The-Rushcliffe-Super-Curriculum Compressed-1 WHAT IS THE SUPER CURRICULUM? Super curricular activities are those that take your regular curriculum further. They take the subject you study in the classroom beyond that which your teacher has taught you or what you’ve done for homework. On this app, there are a range of activities, suggested by teachers for you to stretch yourself and explore your subjects. IMPORTANCE OF SUPER CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES • To do well at A Level, it is important to have a) enthusiasm and curiosity for your subject and b) the capacity for independent study. • Super-curricular activities can help you: • Choose a subject to study. • Provide evidence on a personal statement or for an interview. • Develop important skills. THE SUPER CURRICULAR HOUR By just adding in an hour a week of super curricular activities, you could be enhancing your grades and opening more opportunities for your future simply by broadening your understanding of a particular subject area. The following gives you an example of how you might wish to break down that hour of Super Curricular. Mr M Young Head of Social Sciences ENGAGING, RELFECTING AND SHARING IN THE SUPER CURRICULUM By engaging, reflecting and sharing in the super curriculum, your will gain so much, not just more knowledge, but also a different way of viewing the world and sharing it! Go ahead and read/watch/listen etc the entire source. But don’t just read for the sake of it. Be intentional about it. Do your best to understand where the author is coming from and what points he/she is trying to get across. There should be at least one bit of new information in the content you are going to examine in this app. This might be new research, a fresh perspective, or an original approach. It may be something you don’t fully understand, especially if the topic is foreign to you. To analyse this source properly, you need to dig deeper. Research the authority of the author, the claims they’re making, and any words or content you don’t understand. The idea is to be able to fully comprehend the content contained in the source. If you don’t you won’t be able to analyse it. After engaging with the source you should be able to summarise the main points of the piece in your own words. If you can’t, go back and re-examine the source. You now need to critically think about what you have just examined, you might ask yourself the following questions; What do you think of the source you just engaged with and summarised? Was it well-written? Was the information presented in a clear and compelling way? More importantly, do you agree with the conclusions the author drew? Why or why not? After you’ve acquired new information, filtered it through your individual lens–the way you see the world and the people in it–and formed your own opinion on the topic, you can then implement your new knowledge. Write about it, bring it into lessons, essays where appropriate, talk to your mates and teachers about it and find more contrasting and comparable sources to see if your opinions, and critical reflections might change. “The menu of the Rushcliffe School Super Curriculum is excellent. Students should make the most of it. It lists in one place many resources that would prepare a student to any university’s degree” Gianni De Fraja, Professor of Economics, University of Nottingham "I think this is a great development and provides valuable opportunities for students to immerse themselves in the discussion and application of their subjects”.

  • Spanish Films and Series on NETFLIX
    Spanish Films and Series on NETFLIX Watching a Spanish film or programme on Netflix is a great way of learning a language as you can be immersed in the language while familiarising yourself with Hispanic and Latino culture and customs. ​ ​ Language learning should always be fun, as enjoyment plays a big role in keeping you motivated. So, why don’t you watch a few of the films on this list and make your learning entertaining! Features on Netflix for Language Learning Subtitles: There are different options available on Netflix depending on your level. You can watch Spanish films or programmes with English subtitles first, and then watch them again with Spanish subtitles. When you’re more confident, you can watch films without subtitles altogether. Audio description: ​ Another great feature on Netflix for learning Spanish is the audio description feature, which exists for ​ some but not all shows. This feature allows you to hear what you see, in Spanish, which improves ​ ​ comprehension and also boosts your vocabulary. It is an intense but fruitful way to immerse yourself ​ in a language. ​ Films on Netflix Date I What I thought of it… watched it 1 Roma 2 Holy Camp (La Llamada) 3 Like water for chocolate (Como agaua para chocolate) 4 Spanish Affair 2 (Ocho Apellidos Catalanes) 5 The Invisible Guest (Contratiempo) 6 The Fury of an Innocent man (Tarde para la Ira) 7 Zipe & Zape y la Isla del capitán 8 Smoke and Mirrors (El hombre de las mil caras) 9 100 metres (100 metros) 10 Palmtrees in the snow (Palmeras en la nieve) 11 Holy Goalie 12 Thi Mai 1) Roma (2hrs 14 mins ) ​ Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón delivers a vivid, emotional portrait of a domestic worker’s journey set against domestic and political turmoil in 1970’s Mexico.

  • Stephens Plays: 2: One Minute; Country Music; Motortown; Harper
    Simon Stephens Plays: 2 One Minute, Country Music Motortown, Pornography, Sea Wall One Minute: ‘Set in London in the aftermath of the disappearance of an eleven-year-old girl, One Minute brings together the girl’s mother, an unreliable witness, a student/barmaid and two investigating officers . the writing cleverly suggests how much the characters would like to connect but never really can.’ Guardian Country Music ‘spotlights four fateful moments in the life of Jamie Carris, an engaging but violent south Londoner. The play unfolds in a series of tightly focused two-handers, set before, during and after the prison sentences he has served for glassing one man and for killing another.’ Independent Motortown: ‘Danny – a squaddie who has served in Basra – is bringing the war back home [to] an England where the “war on terror” has become a war waged using the tactics of the terrorists. It is also a place of dubious moralities, small-time arms dealers and middle-class swingers and anti-war protesters. A searingly honest play written with a deadly coiled energy.’ Guardian Pornography: ‘Set in July 2005, between the announcement that London had been awarded the Olympics and the July 7 bombings, it tells seven entwining stories, including the imagined story of one of the bombers journeying towards London to commit an act of terrorism.’ Guardian Sea Wall: ‘A quietly gripping monologue about grief and belief . this play is like a deceptive calm blue sea beneath which lurks a ferocious riptide of sorrow.’ Guardian Simon Stephens is a British writer whose theatrical career began in the literary department of the Royal Court Theatre where he ran its Young Writers’ Programme.

Blood runs down her legs Sand the scent of charred meat lingers on her flesh. It hurts to walk but she staggers home to parents that don’t seem to notice. They can’t keep their hands off each other and, besides, they have a new infant, sweet and wobbly as a jelly baby. Peach must patch herself up alone so she can go to college and see her boyfriend, Green. But sleeping is hard when she is haunted by the gaping memory of a mouth, and working is hard when burning sausage fat fills her nostrils, and eating is impossible when her stomach is swollen tight as a drum.
