Celebration of the Epiphanie in Year 10 French

# data[].attributes.body
Year 10 French students studied a French authentic text about the celebration of the Epiphanie in France which takes place every year on 6th January.

On that day, French people eat a brioche or a 'galette des rois' (a pastry filled with almonds). Inside the cake, a small lucky charm called 'une fève' made out of porcelain is hidden. The person who finds the lucky charm in their slice of cake becomes the King or Queen. Students really enjoyed the reading activity... as well as eating the cake obviously!

Match Report - Maltings vs Philip Morant

# data[].attributes.body
On the 14 October Maltings Academy welcomed Philip Morant to the exhilarating first round of the Essex cup. All of a sudden the ball is played into the midfield and shifted across to Kieran P who was ready to unleash an audacious strike into the top left corner of the net making it 2-0 to Maltings. The second half got under way and Philip Morant finally broke through Maltings defence and got 1 goal back to make it 2-1. The last 6 minutes went past rapidly, although no goal was scored, taking the game to penalties.
Maltings first 3 penalties were successful;

and Cole E, Maltings 5th penalty taker, scored making Maltings victorious!

Year 10 have been revising 'Romeo and Juliet' this half term, with a focus on how characters and themes are presented. They worked in small groups to create presentations on a theme or character and turn the rest of the class into experts. The creativity and inventive approaches they had (including role plays, game show quiz questions and audience interaction) has really helped them understand the play in the detail needed. Well done year 10!

With lockdowns (hopefully) behind us, and government guidance allowing more flexibility within the classroom, we are fully embracing the opportunities to reacquaint ourselves with active learning once again.

Whilst we still want to embrace the lessons that we learnt throughout this period, we also need to revisit the engaging and inspiring practices that were present across the academy prior to the start of the pandemic.

In doing so we have had a combination of 'No Slides Days' and 'No Slides Periods'. We want to encourage creativity from our teachers, whilst also encouraging risk taking, not being afraid to go 'off plan' when we find our students have interests, misconceptions or would like to engage in discussion.

Feedback from staff and students has been positive. Walking round the academy over the last two weeks has been wonderful. The classrooms are filled once again with the noise of discussions, questions and purpose.
