Year 7 Photo Gallery

Wednesday 4th March offered Year 7 the chance to mingle with future employers in Worcestershire at the Skills Showcase held at the Chateau Impney, Droitwich. Here, pupils were able to talk to a whole host of professionslas from a range of different employment sectors. Pupils were able to use hand tools to craft things out of wood, control a robot made of Lego, fix an McClaren car as well as get up close and person with a snake! The children's attitudes and enthusiasm was fantastic and they were a real credit to the school. 

This visit was just a part of Westacre's involvement in National Careers Week, with a series of clips being shown during class registration slots and a dedicated lesson to expanding knowledge of careers delivered to all classes in school.

Sharing our Trailers 

This week we have started to put together our David Attenborough inspired trailers using the Clips App.  We have uploaded images and are beginning to add text and accompanying narration. We used screen mirroring to share and discuss strengths and areas of improvement across the class. 

Year 7 Computing

This half term, the year 7 Computing curriculum links to the humanities  topic of Human vs Nature. Students have studied the work of David Attenborough and film trailers to identify a variety of media. They are beginning now to draft storyboards to create a short film, based on a geographical topic, with the style of David Attenborough. Research into volcanoes, plate tectonics and the earths structure is helping them to plan images and text to use.
