C30 You Give Me Fever English Update

C30 are full engaged in their health focused expedition ‘You Give Me Fever’ ahead of their fieldwork to the Thackray Museum of Medicine tomorrow.

It has been wonderful for the English team to see their engagement and progress as we continue with this expedition. They are working hard to build their skills as they edge ever closer to KS4.

In this expedition we are pushing the students to increase their writing resilience. We are empowering them to trust in their own abilities and ideas by removing scaffolds for creative and extended writing tasks.

They are embedding their language analysis skills, developing their understanding of character arcs and complex plot lines whilst grappling with the big moral issues of our anchor text.

It has been amazing to see the connections being made through our anchor text to the evolution of people’s health through time and the biology being studied in science.

Hopefully, all of their parents and carers will be able to see the results of this incredible work at their POL later this half term!

Keep up the good work guys.

Mrs Desborough and all of Team English

Crew Sinfield- Passage presentations

Crew Sinfield worked really hard last term prepping and presenting their passage presentations. They have shown fantastic courage to present their work in front of a panel which included parents/careers, experts and staff members. It was clear to see how hard students had worked reflecting on their last few years of school and the aspirations they have for their futures.

I was really proud of all their hard work and I’m really excited to see what they achieve over the next few years!!

Well done crew Sinfield- brilliant work!!
