On the 20th of February Cambridge School had an English Day. The theme of English Day was “Self-Expression” and exploring expression and self through different media, such as writing, listening, discussing, moving, and creating. Self-expression enables students to articulate and express their cultural identities, beliefs, values, and experiences.
There were four Workshops going around school, and the students did many different activities all about expressing and exploring yourself. Farah Class did great in a lesson called “My Voice” where they explored dialects, sociolects, and idiolects. It was great fun seeing them have a closer look on how they speak and why, and exploring the difference in the way they speak and write! Bevan Class did really well in a lesson about “Music & Poetry”, and made great observations about lyrics and what they mean. Their work was neat, the students were engaged and it was a joy to see!
Another fun thing to see was Oliwia and Franciscka’s, our Learning Mentors, Workshop focusing on self-expression through journaling. The students had fun exploring diary as a medium to self-regulate, be mindful, and share experiences.
It was great seeing all of Cambridge engaged in the same theme, excited to show their work and exploring their own opinions, voice and identity.
The students also took part in a Reading Race. Here are the winners:
- Franklin – £25 voucher for the Bookfair!
- Armstrong – A range of books!
- Einstein – Set of Phonics books.
Congratulations to the winners! Great job.
