  • PE Newsletter 4
    Issue No. 4 Term: Winter Welcome to our fourth PE and sports newsletter. Always a busy term with extra-curricular fixtures and tournaments but there has also been a lot of students achieving some fantastic results outside of school too. A great start to the year… Our Year 7 girls at their first Hockey Tournament in November 2019. Just one of the many extra-curricular opportunities available to our students. District Cross-Country: Once again we entered our quickest students to represent Soham Village College at the district cross-country race held at Netherhall school, again this year it was a cold and muddy morning, but all our students took part to the best of their ability and did extremely well. Our Year 10 and 11 students ran first, setting a great example for our younger students. Will Trangmar came an impressive 9th out of 150 students. Our Year 7s were really excited to run their 2500m course and were more nervous about taking a wrong turn yet despite this we had Henry Crawford finish 22nd and Finley Jones finish in 27th place from a group of nearly 200. Jacob Trangmar also finished in 7th position, Ewan Taylor finished in 20th position and Elena Fraser managed an astounding 5th position. All of these students have now been selected to represent Cambridge Schools in the county cross-country being held in January 2020. Mrs LeRoy, who managed the team, said that she was “really proud of everyone that took part, they represented our school with pride and performed incredibly well.” A very well done to all students that were selected and best of luck to our students in the county championships in January.

  • Fostering Collaborative Interpretation of Poetry in English
    CHAPTER 4 CASE STUDY THREE: FOSTERING COLLABORATIVE INTERPRETATION OF POETRY IN ENGLISH Sara Hennessy with Jackie Bullock INTRODUCTION This case study illustrates how we worked with an expert secondary teacher who used interactive whiteboard (IWB) technology to foster construction of collective interpretations of poetry with an “anti-social” theme. As in the previous case study, we report how our collaborative thematic analysis of digital video recordings and other data from a sequence of six lessons yielded detailed, theorised descriptions of the teacher’s own rationale. Beginning with brief introductions to the participants in this case study, we outline the lesson sequence and present the key themes and pedagogical strategies emerging. We exemplify our discussions during the video review process and summarise the intermediate theoretical framework developed. Further details about the participants and the lessons observed in this case study, plus video clips and other material illustrating the themes emerging and uses of technology, are available in the English multimedia resource freely accessible at http://t-media.educ.cam.ac.uk/. PARTICIPANTS Jackie, English Teacher Jackie Bullock had taught for 10 years at the time of the study, the last 8 of them at Soham Village College, where she was Head of Year and responsible for developing technology within English. Her main area of interest was using technology interactively and she specialised in drama. Jackie had undergone both in-house and external training in IWB and technology use in the classroom, and she had substantial experience in using a range of software together with data projectors and digital cameras in teaching.

  • CASE STUDY (Cambridgeshire)
    MAINSTREAM SCHOOL TRANSPORT: CASE STUDY (Cambridgeshire) 1. Developing proposals 1.1. Mainstream school transport is the Council’s biggest single passenger transport spend, with an annual budget of just under £10m. Securing even a 10% reduction in spending in this area would therefore generate a significant saving. 1.2. Two general ways in which a saving could be delivered were identified, as set out below. • Each September the secondary school bus networks are adjusted to reflect year 11 pupils leaving and year 7 pupils starting. There isn’t sufficient time to conduct a “blank page” review of the networks, however, meaning that efficiency can be gradually lost over time. • The Council has previously allocated one seat per eligible pupil, based on the assumption that 100% of pupils travel each day. No data has been available to support or challenge this. 1.3. Given the previous two points, we proposed investing in staff time to review networks in the pilot area from scratch, and to base these on the assumption that not all pupils travel every day, therefore allowing more passengers to be allocated to each route (e.g. 75 pupils on a contract for 70 seats). 1.4. In order to mitigate the risk of there being insufficient space for pupils on any given bus, it was proposed to replace standard printed tickets with smartcards. Pupils would touch in on boarding, in a similar way to Oyster in London or a contactless payment card. The readers fitted to each vehicle would record and transmit the number of pupils travelling on each trip, providing data that would allow trends and potential overloads to be identified.
