As we approach World Book Day next week the art room is buzzing with creative ideas and artistic designs!

Inspired by the English set text we are looking at Edgar Allan Poe’s story “The Tell-Tale Heart.” This story is a dark Gothic Horror about madness, murder and has an edge of dark humour.   For further inspiration, the children watched this modern animation by Annette Jung.

Student responses were “wow, that’s a mad story” and “it’s strange but really good”.

They now have the task of designing a front cover or illustrating a scene from the book.  This competition involves all KS3 students.
