Students in 8 Admiral and 8 Skipper have been set a piece of extended study to create their own interpretation of the island discussed in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Students must ensure they use quotations in their work alongside any drawing or design they create. In both groups students should have already decided on their pairs for this task and how they wish to present their interpretation. This work is due on 28th June.

On Monday 9th May 8 Skipper will be taking part in the immersion for the final expedition of the year. Followed by 8 Admiral on Wednesday 11th May.
Students will be outdoors all day in the Peak District and will therefore need:
A packed lunch
Warm clothing (multiple layers)
A waterproof coat
Walking boots or wellington boots -Walking boots are preferable as they will offer better ankle protection for students as they are walking.
A hat and gloves
We ask that students do not arrive in jeans for fieldwork as they are not appropriate for outdoor work.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at school.

Students should log into I Am Learning as usual to complete the task.
