Hi Dominic,

I looked at the class profile.  I think they will be a delight to teach.  I spent a couple of years teaching a group of students of pensionable age who had some similarities.  Obviously you'll need to avoid teaching what they learnt over the past few months.  Again, to state the obvious, you could ask them what they want to learn, though ss can't always articulate this easily.  For one lesson you could spend 5 or 10 minutes each on a number of topics and then ask them to vote on what they want to do more of.  Do these ss have to complete any accreditation at any point?  Bearing in mind that several of them want to support their grandchildren, you could adapt a variety of UK-primary-appropriate geography, history, RE, science and maths-related reading texts to read in class, introduced and followed-up with differentiated DARTS, inc. open-ended S&L and writing tasks.  You could also pick out, or ask them to pick out well-known figures they admire, and/or find some English versions of Congolese folk-takes to base work upon.

Let us all know what you decide and how you get on!

Regards,

Philippa
