A series of ten webinars suitable for lower KS3 students aged around 11-12 years old, although they may suit slightly older or younger students depending on ability.
The theme for this term is Magic and Mystery and we’ll be looking at a range of fiction and non-fiction text types and explore writing about mysterious places, magical natural phenomena, the art and science of magic and mystery in narratives and poetry. We’ll be reading and discussing a variety of texts together, developing understanding of writing for different audiences and purposes and exploring how language can be used to create effects.
A variety of supplementary cross-curricular resources and optional written tasks will be provided, including links to relevant articles, news reports, websites and documentaries to give students the opportunity to broaden their reading and build their knowledge of effective writing as well as extend their vocabulary and understanding of grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Classes will be held on Mondays 11am-12 noon. Dates for the webinars are as follows:
January 13th, 20th, 27th
February 3rd and 10th
**No lesson February 17th – half term break**
February 24th
March 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th
Recordings will be made available in Google Classroom shortly after each week’s live event, so students are able to review what is covered each each week, together with an optional written task for students to complete if they wish to in their own time.
Once you have completed your booking, please look out for an email from Acorn Education, which will contain details on how to access Google Classroom and all the recordings and resources. Please ensure you reply to this email and provide your child’s/children’s name/s so I can add them to the register.
