This week’s entries to the Celebration Gallery demonstrate some of the fantastic work and independent learning being done by ERGS pupils as they remain in lockdown but keen to keep their learning going. Don’t worry if your work isn’t included this week as teachers have been sending through all kinds of material that we will keep uploading over the coming days and weeks.

Mrs Rees was delighted with the 9C’s creative storyboards. The class were asked to change the locations of Willy Russell’s play ‘Our Day Our’ to Northern Ireland – how lovely to see some of our tourist spots when we can’t visit them at the minute. Here are just a few great examples, from Kyle, Ella, Alex and Emily, of the level of creativity and imaginative ideas they came up with – Mrs Rees
Yr10 Clay Tiles -These wonderful pieces were set in the kiln just before lockdown and quite a nice surprise for the Art Department to discover the other week.

AS English Students are studying the text ‘Frankenstein’. Pupils were asked to use the Anki App or card to make revision cards for the character of Victor and the creature which they can then use to help in the completion of an exam style question (and develop essay writing technique for next year). Lucy Ellis sent in this great example of one of her cards – Miss Mulligan
Coming up next week we can look forward to GCSE LLW, more English work from Year 8, some impressive physics research by year 10 and much more.
Perstare et Praestare.
