Quote of the month
“In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below”
John McCrae 11/11/06

CROSS CURRICULAR DAY (March 6th 2009)
The next Cross Curricular day is being planned at the moment and a variety of workshops and visits will be offered to students, some of which have been so popular in the past, that they will be used again e.g East Barnby, bike ride, table tennis, beauty and skin care, food workshop, hip-hop street dancing, craft workshop,'play in a day' and body combat. New ones could include 'Doodlepots', a visit to R.A.F Linton - on - Ouse and African Drumming. One thing is for sure, if the past Cross Curricular days are any thing to go by it will be another enjoyable and successfull day. |
