I really enjoy English Master Class. It’s really interesting because we do lots of drama. We went on a trip to Sussex University to train trainee teachers. Mr Hobbs talked to them for a while and then the group went to different tables to come up with a drama piece to perform in front of everyone else.

I’m really glad I joined the English Master Class!

Master Class is fun because we do a lot of drama and not very much writing. There have been a few trips and many more to come and I think it is great! We also have a very friendly teacher that listens to your ideas and problems and helps sort them out.

My name is Chelsie. I am 12 years old and I have recently joined the Master Class. I really enjoy it because you can learn new things and it boosts your confidence. We do drama and recently they all went to Sussex University. I would have but I hadn’t joined by then. It is very good and it is more fun than it sounds. It is for years 7, 8 and 9. I think there is a separate one for years 10 and 11.

P.S. There are lots of girls so we need MORE BOYS!

I have been coming to the English Master Class for a few weeks now and so far I quite like it. We went to Sussex University for the afternoon not long ago to help Mr Hobbs train some teachers. I enjoyed it.

It’s not like a normal lesson because we choose what we’re going to do and learn.It’s on for about an hour once a week…and it gives you big opportunities that will help you in later life!

Hi my name is Dannielle and I joined the Master Class in September. I really enjoy it because you learn new words and what they mean. We went to Sussex University on 15th January and it was very interesting because you got to work with adults and plan to do acting. You get to know other people in the Master Class and work with years 7, 8 and 9. You may think that in Master Class we just do writing but we don’t, we do acting. So if you’re interested to join come and see me or Mr Hobbs. It will be great if you come and join. I’m glad I joined!

My name is Astra Dodge. I am one of the year 9s that go to the English Master Class for KS3 students. I started in September and we had a recent trip to Sussex University. At the University we helped trainee teachers with their learning skills by talking about what helps us to learn and what subjects we like best. Before that, we had pictures with a caption and we had to make a drama piece out of it.

It’s quite a small class so the teachers focus more and it’s more peaceful. Everyone gets along with each other and we all enjoy the work we do. If you would like to find out more about us or even join then please ask Mr Hobbs or me.

I have been going to the English Master Class since it first started. At Master Class we get to do lots of fun things, such as, we all got to go to Sussex University on 15th January 2010. We usually get to choose what we do, which makes it a lot more different from normal day to day lessons. If you are interested, then come and speak to Mr Hobbs in room 25.

My name is Belinda. I am a year 9 student. I have been going to the English Master Class since September 2009. I really enjoy going to the Master Class because it is really fun. We get to choose what we do during the time period we spend filling our brain at the Master Class. We try to go on really fun trips that we probably will never get to experience throughout our lives. We learn great new skills every week. It’s a laugh every week. Mr Hobbs is a great teacher. He doesn’t give us work to do in a short space of time, he gives us work to do and we can take as long or as short as we want. If you want to join you should go and see Mr Hobbs.

The English Master Class is on every Wednesday from 3 until 4 after school. Mr Hobbs runs these sessions. This is in his room (25). I have only just started so do not know much about it but it sounds good and my first session was quite interesting.
