E29 Explorer has worked so hard this week! In History we have been studying key time periods regarding migration and analysing trends through historical enquiries. We finished a fantastic week, sat in the sunshine reading our anchor text Boy Everywhere this afternoon. Students shared discussions around the treatment of migrants, the harrowing descriptions of journeys made to a safer space, and did so with the most remarkable compassion. What a week!

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!
