C Burnitt

It was fantastic to be back in crew this morning with Crew Sinfield!

We got back into crew norms and started to prepare for our next SLC’s. Crew really listened to the importance of reflecting over the last expedition and HOWLS ready for their SLC’s. As it’s the last one of year 8 we discussed using this as preparation for passage presentations next year and how we need to manage the time we have and make sure we are ready for when our SLC happens.

Great work crew!!

K Burns

The first of the year 10 taster days will take place on Thursday 19th June at John Leggott college. Students will be leaving school at 9.30am and should arrive back by 3:15pm depending on traffic. All students will be provided with a lunch at the college or they can bring a packed lunch and will take part in a taster session in the morning and afternoon. The students have chosen the sessions that they would like to attend. XP Is proud to offer students a range of opportunities to help them make informed decisions about their next steps as they prepare to move into year 11.

The 2nd opportunity is Doncaster college on the 24th June, again students have chosen their taster sessions and will receive a letter this week with information about what they need to wear for the sessions. As Doncaster college has more vocational subjects this is really important. Doncaster college will provide meal vouchers for all students entitled to free school meals. Otherwise students should bring a packed lunch or can purchase a meal in the cafe, please be aware the college has a cashless payment system.

Our 3rd college visit on 14th July is to New College Doncaster, this is a morning visit and students have chosen 2 taster sessions. Lunch will be back at school so they will not need to change their usual routine.

This is a fantastic opportunity for students to begin to think about their choices as they prepare to leave XP.

This week Year 7 and 8 students visited The Laurel school for theirs first rounders fixture. Students played against Laurel and Don Valley. The sun was shining and some amazing rounders was played. Year 7 lost their games by 1/2 a rounder which was really un lucky. The year 8 team drew against Don Valley but lost their last game to Laurel. We had some amazing batting during both games. Looking forward to the next ones.

Another first this week was the cricket fixture against STW. Students demonstrated some great techniques during the match. Well done everyone make sure to come along to practice next week.
