You will be aware your son/​daughter has now com­pleted two home­work projects, both of which have been a huge suc­cess. We would like to take this oppor­tu­nity to thank par­ents and car­ers for tak­ing the time to join us to cel­e­brate the pupils’ work on the ‘Travel’ project. This project style of learn­ing has allowed pupils to be both cre­ative and independent.

We are now look­ing for­ward to pupils pro­duc­ing and pre­sent­ing their final project of year 7, which encour­ages and pro­motes inde­pen­dent learning.

We have delib­er­ately given pupils very lit­tle infor­ma­tion regard­ing the out­come of their project, allow­ing pupils to explore, take risks and per­son­alise their learn­ing. Each pupil will be given a book­let which includes: impor­tant dates and dead­lines, lead­ing ques­tions, assess­ment cri­te­ria and some guid­ance on how to tackle the task. What pupils pro­duce and how they present it will be up to them.

If your child needs any resources or sup­port they must ask their tutor. The LRC will also be avail­able at lunch times and after school.

We thank you for your on-​going sup­port and look for­ward to see­ing many of you on the morn­ing of Mon­day 14th July when we plan to hold another project pre­sen­ta­tion event to cel­e­brate pupils’ work.

Three Year 11 stu­dents, Oliver Boor­man, William Clough­ley and Danny Ken­nard were ‘Tam­pered Evi­dence’! They per­formed four ‘rock’ num­bers and brought the house down at the Win­ter Gar­dens as part of the enter­tain­ment for the Duke of Edin­burgh Award Pre­sen­ta­tion Evening on Thurs­day 28th March.

Spe­cial thanks to Mr Boor­man for all his tech­ni­cal assis­tance on the night with micro­phones and sound sys­tems. It was a great evening and I urge the cur­rent Year 11 D of E stu­dents who suc­cess­fully com­pleted their expe­di­tion sec­tions to get their other sec­tions com­pleted so we can have a smaller event after school one night next term to present their cer­tifi­cates and badges.

On Thurs­day 27 March 2014, a group of year 8 stu­dents joined together from King Ethel­bert and Dane Court Gram­mar School, to do a BBC school report. There were pod­casts, news­pa­pers and live broad­casts all made by us stu­dents. Nicola Wood, Sam Cut­ler Mck­enizie , Ben Mal­lory, Ellie Corn­wall and Reece Grieg all par­tic­i­pated in the live broad­cast a long side other Dane Court pupils. Joe Marsh and Ellie Corn­wall took con­trol of the news­pa­per report and the fin­ished prod­ucts are up on King Ethel­bert, Dane Court and BBC web­sites for every­one else to enjoy. We all had a lot of fun and have all got a lot more con­fi­dence. We never thought that we would end up on the BBC web­site. We were really proud of the fin­ished prod­uct.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

See and hear the broad­casts
