9W1 in History
Mrs Markham decided to share some of the work 9W1 produced this week...
They have spent two lessons and a homework researching the WW1 trenches. Students had to find out about the following:
-
How a trench was laid out
-
What it was like to live in a trench
-
How British and German trenches were different
-
What weapons were used in trench warfare
-
The advantages and disadvantages of trench warfare
The students worked either on their own or in groups of 2 or 3. We had some spectacular results and below are some photographs of the models that came into school...
Year 8 Assembly
Year 8 had an interesting and interactive assembly on Thursday which focussed on raising achievement. Students looked at the issue of homework and the type of excuses given when it was not completed. They all agreed that it was better to plan to get the work done, as all the excuses had been heard before and homework was intended to support learning. This was followed up by a presentation by the Army Cadet Force.
