Kingsthorpe College visited the Cobblers Study Centre for a Barclaycard Reward Day in return for the hard work that they have put in at school over this term.  Activities at the Study Centre included a Stadium Tour, Stadium Orienteering and a football practical session with Coach Lee Garlic.  ICT activities in the study centre included creating name badges and a comic strip of their stadium tour.  It was great to see the young learners enjoying themselves.  Thanks to Barclaycard for funding the day and supplying volunteer mentors for the day.

“hi i’m James and my thoughts of the day were … it was brilliant!!! my favourite part was when we got to train and warm up with some mini games my favourite part was when we played a mini world cup my team was Brazil even though we only came 3rd i had plenty of fun i would highly recommend this to other schools … Cobblers!!!”

This week our Year 8 Kic.in2.study group got the opportunity to interview two of the Cobblers first team. They researched what an open, closed and hypothetical question were and discussed what questions they would like to ask. Andy Holt and Chris Dunn were very impressed with the student’s interview techniques and the range of good questions asked.
