CLASS S6
Welcome to S6
This year staff are: Miss Cant, Mrs Roney, Ms Stocks-Moore, Mrs Ellis (Tues-Fri) and Mrs Greatorex/Miss Jarrett (Monday).
In S6 we are a group of Year 10-11 pupils. We will be looking at Employability in depth this year and improving skills that can be transferred from Curriculum lessons to life outside school. We have different class jobs throughout the year and have the opportunity in Year 11 to do some creative work experience.
We have lessons with Mr Gauden for PE and some opportunities to work towards Duke of Edinburgh, ready for Sixth Form in the coming years.
We will be working towards Functional Skills Entry Levels in English, Maths and Science, and additional AQA Unit Awards to send pupils to Sixth Form or college with the best Qualifications they can achieve. Home learning will be suggested on a regular basis to consolidate and build on ideas learned in class.
Until then, students can log on to many different websites to practise skills already learnt. These include…
Mathletics – A maths website with interactive activities and a world-wide calculation challenge. New activities are set based on what area the pupils are focussing on in mathematics and these will automatically load up so that they are completed before accessing other areas of the website. Account login details can be taken home by pupils.
BKSB – Lessons and activities for Entry Level Maths, English and Computing skills. Account login details can be taken home by pupils.
Epic Books – Access to various books to practice reading fluency and skills. Account login details can be taken home by pupils.
