Mr Hare, Miss Rook and Miss Scott.

Welcome to Year 10 - Term 3!

We are really pleased to welcome you to Mr Hare's crew page. 

Our crew is called Polaris which is the fixed star in the Northern sky. It symbolises guidance, constancy and direction.

You will find below the information on what we will be studying for each subject in the third term of Year 10. 

The year so far has been a great success for the class. There were many highlights including a trip to the workhouse as part of our study of 'A Christmas Carol' in English. In enrichment pupils decorated our windows with Autumn scenes and have designed and carved their own pumpkins. 

Our crew team is:
 Mr Hare – Crew Teacher
 Miss Rook – Teaching Assistant
 Miss Scott – Teaching Assistant

Together, we support students to feel safe, happy, and ready to achieve their best.

What we are learning this term -

English

Students will be studying Macbeth by William Shakespeare, developing their understanding of character, theme, and plot. Alongside this, functional skills learning will continue to be built into lessons, helping students develop practical reading, writing, and communication skills.

Science

Creative Media

Last term, students filmed their short films, which was fantastic to see. This term, they will be taking the footage they captured and editing and building it into their final films, developing technical skills and creativity.

Cooking

Cooking lessons continue to give students the opportunity to explore practical life skills, creativity, and healthy living.

RSHE

chance to develop social skills, responsibility, and independence. Activities this term
