Year 9 explored good, bad, and ugly Oracy behaviour in today's lesson which culminated in a group task of building the tallest, free-standing tower using four sheets of newspaper and one table length of sticky tape. The winning group received chocolate. 👀👏🍫

Year 9 were working on their persuasive language skills today and did a great job of making Mrs Uffendell very hungry. We definitely think they could consult with the food department at @marksandspencer for their next ad campaign! 😋

Tomorrow, year 11 students will have their first GCSE paper for English Language.

Year 11, trust in the work that you have done and please know that some of your biggest cheerleaders will be willing you on from the English corridor! You've got this! 💪

Year 11 are working really hard on their revision across the department - today, Mrs Uffendell's class worked independently and collaboratively on themes present in ACC. 👏👏👏

Year 9 have been 'juicing' quotes and writing analytical responses to reading, working on being precise in their inferences - we are so proud of the work they are producing!

Mrs Uffendell was delighted to receive an email telling her that we have won a #LitInColour competition with @PenguinUKBooks - 100 books by authors of colour AND a set of 30 copies of 'Empireland' by @Sathnam with an accompanying resource pack. How exciting! ♥️

David Walliams has a message for you: dare to follow your dreams. Dennis lives in a boring street in a boring town. He doesn’t have much to look forward to. What he does have is dreams - more colourful than a rainbow, wilder than a zoo, and topsy-turvier than a rollercoaster.

Enormous thanks to Mrs Hardy-Stuart, @talkthetalkUK and colleagues who supported our Oracy Day at @AnsfordAcademy! Well done to our Oracy champions and all students who participated in this important event. We are so proud of you all! #oracymatters #communication

When people look at George, they think they see a boy but she knows she's not a boy. She knows she's a girl. George thinks she'll have to keep this a secret forever. The school play is announced as Charlotte's Web and George REALLY wants to play Charlotte.

Including testimonials from people across the gender and sexual spectrums, this is an accessible and inclusive take on what it's like to grow up LGBT, addressing the worries and anxieties young people may have - whether or not they are questioning their own sexuality.#pride
