Louise, Aaron, Georgia and Rachel’s comic!

We done our comic on the famous Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet. We chose this as we read it in English and we really enjoyed it!

Christopher, Lewis, Konner, Owen- Harry Potter Comic Strip

For a while in our English class has been working on comic strips. Our comic strip was a scene out of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. We chose this scene because all of us have read this book and we all love Harry Potter!

In the strip there are pictures of us trying to act out the scene and although it wasn’t quite as good as the the film we think that it was still enjoyable. We would like to do things like this again because not only was it really fun but we also learned things from it.

You will never hurt my children again

We choose the fight scene out of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows for our comic strip because we we think it is a very funny scene.
