Learning takes many forms and sometimes it is those things we take for granted that create the best response.  Travelling to Hull on the 350 Fastcat was an adventure, finding the correct platform, negotiating a packed bus in Hull and ensuring we were back in time to return to Scunthorpe all developed skills that will make them ready for college or work.

In between they had a wonderful performance of A Christmas Carol at the Hull Truck Theatre.  Key Stage 4 study this for English Literature and we always hope we can visit the play in year 11.  This was a wonderful performance, dark and menacing with light humorous moments.  Scrooge’s tail of redemption was clear and how this will inspire excellence in English Literature over the coming months.
