Crew Brunel have had an amazing start to Year 8! Everyone has shown me the best version of themselves so far and I look forward to seeing them blossom over the next academic year.
As part of their Presentation of Learning (POL) last week, Crew Brunel created a short video describing all of the activities they had taken part in on their first week back. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Crew Kelly started the new school term really positively. Team games, making hampers for care homes, fieldwork to Lakeside to reflect on the guiding question ‘How can I show kindness to myself and my community and have a positive impact?’. Seeing the beautiful seals with tunes curtesy of Alfie, made for a lovely coastal walk in Flamborough and a great end to Crew Week.
Crew Lovelace engaged in some in and out of school activities with links to team work and kindness during their first week back at school. We had a great week back navigating each other through obstacle courses, listening to ‘with me in mind’ visitors, making, creating characters then playing cluedo, visiting Age UK and gifting a kindness box and a tranquil walk along the coast at Flamborough as a crew. A great start to the new year, before immersing into their new expeditions.
What a fantastic first week back we had in Crew Sinfield!
On Tuesday we completed our crew norms and had a great check in finding out what everyone got up to over the holidays. We also created time capsules through looking for a newspaper article from this year and completing a solo where students wrote a letter to their future self. Wednesday we went to Sandall Beat Wood where we completed lots of activities including den building- where we had some fantastic shelters. On Thursday we completed crew activities including the floor is lava and minute to win it- crew worked really well- particularly with Line ball!
Crew showed each other fantastic compassion and really worked hard and together. I was so impressed with the hard work they showed and I am really excited about the year ahead.
As a Crew, we can’t believe it’s Week 3 already! Crew Pasteur have come back excited and positive about the challenges of Year 10, and it’s been a whirlwind since those first (mostly) sunny days since the first week back.
Crew Darling has kicked off Year 10 in style, showing true XP values!
Our first week was packed with team-building activities, including a blindfold challenge that tested trust and courage (well done Junior for leading Crew to safety!), and winning the Egg Drop, proving their craftsmanship and teamwork are ready for the year ahead!
During a micro-adventure around Doncaster, Crew spread kindness, delivering flowers to strangers, including staff at Sue Ryder and Cancer Research, who helped them collect antiques and a mascot. A huge thank you to the people of Doncaster for supporting and embracing our acts of kindness.
Back in school, we listened to expert speakers (XP Alumni) around careers, getting to grips with options for the future! We continued to spread Kindness around school and act as stewards of our community!
Crew Darling has started a scrapbook to capture these memories and achievements, and there’s plenty more to come! Most importantly, we had a fantastic week rebuilding Crew and the bonds which will support us through our GCSEs!
Watch this space for more awesomeness from Crew Darling!
