🌿 Week 1 of 30 Days Wild! 🌿

Our students have been enjoying getting out and about, taking on the daily challenges they've set themselves for the first week! Students enjoyed making a seed bomb, getting out to a local nature reserve and making insect houses. On the first day of the challenge, South Wolds were visited by a duck and her ducklings. Later on in the week a stunning double rainbow was captured. We're so proud of the students enthusiasm and creativity, we can't wait to see what week 2 brings! Here are just a few photos from their wild adventures so far. 📸🍃

Please see below our PE Extra Curricular activities for this half term. These sessions are on from 3:20pm until 4:20pm. We ask that students wear their South Wolds PE Kit and appropriate footwear, and they need to be able to make their own way home after the clubs have finished.

🌿🐞 Our Eco Club is excited to be taking part in 30 Days Wild this June! 🌼🌳

Run by The Wildlife Trusts, the challenge encourages everyone to do one wild thing a day throughout the month; from spotting wildlife and planting flowers to litter picking and spending time outdoors. 🌍💚

We have our 30 days planned and can’t wait to get involved and make a positive difference for nature and our environment! 🌱

If any students would also like to take part, our Eco Club runs every Monday lunchtime in H2. Please speak to Mrs Chambers for more information. 🌿✨

Please see below a list of the upcoming events for this half term for The South Wolds Academy & Sixth Form.

School holidays are a time that young people can feel unsure about how best to keep safe and what to do if they find themselves in a situation they are uncomfortable with. It is important that all children and parents feel safe, that they can enjoy the break and know who to turn to if they have any concerns regarding any welfare issue. Please see the below information should you require any support while school is closed.

May we take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and relaxing break. We look forward to welcoming students back into school on Monday 1st June.

As we enter into warmer weather, it is beneficial for students to carry a bottle of water to help them stay hydrated throughout the school day. We have water fountains available around the school site for students to top up their water bottles, or bottles of water are available to purchase from the canteen at breaktime or lunchtime.
