HUMANITIES
Christian Union,
working with
St Mary’s
Church.
WITHIN Christian Union pupils explore a range of
Christian views and also consider their own outlook
in life. Pupils have had the opportunity to watch
contemporary poetry and consider both the message
and meaning of them. There is also game playing that
includes sweets, doughnuts and jalapenos!
For those who are interested in attending, KS3 Christian
Union is Friday lunchtime in H2, and KS4 Wednesday
lunchtime in H2.
This year Dean Taylor has
taken over Christian Union.
He has worked closely with
pupils across the school as
part of their religious study
of Christianity. He also joined
pupils and staff on the residential
trip to Whitemoor Lakes.
A huge THANK YOU to Dean, Simon
and St Mary’s Church for taking the
Christian Uni on sessions and for all
their hard work with trips and RE
lessons.
Philosophy and Ethics –
First Year done!
This year was the first year we
introduced Philosophy and Ethics GCSE.
The group have worked really hard
setting the standard for the next lot of
GCSE groups to come through. Pupils
22
have been doing extra sessions on
Thursdays after school during in which
we cover certain ethical debates in a
lot more depth and eat some lovely
cakes – courtesy of the baking group!
Spirited Arts
2013
AS PART of the extracurricular
programme in RE, a group of pupils
have been working on the national
‘Spirited Arts’ project. This has involved
pupils creatively interpreting one of
four topics using art and media.
This has included work from Megan,
Steph, Sophie and Abbie making
a wooden shed (with the help of
Mr Paget) interpreting the topic
‘Window to the soul’. Ben, Fraser
and Emma who chose to interpret
the topic ‘Open Minded’ by making
a model head out of ModRock. Not
forgetting Rosella’s digital entry, as
part of which she has filmed Mr King
and Ms Rancins interpreting the topic
‘God, what if?’
Well done to all the pupils who
have taken the time to complete
their entries, and also thank you to
everyone that has supported us during
this project.
