Year 9 learners have been looking at the written form of newspapers. They have explored the differences between tabloids and broadsheets and considered the effects of bias on reporting. Our learners are now creating their own writing community and they are going to produce their own newspaper. Our classroom is going to be transformed into a newsroom as the learners attempt to negotiate and appreciate their complex and often messy differences.

Humanities
In Year 9 humanities we are engaged in a fantastic unit of history focused on the Olympics. We are looking at a variety of key historical events throughout the Modern Olympics which are based around the key themes of racism, religion, war and drugs. We are looking at the question- Can sport offer a sense of belonging in negotiating and appreciating complex and often messy differences?
This week we have analysed a variety of religiously motivated events such as Eric Liddell refusing to run in the 100m heats of the 1924 Paris Olympics due to them taking place on a Sunday. We also looked at Harold Abrahams and his motivation from anti-semitic discrimination. We are currently analysing the causes for the 1972 Munich massacre and the subsequent consequences. Through these case studies our evaluations have focused on whether sport and politics should be/can be separate. Does the Olympic sporting community prevail through the racism, religious conflict, drugs controversy and numerous wars? Learners will continue to interpret and evaluate sources of evidence and identify causes for a consequences of historical events.
