MEADOWHEAD’’S FIRST SILVER EXPEDITION
(26-28th JUNE)
Our first Silver group ‘The Silver Pioneers’
successfully completed their practice expedition of
3 days walking, whilst carrying everything they
needed for the 2 overnight camps. This was an
average of 14km per day! They did it all again for
the qualifier on 10-12th July - congratulations girls
and very well done for completing this very tough
expedition!
Our Erasmus+ programme for boosting skills and employability for young Erasmus+
people across Europe continued this summer term with German and Spanish
students visiting Sheffield and trips abroad for Meadowhead students.
In April, a group of 4 of our Y12 & Y13 students who are currently studying AS and A2 Spanish visited
Zaragoza, North-East Spain for their work experience in two local primary schools and worked with
students between the ages of 4 and 9 years old for 8 days, staying with their work experience partners.
On the 2nd May 9 of our Y10 students lived with exchange partners for a
week in Slovenia and attended a vocational/technical secondary school
in the capital, Ljubljana. Students from all 4 project countries compared
their Careers Education and our students then worked together to
produce designs for a Mobile App which Meadowhead School is going
to create.
In July, 7 of our Y10 and Y13 students went to Koblenz, Germany and
spent 5 days work experience in a variety of German businesses while
staying with their host partners.
