The Term of V.A.K.

The Falcons School for Girls tries to make sure that every pupil knows that we all learn in different ways. Ideally, everyone should know the best way for them to learn:
* Some girls are brilliant at learning new skills by reading;
* Some girls are brilliant at listening;
* Some girls learn best by talking through ideas;
* Some girls learn best by 'doing' - using their hands and their bodies.

To promote thinking about the best ways to learn, we will be using this new logo (created by Art Leader Mr Allan) throughout the school.

Fun Stuff - Area Rap!

Musical learning is one of the best ways to make sure that you remember 'dull' or difficult information!

Poetry Competition

We love poetry at FSG! We are all going to learn a poem by heart, and perform it for the class as part of our Book Week!

The four best performers will be invited to recite their poem at a special competition in the hall - and we'll record their performances and podcast them on this blog!

Try to pick poems written by non-English poets: look for poems from Australia, India, America, Jamaica, China...

Learning poetry by heart
Depending on your prefered learning style, there are several different ways to start learning your poem

- Read the poem again and again.
- Try recording it onto tape, and listen to it again and again
- If you're a kinaesthetic learner, make up some movements for each line of the poem
- Musical learner might want to learn the poem as a song, or try setting it to music!
- Visual learners might want to write it up as a beautiful piece of calligraphy
