SMSC development: Stephen's story

I was really touched by the pupils' response to the news coverage of Stephen Sutton recently and thought it would be great to use Stephen's story for their SMSC development. I showed my year nine group a video Stephen made about his 'bucket list'. I asked them to think about some of the things they would like to achieve and experience in their lives. They jotted their ideas down on sticky notes and the responses were great. They ranged from, "ride a giraffe" to "take my family on a luxury holiday because they have supported me my whole life". Here is a picture of our 'bucket list' board in commemoration of Stephen's life!
