Playing for Success - Spring Term - Week 2

Posted by: Diamonds Study Centre Team in Uncategorized

It has been another action packed week at the Study Centre this week with our  primary and secondary schools from the Wellingborough area continuing with the Playing for Success programme. 

Students were set a challenge to produce their dream sports team with a budget of £60 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.

Playing for Success - Spring Term - Week 1

Posted by: Diamonds Study Centre Team in Uncategorized

This week saw the start of the Spring term for the Playing for Success programme at Diamonds Study Centre.  3 Primary and 3 Secondary schools from the Wellingborough 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!
