Writing and Reading Fun Harry Potter Club- UK Qualified Teacher- Join Anytime!

All sections of the class have the same topic- Please see the outline below. Each week is a stand alone lesson, and the content does not build, so children can join at any point.

🌟Join me, a self- proclaimed Hogwarts expert, for an ongoing reading & writing course, perfect for Harry Potter fans! We will explore and master English skills through the lens of the magical world of J.K. Rowling.

🤝 Beginners will be guided step-by-step, advanced students challenged with targeted questions and vocabulary. 

✨Each week, children will explore a different reading or writing skill and demonstrate their understanding through short, focused pieces of work, all inspired by the magical world of Harry Potter. ✨
