This has been a very busy two weeks filled with Progressive Achievement Tests and classwork. The students completed four PATs: Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Listening Comprehension, and Punctuation and Grammar.
The Year 7 group have additionally been finishing off a unit based on summarising. They have learnt about paraphrasing and three ways to show their understanding of a text: using synonyms, changing the structure of sentences, and concision (using a precise set of words.)
The Year 8 and 9 groups continue to read, and complete activities based around “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Othello” respectively. Both levels have been learning how to identify language devices, and genre conventions and write their responses based on locating evidence (quotations) that support their argument. Additionally, the students continue to learn how to write an academic essay.
