This half term Miss Morgan’s classes have been sharing their class reading using ‘popcorn’ and ‘pass the bear’ (Shakesbear). Each member of the class reads a sentence, paragraph or a page. #Shakesbear #reading #English

Year 8 sketched and labelled the characters they had ‘crafted with words’ today to ensure they had used a range of #SMOAP features and a breadth of details to paint an accurate and vivid picture. #writing #descriptive #WednesdayWisdom #Wednesday #AQA #ProudtobeHayle #English

@hayleacademy @Hayle_PE @AQAEnglish @SimonCowell_pr @katyperry @justinbieber @Madonna @EthanBeare Year 8 used their descriptive language skills and tried to describe the #Celebrities too. They found that similes and comparative adjectives helped to communicate what they wanted their scribe to imagine. #writing #drawing #English
