Hercules: Graphic novels

We started the year by reading a graphic novel version of the famous mythical legend: Hercules! We really got to know Hercules, Hera and Hercules' jealous cousin and we were in awe of the strength and determination that Hercules showed battling through his twelve gruelling tasks!

Non-fiction texts: Plastic Pollution

This term in English we are focusing on non-fiction, persuasive reports. The theme we are focusing on is plastic pollution.
