To start the Term Grade 7 students have been working hard in English to complete their novel studies. Classes have worked on the novels Hatchet, A Long Walk to Water and Matilda. Throughout these units, students have focused on paragraph writing skills which has culminated in them writing an essay. They have also focused on public speaking, presenting their knowledge of the novel to the rest of the class.

Classes are now starting to move into our Term 3 unit which focuses on life stories and the different ways these can be told. Students will be analysing visual and written texts to communicate the different elements that authors use to engage an audience.
