Phoenix Bates and Priscilla Adu Donkor have also showed great maturity this week with their independent Spanish work.

Ryan Cain – Spanish

Ms Jordan writes;

‘Ryan Cain in Year 7 has produced outstanding work throughout the duration of lockdown. I have been so impressed with his Spanish work and this week he blew me away with his powerpoint about Barcelona (which he chose to translate in Spanish) and his Spanish letter. Ryan always tries his hardest and goes above and beyond to exceed any challenge I set him. His work this week is of year 9 standard and is the best I have ever seen from a year 7 pupil.’
