Active Learning

Celebrating La Chandeleur

Our  Year 7 French students celebrated la Chandeleur by making their own crêpes, after school with our French assistant Cyrille Roda and myself. Mrs Vadi very kindly let us use her classroom and helped us make this activity a success. A lot of fun and a sweet reward at the end! 







Year 8 Display Project

Below are some photographs of a Year 8 display project that Mr O'Dell and Mr Lighton's class are currently making. The basis of the project is that a team of students design a room of a house, then the rooms are all put together to form one big house. The blueprints were hand draw by Eve Pascall (8MOD) completely off her own accord, and she has been leading this project in class time. I followed her drawings and cut out the ground floor and the top floor so they would fit together. The aim of this project is to use it as a display for parents evenings/ yr 9 options evening to promote the new Key Stage 4 GCSE Product Design Course and as as a temporary display in the new library. This group have worked very hard on this project and have displayed a very high level of cooperation, communication and ingenuity. Mr O'Dell, Mr Lighton and Mr King have said that they act more like Year 11's than Year 8's, as they are so focused and mature in class.  This group are a credit to themselves and the school.
