On Tuesday, 23rd February, the TY students have started a new venture - a public speaking module with Toastmasters - during English class. Ms. Reynolds explains in detail.
Today our TY students started a new venture, a public speaking module with Toast Masters, the internationally recognised public speaking body. At any one time there are over 300, 000 people participating in this course in any of the 130 counties that its available in. Each student will have the opportunity to be a chairperson, to give a speech and to conduct a mock interview. On the successful completion of this course, they will receive a International Toastmasters’ Certificate in Public Speaking.
This external certification builds on what is already a very successful and enjoyable TY Public Speaking Module.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
