After Christmas we worked in conjunction with the Art department who focus on the Fauvist Movement, also known as the post -expressionists!  We, however, concentrated on delivering the skills of the new curriculum and really enjoyed it.  It was a very visual topic and covered much more than you might expect.

Here is the first scheme of work in our project. It focusses on language skills and not on vocabulary.  It is particularly compelling for the new Y7 as we look at the plan of the school, the teachers and their subjects as per Royds not as per the textbook.  Our teachers have enjoyed delivering the scheme in conjunction with the English department and the pupils have given such positive feedback that we were convinced of its success.  When the English department we concentrating on connectives - so were we!  We had many pupils who had produced a piece of work worthy of a level 5+ and many who achieved a level 4.
