YEAR GROUP 10
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.
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.

This is an extract from the novel Bleak House by
Charles Dickens.
Mr Guppy, a law clerk, and his friend, Tony Jobling, have arranged to meet a smalltime collector of papers, Mr Krook, at his shop in the dead of night. They have
come to read some letters that Mr Krook believes may be of value. However, on
arriving at the shop, Mr Guppy and Tony sense that something is wrong.
Mr Guppy takes the light. They go down, more dead than alive, and holding one
another, push open the door of the back shop. The cat has retreated close to it, and
stands snarling — not at them; at something on the ground, before the fire. There is
a very little fire left in the grate, but there is a smouldering suffocating vapour in the
room, and a dark greasy coating on the walls and ceiling. The chairs and table, and
the bottle so rarely absent from the table, all stand as usual. On one chair-back,
hang the old man’s hairy cap and coat.
“Look!” whispers the lodger, pointing his friend’s attention to these objects with a
trembling finger. “I told you so. When I saw him last, he took his cap off, took out
the little bundle of old letters, hung his cap on the back of the chair — his coat was
there already, for he had pulled that off, before he went to put the shutters up —
and I left him turning the letters over in his hand, standing just where that crumbled
black thing is upon the floor.”
Is he hanging somewhere? They look up. No.
“See!” whispers Tony. “At the foot of the same chair, there lies a dirty bit of thin red
cord that they tie up pens with. That went round the letters. He undid it slowly, leering and laughing at me, before he began to turn them over, and threw it there. I saw
it fall.”
“What’s the matter with the cat?” says Mr Guppy: “Look at her!”
“Mad, I think. And no wonder, in this evil place.”
They advance slowly, looking at all these things. The cat remains where they found
her, still snarling at the something on the ground, before the fire and between the
two chairs. What is it? Hold up the light.
Here is a small burnt patch of flooring; here is the tinder from a little bundle of burnt
paper, but not so light as usual, seeming to be steeped in something; and here
is — is it the cinder of a small charred and broken log of wood sprinkled with white
ashes, or is it coal? O Horror, he IS here! and this, from which we run away, striking
out the light and overturning one another into the street, is all that represents him.
Help, help, help! come into this house for Heaven’s sake!
