Year 10 D&T students visit Disneyland
On Thursday, Year 10 Design & Technology groups had an opportunity to join workshops and study sessions at Disneyland Paris. The seminar was hosted by Study Experiences who specialise in this form of real world educational experience. The seminars and workshops applied GCSE theory to the Disneyland park giving the pupils real life scenarios to help their studies ahead of the examination next year.
The pupils conducted themselves superbly, interacting in workshop sessions and feeding back ideas to the organisers for developing the park itself. The staff from Study Experiences commented on the high level of understaning and creativity from our pupils and were very impressed with their final products.
Of course, the pupils went into the theme park after the seminar to enjoy the rides and attractions they had just learnt about. Despite the poor weather, nothing seemed to dampen the group's enjoyment and a brilliant day was had by all.
