Novel Study: Two Weeks with the Queen.
This programme involves the students investigating some of the theories and techniques of novel writing. We will read the novel Two Weeks with the Queen, analyse its structure and the ideas Morris Gleitzman presents through this unexpected story. It will be a thoughtful and enjoyable time – and you’ll be able to watch on, via the students’ blogs and this lesson stream, to see the students’ work every step of the way. YEAR 7 LEARNING PLAN 2012The Student Blogging Scheme
We have launched our student blogging scheme – the classroom is equipped with brand new iPads and every student has their own blog. The possibilities of this new scheme are enormous – if you’re keen to investigate some of the thinking that goes behind it all can be seen on Mr Waugh’s professional journal.
