thorne and Moorends Food Bank:

E28 Crew Malala getting creative with pledges!

Crew Malala spent some time creating colourful posters to decorate their Crew space. Each student created one letter or star and included a pledge for this term. Pledges include:

  • Manage my distractions
  • Show compassion to others
  • Take on more responsibility in Crew
  • Challenge myself to stay on task
  • Improve my listening skills

Every week members of Crew Malala will look at their praises and conducts from the week before, and reflect on how these might help them work to meet their pledges. Brilliant work Crew Malala!

The Floor is Lava for E28!

Welcome back to E28. Students spent the morning resetting Crew by playing a round of The Floor is Lava! Students had to work in Crews to move their whole crew across the sports hall without touching the floor or the obstacles on it, all the while keeping a tennis ball in a bit of drain pipe. Students developed their teamwork and communication skills, all while having a great time!

Celebrating Success with Crew Malala

This last couple of weeks Crew Malala has had some really significant successes!
Not only have we had 100% attendance for the last two weeks and been top of the attendance league, but we also won the World Book Day quiz achieving 34 out the 35 questions correctly!

However our success is also paying off in lessons. Crew Malala is working hard, getting smart and being kind.

Fasia earned the most praise points in year 8 for the week beginning 20th February.

We also dropped into Maths on Friday lesson 5. At the end of the lesson every member of Crew Malala was nominated for praise from either their peers or Miss Mountain (their maths teacher). It was a really proud moment to hear other students recognising that our Crew are working hard.

A big shout out to Jack and Emily too, as last week they both represented the school at the Indoor Athletics tournament.

Finally, Deanna and Alex have both won major speaking parts in the school’s production of Macbeth. Please keep checking the website for details and performance dates.

Well done Crew Malala!

  • Students have been working on mindfulness, doing crafting activities to help them focus and manage their school stress;
  • Crew Malala made it through to the next round of the Playstation Cup!

We are looking forward to what Term 2B might bring!

E28 Crew Moore Mindful Monday Crafting

After our regular Mindful Monday check in crew Moore were set the challenge of working as a team to create banner of Christmas bunting. Each table was given just a craft pack and a set of instructions. The activity was time bound meaning they need to work quickly and communicate well. Both teams grappled with missing parts and elements falling off before achieving their goals. We ended with a quick clean up maintaining our leave no trace moto.
