Many thanks to Ms North and her team of Reading Buddies, who have had an amazing half-term encouraging students in the younger years to start reading.

Our Year 8 students have been turning their understanding of 'The Magpie' into crime scene investigations. Here's a great example from Ms Weatherhog's classroom.

Impressive work from in Samuel in Mr Smith's Year 7 class, who transformed his work on Beowulf into a poem about Grendel. Well done!

A reminder to Year 10 students - you need to bring your own copy of 'An Inspector Calls' to every English lesson.

Y11 were captivated by the performance of Macbeth yesterday afternoon. Shakespeare’s Globe and the mesmerising acting brought the play to life.
Big thank you to the staff who made this trip possible!

Many of our #GartreeY11 students spent the hottest day of the year so far watching Macbeth at The Globe Theatre. At least it wasn't raining! #GartreeEnglish #GartreeDrama

Reminder:
Spaces are still available for our current Y10s to book their space on our Globe Theatre trip to see Macbeth in September. All details on are on the MCAS app!

It's National "Thank A Teacher" Day today, apparently. Many of our students have been writing messages to thank a specific teacher for something they have appreciated. Some of the messages have been very touching. Thanks. #GartreeThanks

This afternoon our lovely Carnegie Book Club watched the award ceremony being streamed. The lucky lot enjoyed some treats as the final decisions were made. Sign up with Ms Weatherhog!

Almost all exams are now over & the majority of #GartreeY11 students can forget about exams and enjoy the summer and the future. We will see you on results day. Thanks for the cards the presents and - above all - the memories. Meanwhile, we have four other year groups to enjoy!

Today a group of #GartreeY7 students are on their way to The Globe Theatre in London, where they will enjoy A Comedy of Errors (the play, not the journey - we hope). Another group will go out next Thursday to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream. #GartreeEnglish #GartreeDrama
