There has been a certain amount of confusion over the lessons for this course. We have in fact had 20 lessons, so they are finished. Early in the academic year some of you had difficulty
logging in to the Learning Hub, so extra lessons were arranged, one of which was taught earlier this year. I was informed that there would be one extra lesson on 23rd
June, and informed you all of that on 9th June.
I am now informed that there was a lesson scheduled for today. As a conscientious teacher I will be there at the usual time in case any of you join the lesson.
I will confirm the extra lesson(s) for the remainder of this academic year, and ask the office to email your parents. I will post information on this site as usual.

John Wyndham's The Kraken Wakes is a novel about aliens which invade Earth and then lurk in the depths of the oceans before emerging. Wyndham's most famous novel is The Day of the Triffids, where intelligent plants almost take over. His works are gripping stories with a moral angle, which allows the reader to draw conclusions of their own.
