Ian also constructs large sculptures using recycled materials. During the two challenge days you‟ll be designing and constructing a large scale sculpture using the same methods and materials as Ian. You‟ll be working together on a collaborative art piece that will be displayed in the Academy. After the challenge days, I‟m sure Ian will be very excited to come back to de Ferrers for you to personally unveil the finished article! In School 7, 8, 9 & 10 2 days Free None

Miss Wood
Plenty of opportunities to practise – story telling, stand up, sketches, singing or simply delivering a famous speech. For those who particularly enjoy the limelight there will be an opportunity to showcase your improved communication skills through the medium of karaoke. Whether you are talking to one person or performing in public to a crowd, your message can only be heard if you can communicate. The aim is to improve confidence for interviews, in debating, public speaking or public performances. In School 10 only 2 days Free None 20 Mr Grady
