Year 9 (Grade 8) Interdisciplinary Signature Work Inquiry @ Blanchelande College

[Darryl Toerien Keymaster]

A quick update.

The Year 9 Signature Work Inquiry leads to the GCSE English Language speaking and listening Non-Examined Assessment. Students are currently presenting their 5-minute speech, which is followed by a 5-minute Q&A, and I am very pleased with the quality of their work.

I am also delighted that FOSIL Signature Work Inquiry will be a timetabled subject for Year 9 next year, with an allocation of 1 lesson and 1 homework a week, which I will teach. This will allow me to develop this inquiry even more purposefully.

Meaningful curricular links with English and Geography (sustainable development) remain, and I am developing a meaningful curricular link with Theology in terms of Catholic Social Teaching.

I have produced a brief overview of the inquiry below:

I am now working on a subject overview and description for the Curriculum Information for Lower Seniors booklet, which I will share when done.

I can’t believe the first term is about to end, with so much that I have yet to reflect on.

However, I can quickly share the subject overview and description for the Curriculum Information for Lower Seniors booklet (see below or download as a PDF):
