@Miff__ @heresmishti Great, thank you!
I think I have that on my ‘to be read’ pile of books.

@DaisyDuck2109 @misscaroberts It’s not a formal exam. It’s an assessment as you described. Using the same provider too

@misscaroberts Thank you ☺️

@litfanatic Thank you for the advice 😊

@litfanatic Thank you!!
Feel a little overwhelmed by the prospect of the whole thing. I have a fair few days to do it in so it should be ok. Juggling full time teaching and this final task will be a challenge.

@LauraCurranBun This sounds like a fantastic idea.
Qu to the ppl who have organised the event: how is the festival structured? Are events happening at lunch, after school only? Or are students off timetable for the duration/key moments of the festival?

My department is thinking of ‘Anita and me’, ‘Mortal Engines’ or ‘ in the sea there are Crocodiles’ as options so far.

There are so many great options out there but book length is something I am really struggling with. Don’t really want to spend a whole term covering a text.

I’m looking in to a new year 9 class novel. Anyone have suggestions that have worked well for them in the ks3 curriculum? Preferably under 250pages #team_english1 @Team_English1 @TeamEnglishNC @k3english

Thank you for the suggestions

Random travel qu: has anyone bought a ticket for a flight from Skyscanner with a stopover using 2 different airlines? If I book a flight with a stopover using 2 airlines will they transfer my luggage or is there an expectation that I would have to check in again?#travel #flights
