‘FREEZE!’

Today I shouted ‘FREEZE!’ to everyone in 7 Explorer.

I then asked specific students to ‘unfreeze‘ in order to show the body language of students in the class, whilst others were still seemingly frozen in time.

This helped me to physically show how every single student was totally absorbed in our historical enquiry on sources from Doncaster’s past. Their body language showed a level of intensity that resulted from their determination to move forward in their learning.

As you can see from some of the photos, students were interrogating the details in the historical sources to find clues into how the community of Doncaster benefited from the Railway. I was thoroughly delighted with their focused approached, and by the way in which they can adopt an enquiring mindset to the task in hand.
