Crews across the E26 phase have been taking part in ‘XPionage’ recently. This involved pupils keeping a beady eye on their classmates (targets) during sessions and then reporting their findings on a top secret document. Some pupils felt more comfortable writing their appreciations down rather than verbalising them publicly in a community meeting. The activity was organised in a way to encourage pupils to focus on peers they might not ordinarily work closely with, or make appreciations of. Here are a couple of the positive comments Crew Obama are delighted to have received:
“My target not only worked hard in all sessions but also showed craftsmanship and quality when given their new book. They showed all of the character values by putting their hand up and showed courage in maths when there was a question.”
“My target showed compassion when giving me more of an insight on the passage work in crew by saying what order I could do things in. They also showed courage by speaking up and voicing their opinions which I know can be difficult for some people.”
We have also been continuing with our Duke of Edinburgh Award skills. Last week, pupils worked in small groups to work out how to deal with a range of first aid situations they might encounter whilst on outdoors expeditions. Some groups opted to use their amazing drama skills to re-enact the case studies, which was great! We then paired up with Crew Mercury this afternoon for everyone to present their work to an audience.
