C28 year 8 Spanish Final Product rolls off the production line!

Last week we took delivery of our C28 year 8 Spanish students’ Final Product. This is a compilation of their sketches of iconic sites in Doncaster – produced by some using the grid method they have practised in art sessions – accompanied by a description of their sketch using Spanish adjectives. Lowri was the first to receive her spiral-bound book, to which she replied: “that’s sick!”

Students were asked for their reactions to becoming accomplished authors:

“It’s cool, innit?” – Danny D
“Slay!” – Sophie
‘i’m in a book!” – Will
¿Vamos a salir? means “Are we going to go out?”. Our Guiding Question was: “dónde nos encontramos?
Will describes Vue Cinema as “large, busy and entertaining” and whilst his original sketch features on the left, his artwork is also reproduced as a watermark on the right. We’ll return to this work next year.
Our booklet also contains a glossary of the places and adjectives chosen by our students

LOOL Students Getting Smart with the Police

Year ten leaders of their own learning students, hosted two expert police visitors in session yesterday. The session was a Q&A style focused on consolidating their knowledge around their exam topic Rights and Responsibilities!

Year ten were thoroughly impressed with the officers who attended and appreciated the stories shared from the Police.

A great session of getting smart for all!
