Happy world book day! Mrs Durie’s favourite book she’s read so far in 2021 is ‘Hamnet’ by Maggie O’Farrell. What have you been reading recently? 📚 @LibraryDGS

[English@DGS @EnglishDGS]

Mrs Thompson's Year 8 classes have been making some fantastic mood boards based on the poem 'Still I Rise' by Maya Angelou. I think you'll all agree that they are absolutely stunning! #dgspride @MissMoodyDGS

Well done Lola in Year 7 who has written a wonderful poem inspired by our ‘Natural World Poetry’ unit 🌸

Well done Wiktoria in Year 7 for her poem based on ‘How to Eat a Poem.’ 👏

Be nice
don’t eat it
it’s not worth wasting
your time.
It takes time to peel,
you can’t eat it until
it’s finally clean out of skin
it will be soon
time goes fast until you can have your lunch.

Well done to Mrs Ashton’s Year 10s for working so hard on their ‘A Christmas Carol’ work 👍

[Frances Ashton @FKAEnglish]

Business as (not quite so) usual: retrieval quiz answers in the chat; modelling quotation explosions; break out rooms for collaboration; hands down questioning for feedback and class notebook for final task submission. #remotelearning #teams

[Elaine Baker @kitespotter]

Students @DidcotGirls might be mostly #athome but we are STILL WRITING ✍️ 🌟! Looking forward to leading our zoom poetry workshop next Tues 😌... 💫
