 Pupils consistently display a thirst for knowledge and understanding and a love of learning, including when being taught as a whole class or working on their own or in small groups. This has a very strong impact on their progress in lessons. With this in mind I devised an independent project for Year 7s (but it could run across the whole school). On our school VLE I posted the attached tasks. Each Year 7 student was given a scrap book and told to complete as many tasks as they wanted. For each completed task, the student receives a gold coin sticker. I organised it through tutor groups so the form with the most coins wins a trip out of school in the summer term. Parents love this as it gives students something to do in the holidays and on weekends. Activities are often London based as this is our nearest city but this can be adapted to any place in the world. Get your departments on board and help develop a thirst for knowledge in your school!
