'Witch Child' - KS3 (12-13yrs) English course.


This month our 12-13 year old students have been working on a unit of work based on the book 'Witch Child' by Celia Rees. It tells the story of the world of Mary Newbury, whose grandmother is accused and murdered for being a witch. Her story is told in the style of a diary.






One of the tasks was to create a poster, warning people in 17th century England of witches. The students came up with some wonderful ideas and here are a few of their designs.

For another lesson they had to write a diary entry, as if they were someone or knew someone who had been accused of witchcraft.
