Museum

Class Teacher: Katie Kops

Welcome to Museum Class one of our Key Stage 4 classes here at Redwood Park Academy.

Academic Year 2025/2026

Museum Class have had a fantastic and busy term, taking part in a wide range of activities that have supported their independence, confidence and life skills.

Each week, pupils have been visiting the Havant Leisure Centre for offsite swimming. The class have worked hard on developing their water confidence and swimming techniques, with many showing brilliant progress and growing enjoyment in the pool.

In Design Technology, students have been getting creative by designing and building their very own Christmas gift boxes. They learned how to plan, measure and construct their designs, and the finished boxes will look fantastic – full of personal touches and festive cheer.

Our weekly trips to Drayton Park have also been a highlight. Pupils have taken part in both basketball and tennis, practising key skills such as teamwork, coordination and communication, all while having great fun outdoors.

In Cooking, the students have been developing their independence by preparing meals from scratch. From following recipes to using equipment safely, pupils have shown real responsibility and pride in their cooking. The delicious results have been enjoyed by everyone!

The class have also shown wonderful creativity in Art. This term, students have been working on large A2 artworks inspired by cross-sections of fruit. They explored colour, shape and texture by using watercolours and a range of collage materials, resulting in vibrant and detailed pieces that really stand out.

It has been a wonderful term full of hard work, new skills and great achievements. Well done, Museum Class!
