I tried and successfully managed to get my Year 8 set 4 to participate and meditate!! I am so impressed that they managed to close their eyes and trust me enough to fully participate, at the end of our lesson around managing emotions in PSHE.

We regularly take risks in DT as we strive to make the pupils independent learners.  We trial new projects and review the impact on the students learning.  Sometimes it doesn't work!

My Business Studies class will be put in teams. They will be given various tasks relating to growing a business using the marketing mix. they will pool their answers but not share them with me or the class until the end of the lesson. The more answers they get right the more 'contracts/clients' their business will win. Who will survive in business?

My year 8 groups are looking at the murders of Jack the Ripper. They will work in 'detective' groups to collect relevant evidence. They must decide which evidence is useful for their enquiry. They will then use this to piece together what happened. The group who is the closest to the real events will win a prize.

The Yr11 set exam topic is TV Gameshows. In order to help the students add flair and creativity to their ideas, I'm teaching a series of lessons in the format of a game show - teams, rounds, timed activities, annoying soundtracks and catchphrases, unexpected twists, mise en scene, prizes! All working towards a proper, good old-fashioned written exam question to improve on mock results.

In PE, we are going to pick a couple of students and during their first lesson explain to them that they will be leading the 2nd lesson for the class later in the week. Teachers will also act as pupils and ask them to come up with the LO's, progress measures, drills and development of lesson. To see if they structure it like we teach them or in their own unique style of delivery.

I will try to have a silent practical lesson. Students will work independently with only their methods and time sheets in front of them. I will not give out any commands to direct or help them when they are unsure. Students will get 5 housepoints if they are succeeding. For any question ask they will loose a housepoint. Miriam
