Today, we edited and revised our independent writing. We then began to publish our non-chronological reports. Crew Colclough ensured that our handwriting and presentation was to the highest standard. Well done Crew Colclough!

Running for the Arts Festival!
Once again, I’m donning my running shoes, together with my brother Michael, and attempting the challenging Sheffield Half Marathon on the 23 March to raise funds for our upcoming Music and Arts Festival in the summer term.
This year will be the third time we have brought together students from across the Trust to showcase their artistic and musical skills alongside community partners and professional artists. Take a look at the highlights from last year.
To make this happen again we need your support! If you could make a donation, however big or small, we can place music and the arts right at the heart of our mission to make ourselves, our community and our world a better place! And make the third Community Arts and Music Festival the best yet.
Just click the link here to make a donation.
Thank you for your continuing support.

Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover! Crew White Celebrates World Book Day
Today, Crew White celebrated World Book Day with a fun book discovery activity designed to spark curiosity about reading. Students began by silently exploring eight different books placed around the room, judging their first impressions based on the covers. After discussing what caught their attention, students read a selection of blurbs, noted interesting details and questions on post-its, and reconsidered their choices. To finish, we held a lively Book Tournament, where the eight books competed in a class vote until one Crew White Champion Book was crowned — which we’ll now begin reading together in class.
