Year 8, The Stream at Work
Students were hard at work this morning planning a new hotel complex for the Isle of Wight. They were about to present their plans to the rest of the class. One group excelled with this task, working effectively as a team and problem solving their way to a solution:
Aimee, Lauren, Maryam, Claudia and Esme.
Chelsea's Choice
This play and discussion focussed on the relevant and challenging areas of child sexual exploitation. Year 9 students.
This production aimed to raise awareness in sexual
exploitation, grooming, healthy relationships and safe internet use.
Assemblies this Week
The focus has been on making good decisions to avoid having a difficult day! Students were asked to think about what they would like to achieve in a day and the barriers that stopped them attaining their goal. We also explored the idea that some individuals were 'lucky' and realised that so called 'lucky people' were just good at taking the opportunities presented to them, had very high expectations of themselves and were resilient and didn't give up!
Governors
This week governors have attended the Teaching & Learning Committee and a working group to look at the latest government policy changes. Further details will follow as the information becomes available and parents will be kept up-to-date as the governor's strategy is developed.Congratulations!
