English Department
The spring term launches into action
with novels in focus. Grade 6 students delve into the world of Narnia, while
Grade 7 explore and revel in the autobiography of Roald Dahl, BOY – Tales of
Childhood. Grade 8 takes upon the relationship of Lenny and his brother in Of
Mice and Men, while the Grade 9 students experience a “slice” of historical
tragedy in The Boy With the Striped Pyjamas. The English Enrichment programme is
going strong, with films in focus. Students have familiarized themselves with
movie terminology, and have been writing film reviews. The IGCSE for Grade 9
candidates have also been introduced and integrated into classroom
teaching. The National test is drawing near, with the first paper on March 16.
Spring is always an exciting term for all!
