Progressive English at Cedars School!


S3/4/5 are progressing well through our English courses in the senior stages of Cedars School. Most pupils have now successfully completed all their NABs, and we are revising our texts for the exam - Poetry, An Inspector Calls and 'Mossy' in S3/4, and Poetry, Macbeth and Lord of the Flies in S5.

S2 have just completed a language essay on what it means to be Scottish, and we are reading our way through a play called Street Child.

In S1, we have really enjoyed reading Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, and are about to let our enthusiasm for it spill over onto a literature essay. We are also letting it inspire us as we write our own short stories.

In P7, we have read and written about a dramatic version of The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tiler. We won't give away the exciting ending! As well as weekly spelling and grammar work, we are also starting to hone our close reading skills (interpretation).
