Literacy Week in the Secondary Department

Sara El Khatib — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:06:07 +0000

Literacy Week is nearly here and the Secondary School is abuzz with ideas! This year for Literacy Week, the Secondary School will be focusing on strengthening a community approach to literacy, encouraging students to interact across Key Stages and involving families and staff in some way.

Year 7 shall be completing a variety of activities and competitions, including guessing which story character a selection of teachers will be dressed as on the Thursday! Their teachers are busy organising their costumes as we speak and are very much looking forward to the fun. Year 8 will be collecting a favourite family recipe from their parents in order to collate an online TEA recipe book. They will also visit with the Year 5 students and help them create a recipe for the perfect book! Year 9 shall be designing their own books for Key Stage 2 readers, which will be put to the ultimate test – they will sit and share their books with Years 3 and 4! Year 10 will create a Digital Story with PowerPoint, making a montage of images that help tell their story. Students will be given an option to add music and animation to make their Digital Story really stand out! These will be presented in class.

Literacy Week is a time for staff and students alike to reflect on how literacy impacts our lives and to discuss and share our love of writing and stories. We look forward to sharing this together.
