  • Peer Observations - Food Tech

    Published 16/01/23

    Students have been observing their peers in practical lessons to offer guidance and support on what they do. This also helps our EAL students learn new terminology while observing what their peers are saying and linking this to food and equipment. They give positive and constructive feedback which helps them understand how they can manage their time better. Students can then become more aware of what tasks they should do first to manage their time. The students will also become even more familiar with the possibilities of cross contamination, along with Health and Safety. Every student gets to be an observer, which also supports improving their reading and writing skills in their food lessons.

    Year 11 students at Hewens and De Salis Colleges enjoyed a two- hour long show of A Christmas Carol, the world-famous Charles Dickens novel, which also forms part of the English curriculum taught at The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust.

  • Martial Art

    Published 18/11/22

    Lunchtimes at Hewens Library is a buzzing centre for clubs and extracurricular activities! Recently, we launched our self-defence club for Key Stage 4 girls, which runs every Tuesday at break and lunch times. The club is led by our Librarian, Miss Kabir, who is trained in Karate, Boxing, and Mixed Martial Arts. Our amazing co-instructor and student, Charmaine Harris, trains extensively in Jiu Jitsu. Both instructors are trained Martial Artists, with plenty of knowledge and skills to share. The purpose of our class is to teach Martial Arts on two levels: firstly, for students to develop a psychological and philosophical understanding of tenets of discipline, respect and self-control. With these principles in mind, the girls are simultaneously learning the physical and practical skills of blocking and evading attacks, grappling and counter-attacking. The latter techniques are always used as a last resort and the classes are designed to help the girls outmanoeuvre and fight off bigger and stronger attackers in the outside world. The girls have joined the class to learn how to defend themselves, while doing so in a safe and controlled environment. If your child is interested in joining the class, please direct them to Miss Kabir, who will provide them with more information.

  • Marvellous Motifs at Hewens

    Published 11/11/22

    This term, Year 7 have been working on a textiles project with a focus on designs from a wide range of cultures. Many countries around the world are known for their traditional textiles with designs unique to their nations of origin. Inspired by this, and in particular, Aztec and Japanese patterns, students created their own bespoke deigns with their observations leading to beautiful batik and embroidery samples, adopting the technique of repeating an element or motif in order to create unique decorative pieces that would be practical, yet enjoyed for artistic value. Throughout this preliminary activity, students were influenced by cultural aesthetic representative of various nations, which gave direction to their final design. They were then introduced to the sewing machine which they will be using in the forthcoming lessons where they will construct a drawstring bag and decorate it with prominent qualities using a variety of textile techniques.
