C28 Working Hard and Getting Smart in HUMS

9th November 2022Catherine Desborough

C28 have spent several HUMS lessons this week learning about the life of and impact of Malcolm X. We have compared his life and ideas to that of Martin Luther King. Students are really grappling with the complexity of Malcolm X’s ‘Ballot or Bullet’ speech. They have really developed their analysis skills, pulling meaning from the text and considering how and why a range of language techniques have been used. Great work on a very sensitive and complex topic. We are really starting to see what it means to be human!

Working on identifying key stylistic devices
Superb focus and engagement
Some excellent exit tickets showing knowledge and links across the expedition.

Being Human C28

7th November 2022H Cross

In our expedition ‘Being Human’, students are looking at illustrative medical drawings and focussing on proportions. View finders are used and students are recording as much detail as possible. They are doing this by enlarging the section: using both pencil and fine liner. There is some stunning work being produced!

C28 Crew JEL – Making Play-doh

15th December 2021John Elliott

Thanks to Ash, Kate and Milla for planning an excellent crew session with Crew JEL. We had a lot of fun following the recipe making Play-doh. We managed to do it without getting too much Play-doh all over the floor and the students made some interesting objects from it. We all had a great time.
