Year 7 Emotional Health and Well-Being

New year 7 students began the year thinking about their past, present and future. The aim was to encourage them to think of positive futures for themselves. Here are some of the results:

Last Term...This Term

Last term all students looked at Emotional health and Well-Being. Year 7 created Totem Poles celebrating their past, present and futures. Year 8 made Dream Catchers, carefully designed to capture their goals and dreams for the future. Year 9 students made charm bracelets which represented the things they felt were important.

This term, all students will be looking at Sex and Relationships.

Personal Safety

This term we are looking at personal safety. One important area we will be looking at in key stage 4 is personal safety.

A New Year, A New Term

I hope you all had a great Christmas and have come back to school with lots of enthusiasm for the new year.

Personal Well-Being takes a back seat this term. We will be looking at bullying and peer pressure towards the end of term, but for now the focus is on Economic Well-Being and Citizenship. Check out those sites for more details.

Year 7 Totem Poles

Last half term year 7 were thinking about their past, their present and their futures. They told their stories in the form of Totem Poles.

Year 7

Last half term, year 7 students talked about where they come from and the people who are close to them. It was a way of getting to know each other in their first term at a new school. One project got them to put the people they know into 3 overlapping sets with themselves in the middle. The sets were; our family, our friends, people we work with.

Year 8 positive futures

Last half term, some Year 8 students thought about the things they would like to succeed in. They made themselves a trophy celebrating their future success to help inspire them to learn and work hard.
