REVISION

Just a reminder that you can pick up lots of revision material from the school library. We have the revision wall (which can be found on the right wall as the enter the library) which is full of revision packs and worksheets that you can take away with you. If you have any questions about the English exams or revision please come and see me, I will be in the library after school on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday till 4.30pm.

REMEMBER English revision takes place in the library EVERY WEDNESDAY from 3.30 till 4.30pm. This weeks revision session will be on poetry, if you have any poetry related questions please come along.

I also have practice exam papers available so please come and see me in the library.
