YEAR GROUP 9
The aim of Further Learning is to
help improve pupil confidence
and reinforce their knowledge and
understanding within subjects. It
provides the opportunity for pupils
to both challenge themselves in
areas they find difficult and pursue
areas they are passionate about.
Table of Contents
Pupils are encouraged to attempt
as many activities as they feel
appropriate each week. They may
wish to focus in one particular
subject area or complete a variety of
tasks from throughout the subjects
they study. Any completed work
should be handed into subject
teachers at the start of lessons
so they can receive feedback and
epraise rewards.

Stealing - Carol Ann Duffy
The most unusual thing I ever stole?
A snowman.
Midnight. He looked magnificent; a
tall, white mute beneath the winter
moon. I wanted him, a mate with a
mind as cold as the slice of ice within
my own brain. I started with the head.
It took some time. Reassembled in the
yard, he didn’t look the same. I took a
run and booted him.
Again. Again.
My breath ripped out in rags. It seems
daft now. Then I was standing alone
among lumps of snow, sick of the
world.
Better off dead than giving in, not
taking what you want. He weighed a
ton; his torso, frozen stiff, hugged to
my chest, a fierce chill piercing my
gut. Part of the thrill was knowing that
children would cry in the morning.
Life’s tough.
Boredom. Mostly I’m so bored I could
eat myself.
One time, I stole a guitar and thought
I might learn to play. I nicked a bust of
Shakespeare once, flogged it, but the
snowman was the strangest.
Sometimes I steal things I don’t need.
I joy-ride cars to nowhere, break into
houses just to have a look.
I’m a mucky ghost, leave a mess,
maybe pinch a camera.
I watch my gloved hand twisting the
doorknob.
A stranger’s bedroom. Mirrors. I sigh
like this - Aah.
You don’t understand a word I’m
saying, do you?
