Miss Owens recently worked alongside tutor time teachers to deliver a series of lessons created to commemorate Holocaust Memorial day and also develop students research skills. The first lesson saw S1-3 students shown 8 holocaust memorials from around the world. They were asked to note down their thoughts, feelings and questions about each of these memorials. This information was then used by Miss Owens to create a research plan for each of the memorials. Each tutor time class then had to research a specific memorial over three weeks, using only the information provided by Miss Owens. This task developed their information retrieval skills, as well as reading skills. They worked together as a class to create a presentation about that memorial.
The series of lessons ended with a year assembly where students work was showcased in a presentation delivered by Miss Owens. This special assembly also had two senior pupils, Ben and Nicola, who are the Lessons from Auschwitz Ambassadors, speak at length about their recent trip to Auschwitz. They both gave a very moving and emotional recount of the time they spent both at Auschwitz and the conferences they had attended before hand. Below is the presentation shown at the S3 assembly and the images shown by our Lessons from Auschwitz Ambassadors.
