Last week Year 7 went on fieldwork to Endcliffe Park in Sheffield to test the hypothesis that ‘the width and depth of the river will increase with distance from the source’. As well as ‘the velocity of the river will increase with distance from the source’.
Students worked as geographers and had a great day!
Next Wednesday, students in Year 10 from both XP and XP East will be holding our third annual climate conference at XP East school. This important event will highlight the ongoing issue of climate change and see our students inform you of the current challenges and what you can do to help.
The climate conference will also serve as the Presentation of Learning for students, so we would love to see you all here at XP East!
We were assigned Japan as our country for our creative work during sports day. Crew decided to build a mascot outfit based on a samurai with stunning results! After an hour of hard work this is what we achieved.
As we reach the end of our journey together, my heart is full of pride and gratitude. Watching each of you grow into the remarkable young people you are today has been one of the greatest joys of my career.
Over the years, we have faced challenges, celebrated successes, and created countless memories. Each of you has shown resilience, compassion, courage, and a willingness to support one another. These qualities will serve you well as you embark on the next chapter of your lives.
I have been overwhelmed by the thoughtful gifts, messages, and cards you have shared with me. They are treasured reminders of the bond we have built. Your kind words and gestures have touched me deeply and will be cherished always.
While it is difficult to say goodbye, I am excited for what lies ahead for each of you. You are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and character to make a positive impact in the world. I have no doubt that you will go out and show everyone what you are made of.
To the parents, grandparents and carers of Crew Pankhurst, a huge thank you for all your support and teamwork. Your encouragement and involvement have been key to your children’s success and character growth. It’s been a real privilege to work with you and help guide these amazing young people.
Thank you for the laughter, the learning, and the unforgettable experiences. I will miss each of you dearly, but I am confident that the future holds incredible opportunities for you all.
Remember, this is not the end, but a new beginning. Take with you the lessons learned and the friendships formed, and continue to strive for excellence in all that you do.
Go forth, Crew Pankhurst, and make your mark on the world. ‘There is more in you than you know’.
