🧠 🎓Year 11 Thinking Hard! ✍️📖 Our Year 11 students have been using powerful ‘thinking hard’ strategies to deepen their understanding of the GCSE poetry anthology. They’ve created brilliant visual representations of the poems and identified their own ‘killer quotations’ to support analysis and revision. It’s fantastic to see such creativity and critical thinking in action — they’re building strong foundations for success! 💪
