In 8s/En4, we are lucky to have wonderful and knowledgeable Learning Assistants supporting students with learning. Our amazing Learning Assistants, Ms Gray and Miss Bidder work together with Mr Johnson and I to build a positive and successful learning environment for our students.
During a recent lesson, Miss Bidder led the learning as students continued to discover Malorie Blackman’s dystopian novel, Noughts and Crosses. Students were fully engaged as Miss Bidder read the novel to them, commenting that they enjoyed Miss Bidder’s expression of character and Eric in 8 Oak said that it helped him build an image of what the characters were like.
Please enjoy the below video of Miss Bidder reading Noughts and Crosses to 8s/En4.
