Physical Education Social Sciences It has been a busy term for the social sciences team! Students have shown some amazing skills across the subjects and there has been a huge number of achievement points issued to celebrate the hard work of the students. Year 11 geographers did well with their revision over the half term break – it was really well attended and showed a real dedication to their studies and exams. The geography team was thrilled to receive some Ordnance Survey skills books from the Governors. These will be incorporated into our map skills unit of study – a big thank you to the Governors for these. The history team was proud to also take receipt of some special memorabilia from a friend of Miss Amos. We have had some war medals donated to the department, as well as a very special framed letter from Winston Churchill – the students have all shown great enthusiasm and interest in these items and we will explore them further in our World War Two studies after easter. Mrs O’Brien led the assemblies on Holocaust Memorial Day this year. As always, the students of RPCC, displayed respect and sensitivity around this

topic. Year 8 will look at this poignant moment in history in more depth in the summer term. Well done to all students for their hard work and resilience this term! Sum of Achievement Points Geography 2692 History 22269 Travel & Tourism 202 Total 25163

will be working hard to set up fundraising activities for their chosen charities and hosting the swimming gala. This year, the selected charities are Abby’s Heroes and MacMillan Cancer support. There will be events at the Sports Awards, focussing on raising money for these charities.
