MIND, BODY & SOUL
#
It is
always exciting to create the Mind, Body and Soul curriculum at
the start of the academic year. The curriculum offer aims to provide
students with a range of exciting opportunities that will develop
a range of skills, broaden their knowledge and understanding and increase their cultural
capital. The teachers at Cranford have an amazing array of passions, interests and hobbies
and it is from our talented teachers that we get the inspiration for the Mind, Body and
Soul curriculum.
Debating, STEM activities, Shakespeare in Schools, Chess, Italian, Korean, Art and Craft
and a range of sporting activities have been popular sessions for the last few years. This year
we further expanded and enriched the offer with Yoga, Philosophy, Mandarin, Enterprise,
Journalism, Boules, Music Technology, Situation Ethics and Wellbeing groups.
In September the students made their choices and embarked on a voyage of discovery
enthusiastically learning Mandarin, practising Yoga and contemplating philosophical
questions. In January 2021 we were not deterred by the second lockdown and continued to
deliver the same curriculum to the students through face to face lessons on Microsoft Teams.
Sports activities became Joe Wicks style with the teachers leading practical sessions from
school encouraging students to use household implements as a bat and rolled up socks as a
ball. Teachers and students were very resourceful with the STEM sessions, and art and craft
sessions using whatever was available in the home and raiding the recycling box. Students
and teachers continue to enjoy the benefits of the Mind, Body and Soul programme whether
we are in school or learning remotely.
