Sorry for the loooonnnnnngggg amount of time it has been since I last posted. It has been a very hectic few months. Now that year 11 have left us ( insert sad face!) I have a little more time on my hands.
Today was the day of the Trading Game! I ran this down at our second site with the whole of year 9! Not all in one go, we had 3 sessions with between 60-70 girls in each session! It was a fab day, exhausting but Year 9 really were well behaved!
Trying to get 60 screaming, competing girls took its toll by session 3, luckily I had Hayley to use her LOUD voice to quieten the rest of her group down! Naideene spent the whole two hours trying to suss me out and work out how she could make more mone, and Olachi stayed behind to talk a little more about the game as she had enjoyed it so much!!!!!!! This definitely is why I came into teaching.
In the images you can see students getting stuck in, either banking their shapes or trading items. I have never seen year 9 quite so focused! Some students, really surprised me!
Thank you to year 9 who worked so well today - I hope you enjoyed it! And thanks to EHX and Ms Sanders who helped me set up and have a awesome day!
