Archive for October, 2009Stadium Tours This week students have been on a tour of the Nene Park Stadium. Whilst there the young learners worked in teams to complete an orienteering activity. This involved solving maths sums to locate nine seats in the stadium behind which were control cards with nine different letters. They then had to solve an anagram to complete the activity. On their return to the Study Centre, students produced a Stadium Tour poster using Comic Life for the PC.

The posters were all completed to a high standard - congratulations to you all! A Year 5 Club Challenge Poster.
A Year 8 Club Challenge Poster
It has been another action packed week at the Study Centre this week with our three primary and three secondary schools from the Rushden area continuing with the Playing for Success programme. Students were set a challenge to produce their dream sports team with a budget of £50 million, complete with a stadium design, a sponsor, a manager and a mascot. They also put their art skills to the test by producing creative designs for their sports kit on their origami football shirts. Pupils learnt many new skills on the computer such as using search engines to find images of the players for their teams and year 8 pupils designed club badges incorporating the theme for their sports team using the computer. Next week: Continue with the Club Challenge. This week saw the start of the Autumn term for the Playing for Success programme at Diamonds Study Centre. 3 Primary and 3 Secondary schools from the Rushden area are taking part this term in this exciting 10 week programme. Young learners had a tour of the Sports Centre this week as well as using the ICT equipment to make name badges. They then learnt the art of origami by making football shirts out of folded paper. The young learners also started their Diamonds Diaries to record their experiences of their time here. Lots of fun was had by all and we look forward to continuing with the groups next week. Next week: Young learners will make a start on their Club Challenge which will see them design their own stadium, choose their dream team, manager and mascot and much more!
