Art in Year 8
Ms Pinion sent me these images of a selection of classwork from 8WR and 8CG.
We are very proud of the work that they have all created. The students have been studying the work of the artist L.S Lowry, focusing on architecture and perspective.
Year 11 PE
Mrs Smith’s Year 11 girls PE class had an amazing lesson today. The students were given the opportunity to decide if they wanted to focus on Lacrosse or UniHoc. There was one group playing UniHoc games, showing amazing team work, motivation and commitment to the competition.
Another group put their Lacross skills to the test in a small match, focusing on team work, tactical play and passing. A 3rd group who wanted to work more on the challenging skill of passing within Lacross and created a lacrosse squash game. It was great to see this class so engaged in physical activity. Variety is the spice of life!
Year 7 Winston Extra
7CR took to their Winston Extra leadership challenge really well. Focusing on risk taking and doing something outside their comfort zone, the students were allocated pairs, by Mrs Smith. Some of these pairings had never worked together. One student was blind folded while the other played the role of the leader, using only their voice and not physical contact, to guide their partner across obstacles, to an object the other side of the patio. The pairs then swapped over and this time they had to move around the area, picking up cones and then placing them on the cone stand using only voice instructions again.
The students then reflected on their skill of risk taking, including what made them feel uncomfortable and why, or why they felt comfortable with the task. They also demonstrated great ability in key word note taking, when we looked at the different leadership styles...making every minute count.
