SALAD Day

IMG_1070
We had a fantastic Speaking and Listening Activity Development Day today. Year 7 enjoyed learning about blood and organ donation with the science department whilst year 8 got to grips with some key debates in current affairs. Year 9 were exploring world religions and year 10 were learning about sound financial planning including household bills and taxes. Year 11 were absolutely fantastic in today's SALAD Day with the English department. The year group were looking at structured debate and what this looks like in the House of Commons. They then spent time planning a one-sided opinion on the use of mobile phone and considering whether their use should be encouraged or restricted. Pupils then formed political parties and one leader from each side led the debate representing their party's political stance on mobile phones. The way that the leaders adapted and responded to the opposition's views was amazing. Well done to all pupils who participated.
