It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor. The oncemighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.

I’m very impressed with the work Year 8 have been doing on extended metaphors so thank you for sharing them!

Year 7, can you guess what these are both an extended metaphor for? If you like these, why not have a go at writing one of your own? We in the English department would love to read them!

#CallingAllArtists How do you see yourself? What represents you? Can you find a way to capture you with art? We would love it if you could draw or create something that represents you, echoes your identity or celebrates diversity. Insert some colour onto our pages and spread some joy.
