First World War Centenary Battlefield Tours Programme - UCL Institute of Education

This half term two Polygon pupils travelled to France to take part in the First World War Battlefield Tours Programme.

 

 

 



Pupils were there to answer several key questions, including;

 

- How did the First World War affect ordinary people?

 

- Was the battle of The Somme in 1916 really a disaster for the British Army?

 

- Is remembrance more or less important 100 years on?

Engagement Programme Gym

The engagement centre boys had a brilliant session in the gym this morning. During this term the boys have been learning how to use gym equipment to improve health and fitness though circuit training. We will be able to use some of this practical evidence towards achieving an OCR entry level PE award.

Arts University Bournemouth STEM Challenge

The Arts University in Bournemouth have provided Polygon with some promotional block cards which allow different structures to be constructed.


The STEM challenge set was to construct a tower that is over a metre high and can support its own weight without falling down. Below is Owens attempt at the challenge.

KS4 Maths

The boys have been working hard in Maths today learning how to construct triangles. Fantastic effort by Shaun, Luke and Jack. Keep up the good work! During this lesson you have completed work to the new GCSE levels 3-4!

Fantastic, clear presentation showing all working out.

Today we used a compass to help us draw an arc.

 

After School Clubs

After school clubs are something that most of the boys really enjoy. We are very lucky to have Steve from the Saints Foundation to help run some of the clubs.

Boxing is a firm favourite with the boys!

Basketball is a great team building sport.

Loving the looks of concentration on their faces-well done you 3 this was lovely to see!
