The wonderfully imaginative 7C1 have been creating mythical creatures as home learning for their Harry Potter module. They've created such beautiful drawings, models and descriptions!
As there are still students signing up, I am extending the deadline for silver DofE to Friday 19th November. This is open to all year 10 and 11 students regardless of whether you completed bronze.
A reminder that the deadline for current year 9s to return their DofE enrolment slips to me is tomorrow. Those who have already signed up and paid - you can be thinking about what your activities might be: https://t.co/R0WzOZKJMO
All groups are home safe and sound! Thanks to all the wonderful students for your resilience and positive attitudes. And a huge thank you to the brilliant teachers who volunteered their time and talents to make sure these young people got the most out of their experience.
I love DofE! I get to see our students being the brilliant human beings that they are. Today's weather was the worst I've had on expedition and the grit, teamwork and cheerfulness of this lot has been astounding 👏
A reminder for Bronze DofE students that we will meet briefly straight after school today in the D block foyer to divvy out tents, camp stoves and other equipment⛺️
The next navigation session for bronze DofE is on Tuesday straight after school in D71. Please bring your consent forms if you haven't already handed them in. Practice expedition is Saturday!
It was a pleasure to meet so many potential students and their parents this evening. The sensory writing proved very popular! Must have been something to do with the sweets they were given to write about 🍬
Year 10 bronze DofE students - your navigation training sessions start on Tuesday at 3.15 in D71. You are all expected to attend to prepare you for your expedition so please come and speak to me if you can't make it🧭🗺️
Our Open Evening is on Thursday 23rd September between 6.30pm and 8.30pm
You can also book a tour for one of our open days on September 28th and 29th. 🦁😀
Thanks to those of you who donated! I walked 102km over the weekend in all weather and am very happy that it's the summer hols so I can recover on my sofa this week! So far, I've reached 80% of my funding target for Samaritans: https://t.co/uTCYc7Ouvs
