As we are now coming to the end of our expedition ‘Are we really free to choose?‘ students have once again being applying their knowledge and practising answering exam questions. It’s been really pleasing to see so many students Working Hard and Getting Smart when attempting source and interpretation questions. Students have really risen to the challenge with these tricky questions! Here are just a few examples of their hard work from this week.
Students have made an excellent start to our new expedition looking at the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany. This week we have examined the problems facing Germany after WW1, specifically the Treaty of Versailles, hyperinflation and the Great Depression. See below for their beautiful books and notes!
Students have been given an image of a propaganda poster from 1932 to annotate with their thoughts on the posters’ message and purpose. This is due next Thursday (7th February) where we will discuss students findings and prepare for an assessment.
The Celebration of Learning for X22 students will be on the 6th and 7th February. Students will be presenting their art work and discussing how they have chosen to represent last term’s guiding question: Who were the Vikings? The evening will begin at 5.30pm with a short introduction by our students followed by an opportunity for parents to view all students’ artwork and speak to students about the process and thinking behind their work.
Skipper students will present their work on Wednesday 6th February and Admiral students on Thursday 7th February.
We look forward to seeing you.
This week, students will be revising for the retake of their mock speaking exam next Tuesday 3rd, or 10th July. Those students not re – taking are to revise the media and technology topic, creating revision resources. Some examples are a mind map, flashcards, recorded notes. This revision resource is to be shown in class on Monday 9th July. Any problems, please see Mrs Sprakes.
Students are pairing up to prepare to teach their class a topic of their choice. Students will teach this at the start of sessions on Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th June, a short segment of no more than 5 minutes.
This week students are to revise the holiday topic, ready to write a translation task at the start of their session on Monday. They can use their old exercise books, the textbook or espanolextra for this. Any problems, please see Mrs Sprakes.
Students are to research a a typical dish from a Central or South American country for Tuesday 12th June. This can be a googdoc, and shared. Include when the dish is eaten, where it comes from and ingredients. Any problems, please see Mrs Sprakes.
A polite reminder that ALL C21 and C22 students have the ongoing compulsory extended study task of completing 10 minutes of daily quizzing on Tassomai. This must be kept up throughout the half term and beyond if it is to have to impact on student’s recall of key science information.
Please remind your sons and daughters of the need to keep this up!
Thanks again for the continued support.
