As a staff we are currently working alongside Gail Loane, an educational consultant whose passion and speciality is Literacy. 

She visited Clearview this week and worked alongside some of our students.  Check out the writing pieces below from Sasha and Michael from the Red Sparks team!

The leaf is as thin as paper. A simple flick would smash it. All of the decapitated pieces slowly hover to the forest floor. It’s like drop of water hitting the burning, smoking ground as it mixes with the concrete. Cracking in the  wind, leaf pieces fly into people and become stuck on fluffy items.  (Michael)

The holes in the leaf make it look like netting. Dark cream veins are visible. In some places parts have broken off. Dirty remnants are still clinging to the fairly visible skeleton. A network of overlapping veins cover the leaf. These patches make it look a bit foggy. The weak spinal cord fights to hold everything together. (Sasha)
