Members of Crew Malala have started preparing for the passage presentations in the new year. Passage is where students have the opportunity to show how they have grown and that they are prepared for starting their GCSEs. This morning students reflected on their time at XP East and started preparing what they want to talk about during their Passage presentations.

Every other Wednesday Crew Malala get their high viz vests on and head out to do their litter pick towards their Bronze D of E award. Crew splits into four teams of three, we use a timer for ten minutes, and divide and conquer the site into zones to make the most efficient use of our time. During debrief of the activity, Crew said that they found these ten minutes really productive, and because they have a fixed amount of time, it goes really quickly and everyone has a job to do. Crew agreed that Pickers of the Week are Will, for retrieving the most amount of litter, and Deanna for taking responsibility for the bin bag. Nice work Crew Malala!

Students in E28 Spanish are planning to respond to their Guiding Question, “¿Cómo me conecto con el mundo?” (How do I connect to the world?). They are creating mindmaps to organise their learning from this term in preparating for producing an extended piece of writing in Spanish next session.

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:
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:
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!

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!
