While Miss Richards read the extract aloud to the Y8 class in DEAR today, the students listened and illustrated what they could hear from the story. Thinking about the characters and setting and what they looked like. Good job Y8!

We had a brilliant review handed in from Adam Y7 this morning who has decided to try the 16 Before 16 reading programme - his mature insight into the book Vox by Christina Dalcher was amazing and we had an excellent conversation about it!

Our Y7 Spelling Bee team had quick fire rounds today on all of the vocabulary they have learned and practised over the last term. We were seriously impressed with their spelling ability. Only 3 words out of the whole list were incorrect! Well done Y7!! 🌟👏
