E-Safety Project

30th October 2023Website Admin

Our project focused on the importance of being safe on the internet and making people aware of different dangers that appear online. Our main focus for this project was creating an E-safety online course for both students and adults to educate themselves on digital literacy. The students also made two different types of newspaper articles that featured different E-safety issues. Students made the course fun and interactive by adding interviews, videos and quizzes.

Teacher’s Reflections

“This project was motivating, relevant and catered to students interests. Students collaborated well to make the course look visually appealing and enjoyed making different quizzes to assess learners knowledge. It was great to see students using their own knowledge and experiences as well as having debates about different topics. Time management was much better in this project but it may have been helpful for the students to see how long the course took to complete. On exhibition day, there were too many modules to get through in the allocated time. Nonetheless, exhibition day was a success and it was lovely to see students engaged and retaining information.”

Saving The Animals Project

13th June 2023Website Admin

This term, Gevurah’s project focused on the issue of animal cruelty and ways to combat it. They asked themselves, “How can we increase awareness about animal cruelty?” and conducted extensive research on the mistreatment of animals, including sea creatures and how they are impacted by water pollution. As a final product, they presented their findings in a symposium on animal cruelty for their classmates. The project spanned across multiple subjects including English, PSHE, DT, and Science. Throughout the term, students engaged in various activities such as creating written narratives about animals, presenting on cruelty towards sea life, designing leaflets with tips for the public to help prevent animal cruelty. Additionally, their PSHE lessons focused on community and careers, where they explored different animal-related professions and emphasised the importance of community involvement in animal welfare. In Science, students learned about ecological relationships and how they contribute to animal protection. The class even had their own aquarium to learn about proper animal care. Lastly, within DT, students learned about branding and how it can be used to raise awareness and funds for a cause. Using graphic design software called Canva, they created banners to promote a charity that they established to combat animal cruelty.

Teacher’s Reflections

Overall, this project was a success, our students were fully captivated by the topic and excited to expand on their knowledge. High points of the project included our trip to Champions Wharf Play Beach, where our students demonstrated their social action skills by handing out leaflets informing the general public about ocean pollution and helping to clear the local area of dangerous rubbish that could harm the local wildlife. If I could think of one improvement for this project, I think it would have been even more effective to have been able to explore our local habitats in science more but with the weather so cold, all the organisms had started to hibernate or take shelter. I am so proud of what Gevurah has managed to accomplish with their analysis of Animal Farm, working hard to develop their skills and writing ‘Point evidence explanation’ paragraphs.
