I'm a form tutor for a rowdy Year 8 class. They're a mixed bunch - mostly lovely but noisy pupils with one or two pupils who've moved schools for poor behaviour/exclusions etc.
We get on well but because of recent poor class behaviour (complaints from tutors, class detentions etc) my registration time in the mornings have turned into ritual bollockings and lectures on consequences and behaviour.
I want to do things differently but have fallen into such a negative rut with them. We have silent reading one morning, numeracy another and an assembly once a week.
I'd like some ideas on what to do with them the other 2 days - ideally something positive and inspiring.
If something 'historic' happens in the news, I tend to discuss that (Nelson Mandella's passing was a fantastic chance to pay tribute and teach pupils about humility and humanity) but these don't happen every day.
Can someone inspire me please!
