As part of their last expedition of Year 9, pupils have been looking at artist Ester Roi. After experimenting with watercolour paints and pencil they are now having a go at recreating a piece of artwork. X26 Admiral have made an excellent start and I can’t wait to see their work progress.
On the first day back after the New Year we pulled names out of a hat to spy on that person doing good things.
The comments below were made by a secret person from our Crew…
Ebony
Ebony’s behaviour in PE has improved and she didn’t have to stay in.
Liam
He worked hard in HUMAN.
Cejay
Cejay worked hard in Mr Sprakes’ lesson and his work was shown to the class.
Cain
Cain has worked very hard in all his lessons this week. He has contributed to work in maths by putting up his hand to answer questions. In HUMAN, when we were doing partner work he helped the people around him and caused no distractions in class. Cain shows compassion to those around him by helping others in lessons.
Alana
Alana worked really hard in HUMAN with Mr Sprakes, trying her hardest to complete the task. She also tried in maths and was very well behaved. in PE on Friday morning she was very well behaved.
Luke
Staying quiet about something I told him about.
Kolbaayyyy
Lighting up peoples day constantly, for example one afternoon someone was feeling down so he started dancing and singing and made it a whole lot more fun.
Ben
He was consistently good in all lessons.
Mollie
Worked very hard in all sessions this week.
Oscar
He had done work well and was kind. He got 100 PERCENT ON HIS MATHS TEST WELL DONE OSCAR *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*
Zach
Working hard in all lessons and helping everyone if they needed it.

I saw her helping other people in lessons. She’s been very good. 👏👏👏👏
This positivity has really helped to reboot Crew and set us up for a positive term!

It has been a long, eventful, successful and at times a challenging term for Crew Blessed. They have demonstrated our school character traits on a weekly basis from their amazing attendance as a Crew through to the quality of their work. This work was presented to a Year 7 audience following the recent change in restrictions regarding COVID. It was great to be able to see them discuss all the aspects of their work in such detail and with such maturity.
There has been some real personal successes this term and lots of character development by everyone in Crew Blessed. This development is great timing as we have Passage Presentation to look forward to in the New Year.
He’s taken on Piers Morgan, but can Jon McClure- lead singer of the band Reverend and the Makers- handle grillings by X26 and E26?
They may only be Year 8s, but they’re the next generation to challenge injustice and support when it’s right to ‘Fight the Power’. As well as curently raising funds to commerorate the Doncaster Suffragettes, they’re working to become young, poetic activists as they write their own verses for their ‘Fight the Power!’ expedition.
For someone who doesn’t like ‘fake news’, Trump and his pal Piers know how to create it…(cue Jon McClure stepping into the ring).
South Yorkshire star Jon, brings his expertise as a song-writer and poet, as well as having a First Class History and Politics degree! Jon has collaborated on lyrics with the Arctic Monkeys, whilst also having written the music for his own band who have had chart success with anthems such as Heavy Weight Champion of the World. From drawing festival crowds and packing out gig venues, to appearing on politics shows and Good Morning Britain, this guy has lots of wisdom to impart on our Year 8s. The man who said “When we see people like yourself fawning over Donald Trump, then we feel the need to stand up and say something,” will hopefully be inspiring our students to do the same.
Jon will be chatting with our students via Google Hangout (we’re sure he will have the same presence and ‘draw the crowds in’, despite Covid restictions) on Monday afternoon (7th December). Good Morning Britain will be quaking in their boots…or booking us for their next debate!
Crew EJN and SHA joined forces on Thursday to watch the stories on this weeks episode of Newsround.
We discussed the following:
It was lovely to spend time together as crews and will look into joining forces again to discuss what is happening in the world.
Well done crew EJN and SHA!
