English Year 11 – Having Halloween Fun!

This term our Year 11s have been building skills and knowledge to complete their first examination unit, Hobbies.  To support with this work we have been talking about our favourite hobbies and how they help us as well as exploring new hobbies we could try.

All the groups will be having a go at different hobbies, one Year 11 group decided to have some autumnal fun and learn how to carve pumpkins.  Our aim is to then use this learning to write instructions using organisational features, offering clear instructions and helpful advice. This meant they had to think independently but share ideas with the group as they worked, focusing on the equipment needed and the best steps to success.

 

As you can see, it turns out we have some very talented pumpkin carvers!
