Year 9 Rugby
9W/PE1 have spent the last 3 weeks learning and progressing their Rugby skills. After their 1st lesson many of the boys were anxious about playing full contact or even getting muddy! Therefore, lots of fun challenges in pairs were introduced so the boys felt comfortable playing Rugby and slowly but surely the class moved onto tackling, rucks and scrums. Mr Martin could not be prouder of the progress and personal journeys the boys have had during this unit and has been his favourite group to have taught Rugby with. Not only had their Rugby improved but more importantly the boys showed an increase in confidence, resilience to overcome their personal challenges, the ability to motivate and collaborate in teams as well as showing a high level of respect and sportsmanship towards each other; many of which are reflected in the England Rugby core values. Well done 9W/PE!
Celebrating Success
At break-time on Friday the maths department celebrated the successes of the year 11 in their mock exams. The 80 students who made the most progress from their year 10 mock to their year 11 mock in the year were invited to come and celebrate with the maths department so we could acknowledge that all their hard work was paying off.
Exploring Peer Pressure in Year 7
In Year 7 Winston Extra lessons we have been exploring peer pressure. We have analysed a Year 7 scenario, questioned why people behaviour the way they do, both with regards to putting peer pressure on others, as well the reasons for giving in to peer pressure. We have deepen our knowledge of this when looking at a study about conforming. We have then discussed different types of peer pressure and the impact this can have. Student were then challenged develop a freeze frame showing bullying and then Break out into a role play explore a situation of peer pressure. To finish the lesson the students worked together to create their classes top tips on dealing with peer pressure.
