Our GCSE Geographers set off on their first fieldtrip of the course to Leeds this week. Mrs. Gomersal reports, ‘The purpose of the trip was to investigate inequalities in housing across Leeds. Tasked with the job of collecting primary data in the form of bi-polar surveys, field sketches and car surveys, come heavy rain or glorious sunshine, all students showed huge motivation and resilience to get the job done! Well done Geographers, a fabulous start to the course. Roll on October when we visit Hornsea.’
With the Summer break only a week away, assemblies this week have focused on Summer safety with Mrs. Godsell-Wright talking with students about how to look after themselves over the Summer break and the importance of keeping active and connected with friends and family. She also focused on how to remain safe online and reminded students of how they can stay safe around water.
On Tuesday evening we experienced an excellent Music concert with performances of an eclectic mix of pieces from Oasis to ELO. Along with soloists Charlotte, Rosey, James, Austin, Larissa and Ruby, the Pop Choir and Keyboard club entertained the audience of parents, carers, staff, governors and students. Technical aspects were taken care of by James and Antonio resulting in an all-round excellent evening!
Some of our students have been away on a military service children residential at Hartington Hall. Last night, Mrs. Murphy reported that ’Everyone has had a really good first day, climbing, abseiling, scrambling and squeezing themselves through gaps in rocks.’ We’ll look forward to hearing what they got up to today.
Staff and students have enjoyed the Great Yorkshire Show today as a reward for their hard work throughout the year. The smiles and conversation as students got off the coaches clearly demonstrated that the trip has been a successful one!
Next week we have Sports Day to look forward to on Tuesday and a reminder that we finish for the Summer break at 1.30p.m. on Friday 19th July.
Have a lovely weekend!
