A Team: a date for your diaries!
The next A Team session details are below… You’ll be able to sign up outside the English staff room from 3rd March. Places, as always, are first come first served.
Studying Lord of the Flies?
Why not treat yourself to these ready-made ringtones?
We’re particularly partial to the first one.
You can download the ringtones by clicking here.
Shakespeare and poetry controlled assessment intervention
On Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th December, we’ll be running two days of off-timetable intervention for students who failed to complete the CA on Shakespeare/poetry last year, or who missed their target by 2 grades or more.
Your English teacher will let you know if you’re on the list, and will give you a letter to show your parents/carers. It’s critical that you attend both days and arrive on time.
You should come to L1A at the start of the day on Tuesday 15th, where Mr Shovlin and Mrs Dalby will be working with you to ensure the CA is completed to the best possible standard.
Prior to the intervention days, you should make sure you’re familiar with the story of Romeo and Juliet.
Here’s the most recent film adaptation:
If you’re shorter on time, you can watch the animated version below. (It’s not going to give anyone at Disney sleepless nights.)
If you have any questions about the assessment, see Mr Shovlin in L1A. (Alternatively, click on the Contact your teachers tab at the top of this page for his email address/Twitter username.)
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 15th!
Think you know Of Mice and Men?
We’ll see about that!
Click here to take our Megatest.
The winning student will receive a giant tub of Celebrations and credits.
Complete the test before Friday 23rd October, or you won’t get to tend no rabbits!
Looking forward to the BBC’s dramatisation of An Inspector Calls?
Why not whet your appetite for it with our JB Priestley vs Girls Aloud mashups? You can even download them to your phones for revision on the go – alongside the obvious street cred you’ll get from blasting them out at the back of the bus.
