This week, linking to our expedition on transformational change, Crew White turned our attention to small acts of kindness. One of these acts involved writing an appreciation postcard to a member of staff, accompanied by a small flower as a token gesture. It was heart-warming to see Crew members thinking so carefully about who they wanted to appreciate and why. The messages they wrote were thoughtful, genuine, and full of gratitude.
The activity was a real success and provided a lovely pick-me-up for staff. Moments like these remind us how powerful small gestures can be in creating positive change within our community.
Crew Brunel kicked off the week in a calm and positive way with a mindful session in the sportshall. We spent some time burning off a little energy – kicking a ball around, skipping, playing throw and catch, and enjoying some relaxed time together before settling into the week ahead. It was a great way to start with focus, connection and a clear head.
On Tuesday, we continued our Passage work, diving back into our science books from Year 7 and 8. It was interesting to look back at how far everyone has come, identify the progress made, and reflecting on their learning journey so far.
Midweek, we explored our final Wise Wednesday topic for this term. With all our topics now finished, students will begin creating and refining their own presentations, bringing together the progress, insights, and reflections they’ve gathered throughout the term.
Later in the week, we looked at praises and conducts, checking out who has climbed to the top of our Crew praise leaderboard. It was great to see so much positive recognition being shared.
We rounded off the week with our whole-school community meeting, where we celebrated character traits and shared real examples of staff and students showing them in action. We also found out who topped the praise leaderboards across the school – huge congratulations to Liam, Matilda, Pippa and Ayden who all tied for the top spot in Year 9! A fantastic achievement. As always, there was time for apologies, appreciations and stands, strengthening our community spirit.
Another brilliant week for Crew Brunel – well done everyone!
