Crew Anning (ACO): Our first week back

Crew Anning have had a fantastic (if a bit tiring!) first week back at XPE resetting crew. We have checked in after the summer, made time capsules, been on fieldwork to Sandall Beat wood, got competitive with other crews and done our first POL of the year!

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!

Crew Malala – DofE practice success!

Last Friday Crew Malala had their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze practice walk. While at the start of the week we thought the weather might be awful it turned out to be a glorious day!

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

Well done guys!!

The Spanish Team

Year 7 Spanish describing a house!

Today Year 7 (E30) learned words and phrases to say what rooms they might find in a home. Students practised the language and then worked together to produce a description of a house in Spanish. Students used sentence builders and graphics to develop their writing. They also worked on building their character traits of respect and integrity by working well and showing kindness to one another in their groups. Some students challenged themselves by adding in negatives and plurals.¡ Buen trabajo!
