Gifted and Talented Group Visits

Sixth Form group Work

Visits to Schools and museums

I have worked with groups of Gifted and Talented pupils from KS2 upwards, and with 6th Form special interest groups. While these are clearly widely different in age, there are similarities in the approach and material I find suits them well. Perhaps I ought to call this section, "Other Student Groups". Whichever age, these sessions allow me to stretch the students that bit further, while building their confidence in what they can do, and the new skills they are developing. I always enjoy the extra mile these groups go! Projects can be varied, and tailored to fit the occasion. The most used is session for musicians, on a Tudor/17th Century theme: We investigate divisions, the style of writing variations in music; We work on ways of building confidence in improvising to certain rules, at a level appropriate to the group. Students may work either with their own instruments, or some of mine. Another session has them looking into Medieval composition style, and creating their own pieces. Dance is usually incorporated into the day, either as a whole group, or a parallel subgroup.
