As we approach the end of term, the sun has been shining and gave the pupils a fantastic opportunity to learn a sport from overseas!
Throwing and catching is an important skill, one that will help the pupils learn co-ordination and the challenges of using their strong and weaker hand. KS3 definitely having fun out there. Those baseball gloves do a great job covering their hands.
One strike and you're out!
Year 10 Health and Fitness NCFE
-To try and give the pupils on the Health and Fitness course in Year 10, we have been dissecting a lambs heart.
-It gives the pupils an opportunity to see the size similarity with the human heart as well as the different parts and how strong the blood vessels and valves are that help keep your heart beating from when it develops in the uterus in early pregnancy
Many of our pupils have been working hard to prepare for their Functional Skills exams this summer. Functional skills are practical, nationally recognised qualifications in England and maths that equip learners with essential skills for everyday life, work and further education. They focus on practical application rather than theoretical knowledge. They are a gateway to college for our pupils on the Engagement Pathway.
Recently, many of our pupils have been focusing on solving the
four operations mentally:
And converting units of measure:
In English we have been identifying subjects and verbs in
order to help punctuate sentences and writing letters or emails as part of
writing assessments.
Through our Personal Development sessions on the Engagement Pathway, we encourage pupils to stay active and broaden their perspectives. Recently, one of our pupils has been exploring the historic churches surrounding Romsey.
Throughout the academic year, a number of Engagement Pathways pupils have been given the opportunity to take part in a Golf session as part of the Personal Development portion of their timetable.
The sessions, which take place at Chilworth Golf Club, give
pupils the chance to learn a new skill while also engaging in a physical
activity that they most likely would not have had the opportunity to
previously.
