To help ensure that learning is creative and imaginative, Year 7 History students have been invited to create a historical scene using an egg as the centrepiece (in a shameless link to Easter!). As such, a range of egg-stremely(!) creative models have been created, ranging from Stone-Age people through to Winston Churchill! It was great to see students getting so creative, and learning in a different way. It was also great to see the range of historical periods being covered. I am sure that the incentive of a chocolatey prize for the best display per class was in no way a motivation!
May I also take this chance to thank parents and carers of Year 7 students for their support with our Skylarks War ‘reading for pleasure’ activity. The book is now being returned to the School Library by students, and we look forward to ways to encourage further a love of reading within our subject as the students head into Year 8 and beyond.
