The Conversation

What’s the big idea?

‘The Conversation’ is a club that will allow you to explore the issues that matter to you, as an individual, a community or as part of our wider society. Every week we will choose an area to discuss – issues, news or cultural topics that affect us all. We will then have a fairly free conversation where we can express our views in a open and non-judgemental place. This isn’t a debate club! (There is one of those on offer elsewhere). This is a place where we can form our own ideas, challenge each other and try to build a better understanding of important issues. We will meet of Friday Lunchtime in E1.

Debate Club!

H9 Friday lunchtime

Don’t pass up on the opportunity to have fun arguing and debating intriguing topics. Bring a friend and a topic you would like to argue!

UNCRC Article 17:

Setting up or joining groups

Today’s VoteTopic:

Should UK football clubs be fan-owned?

UN SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals

VfS Key Theme 6: Community & charity

1 What makes a good fan?

Pair activity (1-2 mins)

What is a fan? In pairs, come up with a definition.

Fan: Someone who supports a person or group, and wants them to do well.

2 Why are we talking about this?

Over the course of a season, passions run high. There are winners and losers. Lots of people spend their weekends on the edge of their seats.

Of course, club football is also a lucrative business. There are billionaire owners who invest large sums of money in stadiums, teams and training facilities.

Some clubs are fan-owned. Exeter City in England and Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) in Scotland are the largest fan-owned clubs.

Recently, there have been lots of discussions about celebrities owning football clubs, such as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who now own Wrexham A.F.C. in Wales.

Lucrative: Producing a lot of money (especially businesses, jobs, or other activities).

Why are we talking about this?

Billionaire and celebrity owners have added more money to the game. However, there are many teams in Europe, and some in the UK, that are owned by fans. “Should UK football clubs be fan-owned?” Let’s find out.

Whole class activity (6-8 mins)

Let’s find out what a fan-owned club looks like. Over the next few slides, fill in the gaps with the options provided.

3 Fan-tastic

3 Fan-tastic

Members of a club hold 50 percent, plus one more vote, of voting rights in the football club. It means that fans have the final say in how their club is run and not by an outside influence or private/commercial investors.

I think we should change the colour of the kit. We get in this Italian designer and... BOOM we’ve got the hottest shirt in the football league.

Well, we’ve had our blue and green kit for the last 100 years. The fans won’t like it. But we’ll put it to a company vote. Remember, you’re going to need to convince more than 50% of the company board. Oh, and don’t forget they are fans too.

3 Fan-tastic

Alright, hear me out. He’s got one year left on his contract, and it’ll be amazing to see him end his career here. Can you imagine the press we’re going to get?

His wages are so high. We can’t overspend this summer. We can’t lose money over silly gimmicks!

Fan-owned clubs must be run sustainably. That means not spending lots of money or taking out loans to buy expensive players.

3 Fan-tastic

Blimey, the profits for this year are huge. I need my kitchen refitting so… Am I right guys?

All profits are to be put back into the club. We’ve got a new training facility to pay for.

Profits must be spent to improve and better the club. It means that private investors and shareholders cannot take money out of the club.

4 Star power

What’s not to like about fanowned clubs? They can be democratic and run sustainably. Fans, the heart of any football club, can have their voices heard. On the other hand, private ownership can also benefit fans. In 2020, Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased Wrexham A.F.C.

Since then, they have gained promotion, followers and investment. As a result, the local community in Wales has attracted more tourism and investment.

4 Star power

Final individual activity (1-2

mins)

Point to the ownership model you think works best for a football club.

Now’s your chance to vote on: “Should UK football clubs be fan-owned?”

It would surely make things more affordable for fans, and put them at the heart of decisionmaking.

Real fans are getting priced out of The Beautiful Game. Get it done now.

If there was less money in football, it would change the way the game is played - and for the better.

How would clubs ever get anything done if they had to consult with fans? That's a lot of people...

Football has now become a business, and the key players know what they're doing. Leave them to it, I say.

Half of the joy of football these days is the drama of transfer deadline day. If no one can afford good players, it'll get boring fast.

We will be sharing your thoughts on this topic with the Premier League, the FA, Birmingham City F.C., Wrexham A.F.C., F.C. United of Manchester and Lewes Community F.C. Log in to your VotesforSchools account to submit your vote and leave a comment.

Eleanor May Simmonds, OBE (born 11 November 1994) is a British former Paralympian swimmer who competed in S6 events. She came to national attention when she competed in the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, winning two gold medals for Great Britain. She was the youngest member of the team, at the age of 13. In 2012, she was again selected for the Great Britain squad, this time swimming at a home games in London. She won another two golds in London, including setting a World Record in the 400m freestyle, and a further gold medal at the Rio Paralympics in 2016, this time setting a world record for the 200m medley.

Why are Ellie’s achievements so important?

Highfields School Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural

Look at the words linked to describing charitable contributions

E.g. In January I ran 50 miles supporting Maggie’s cancer charity.

I did this because I have seen first hand how cancer affects a person/family. I want to reduce the pain for patients of cancer and make their treatment process an easier journey.

E.g. I volunteered in an Elephant sanctuary in Thailand.

I did this because I wanted to help, and to ensure animals are given equal care and love. My aim was to help reduce the neglect and cruelty animals are subjected to.

Pride – Personal pride.

Think of one example of a personal achievement that you have been proud of.

Thelma the Unicorn review – sunny Netflix cartoon offers simple pleasures

What is the purpose of a film review?

Thelma the Unicorn, a new Netflix animated family movie, has plenty of successful tricks aimed at kids: glitter and cotton-candy pink, a pile of manure jokes, a mini-album of catchy original songs, an endearing hero in its titular singing pony-turned-unicorn. But perhaps its greatest asset is its parable of fame, easy enough for young minds reared on phones to grasp, but winking to those who understand a matching-double-denim-outfits on the red carpet reference.

I have to imagine that it is bewildering to grow up aware of or aspiring to viral fame – Instagram celebrities, TikTok trends, overnight Youtube stars –before you even really know yourself. In the grand tradition of kids movies peppered with adult references and talking donkeys, Thelma the Unicorn, directed by Lynn Wang and Napoleon Dynamite’s Jared Hess, offers up plenty of glitterified, thoroughly silly fun over a decent, sunny message on staying true to yourself in the spotlight.

It comes with plenty of pitfalls along the way, which provide the bulk of the film’s humor. Thelma, voiced by Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard in her voice-acting debut, is a working small-town pony (she carts manure at a farm) with a DIY backing band and a dream of crowd-surfing at the music festival Sparklepalooza. Thwarted by the usual dismissals at an American Idol-esque audition – we don’t like your look, you don’t have the “it” factor – Thelma catches a break thanks to a collision with a clumsy truck driver’s (Zach Galifianakis) paint and glitter.

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 yourresponsibility.

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.

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?
