What are three things you have learned about apprenticeships?

How do you apply for an apprenticeship?

What kind of professions offer apprenticeships?

What are some of the barriers to apprenticeships?

Would you apply for one? Why/why not?

Highfields School

Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural Education

What do you think our SMSC focus is today?

Hint: Look at the images, what do you think they represent?

Rule of Law The Rule of Law is one of our British values.

• Think about what this means to you. Define what it is.

• Now talk about it with your partner. How similar are your definitions?

• Be prepared to feedback your best definition to the form

Highfields School

Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural Education

How close did you get?

• KEYWORDS are highlighted!

• Did you manage to identify any key words from the true definitions? Well done if you did!

What does this mean for me?

The Rule of Law is a ‘two way street’. It affects citizens (us) and the government.

- Citizens- We follow the laws agreed by Parliament - Government. They can not just do anything that they wish. They too must follow the laws established by Parliament

Big Questions: 1. What benefits does the rule of law bring to citizens?

2. What limits does the rule of law place on the government? Is this a good thing or bad thing?

3. What might the country look like without the rule of law?

What is it like when a country doesn’t have the Rule of Law? • North Korea is a dictatorship. It does not have a Parliament.

• Its leader is called Kim Jong Un. • He can do whatever he wants.

• He can arrest people and throw them in prison for literally anything he feels.

• He uses the country’s money to buy expensive cars… whilst millions starve to death.

• North Korea does not have the Rule of Law. There is nothing to protect ordinary people from Kim’s abuse of power.

What is it like when a country doesn’t have the Rule of Law? In the 1800s parts of the USA were lawless. This is because there were not enough police to enforce the Rule of Law. This made the West a very dangerous place to live. Violent crimes, robberies and even murders were common.

Ordinary people were at the mercy of criminal gangs.

How might this apply in school?

• How does the rule of (school) law apply to you as students?

• How does it apply to me as a teacher?

• How far does this make school a better place to be?

WOTW: Practice TPS: Why do we do Word of the Week?

Having a large vocabulary is not just a skill in reading, writing, listening and

speaking, but also in a general knowledge of science, history and the arts.

It makes you a more interesting human!

WOTW: Practice TPS: What do you think this word means?

1. The actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method, as opposed to theories relating to it.

2. The customary, habitual, or expected procedure or way of doing of something.

TPS: What type of word is it? Noun/verb/adjective/adverb etc.

A noun

WOTW: Practice TPS 1: Synonyms and antonyms (what are these?): Synonyms – words with a similar meaning Antonyms – words with the opposite meaning TPS 2: What synonyms can you think of ?

Application, exercise, use, procedure TPS 3: What antonyms can you think of ?

Abstention, refrain

WOTW: Practice In your form time exercise book, write two sentences with the word practice in them: Examples: In practice it doesn’t work.

Approach to Learning This is all about how you are approaching your studies at

Highfields: • Are you taking responsibility for your learning?

• Are you demonstrating resilience in the face of setbacks?

• Are you reflective about your approach to your studies?

How Approach to Learning Works 1 – Outstanding – you are highly likely to achieve your potential 2 – Good – you are likely to make progress and achieve your potential 3 – Requires Improvement – your approach to learning is not there yet,

therefore you are at risk of underachieving 4 – Inadequate – you are likely to underachieve

TPS - What does an outstanding learner look like?

An outstanding Highfields student routinely…

Takes full responsibility for the quality of their books, work, learning, behaviour and the wellbeing of others.

Thrives on challenges, doesn’t give up easily and is determined to improve

Gets actively and enthusiastically involved in all learning Seeks feedback and uses next steps to make big improvements to their work

…and as a result is HIGHLY likely to make great progress and achieve their potential

Students who could be more effective…

May require prompts from others to get on with work, stay on task and meet expectations

Books suggest that often they could take more pride in their classwork and/ or their homework

May choose not to volunteer answers or contribute to activities and instead let others do the thinking Can avoid challenging themselves and may settle for ‘good enough’

…and as a result is putting themselves at risk of underachieving

Responsibility Your Approach to Learning (ATL) grade is your responsibility.

After you have received it, it is over to you to have a learning discussion with your teacher as to how to improve.

“The more you take responsibility for your past and present, the more you are able to create the future you seek.”

Resilience

Reflection – Next Steps You will get an A4 copy of your profile and an A5 review sheet: Task One • On your profile, colour in your ATL grade: • 1 & 2 in green • 3 in yellow/orange • 4 in red

Stick this profile in your form time exercise book!

If you have been given an ATL grade of a 3 or 4 you then need to have a learning conversation with your teachers. Remember this is your responsibility.

Reflection – Next Steps You are now going to monitor your progress towards achieving the Highfields Community Award.

There is a reminder of the criteria on the next slide.

Bronze • Club Participation – Students must regularly attend at least one extracurricular club (music lessons included). This should be across at least 3 school terms.

• School Leadership – Students must be a school ambassador or participate in at least 3 events organised by the ambassadors.

• Classroom success – Attendance 96% or above in 4 terms. Positive rewards score. ATL 2.8 or better. 3 litter picks a year.

Reflection – Next Steps You are now going to fill in your review sheet

Stick this review in your form time exercise books!

Task Two Fill in your; - attendance - total reward points - total consequence points This information is all at the bottom of your profile.

Reflection – Next Steps Task Three You can now work out your Rewards – consequences total.

This must be 0 or above to pass the Bronze level and above 50 to achieve Silver.

E.g. Achievement points = 84 Consequence points = 0 84 – 0 = 84 Task Four Copy your average ATL grade from your profile onto your review sheet.

This needs to be between 1 and 2.8 to pass the Bronze level (and between 1 and 2.4 for Silver)

Reflection – Next Steps Task Five Fill in the wider curriculum clubs you attend. You need to regularly attend a club for a least 3 terms to achieve Bronze (and 4 for Silver).

Task Six Fill in the Student leadership section.

Are you a school ambassador? Events will start to be organised for you to get involved in.

Reflection – Next Steps Task Seven Set yourself a target. These needs to be a SMART target e.g. Attend a wider curriculum club, complete 2 litter picks next half term, improve AtL in Maths.

Avoid vague targets such as ‘do better’ and ‘try harder’.

Are you on track to achieve your Bronze level? If not, why not? What do YOU need to change?
