For the second half of the year at Step Up, we won't have a different theme every week - we'll be running lots of continuous projects! Numeracy - today in numeracy, our project was about all different kinds of charts and graphs. Beginning with pie charts, we investigated some data about people's favourite things, shoe sizes, and masses. Students did a great job of inputting all of this data into pie charts! Mid-session, we went outside to collect some more data from ourselves, by running for a set time then measuring changes in heart rate. Literacy - dystopian society and fiction is our new focus. Miss Williamson introduced the topic with some exciting activities. First of all, we brainstormed as a class some features of dystopian societies, using our knowledge from popular books and films. After watching an intense trailer for one dystopian film, students worked independently on a writing task - a letter to a friend or family member, to describe a society they'd just woken up in. Some brave students read out their fantastic, creative letters to the class. Creativity - continuing the first aid course we began last Saturday, we moved on to learning CPR today! Students began the session by recapping their knowledge of last week's topic, the recovery position, by practising it again on their partners. After we proved we knew the recovery position, we brought out medical dummies to learn CPR on. This was a really important lesson, and students worked really hard to make sure they knew how to perform it, by doing some very focused practising. See below for some highlights:
