I think a lot more people should learn about
leadership qualifications, and it should spread
further to all pupils and in some cases maybe
teachers themselves.

Conference
This way I believe people can bring their skills
out and it will make all environments easier to
co-operate an interact.
Id rather do less talk with no moving and more
doing whilst talking.
SR shouldnt be just learning about religions,
beliefs and ways of living. It should involve
leadership, so we can learn more about ourselves
than other people. We can benefit from this
because we shall learn the qualities needed to
perform a job to its best and to try and lead
strays to a proper life. By Jack Meaden (Nicholas

Log Book Entry
Monday Week 1 Today I have learnt a learning
technique which amazed me it had such an impact
on me. It involved me thinking of an action for
each of the key words in my English Literature
revision for A Streetcar Named Desire.
This technique has particularly taken me because,
being a drama student, I enjoy moving about and
doing physical things, especially if it involves
learning at the same time. Im going to try
different things in other lessons. I wonder what
it would be like if I acted out something in
science or maths, or did a Venn diagram to help
me remember the emotions of characters in
Macbeth.

group talk important is overwhelming

Both boys and girls find great benefit in
learning by doing, listening and seeingWe
wonder whether these three ought to happen more
in equal combination
