@ZanaFraillon Year 8 have been studying The Bone Sparrow and I thought you might like to know how much they appreciated the book. It is a wonderful, and important, story that raised lots of important ideas for discussion. They loved it! Thank you. https://t.co/emXeq5x4CV

Made some small ‘Bitesize Academic Reading’ resources for ‘Macbeth’ to trial. The format is inspired by another resource on here but I can’t find the original author so shout if it’s you so I can credit! Use/change/ignore as you see fit. @Team_English1 https://t.co/TVfzoUxOCt
