Year 8 Learning

In Year 8, we aim to build upon the firm foundation built in year 7 by enabling students to communicate in three different time frames (the past, present and future.) We continue our focus on the four key skills as the difficulty level gradually starts to rise. Students who particularly enjoy MFL lessons are also able to choose Spanish as an expressive arts pathway option going into Year 9.
