Word Circus: The Book Review

February 6, 2023 by Kristie Leave a Comment

New Directions A salutary exercise for Class 7 students enjoying their The Book main lesson is for them to select a book, either fiction or non-fiction, to read and then write a review.

February 6, 2023 by Kristie Leave a Comment

GRAMMAR’S GREAT Language Structure – Class 8 – Main Lesson The Class 8 students had settled down at last in this, the first day of their new Language main lesson.
