Verbal Feedback

As many of you know, we do not give our children written feedback about their work. Instead of writing in children's books, we make time to talk to them in person. Here's an example of work from this week, where a conversation between teacher and pupil aided progress in the pupil's understanding.

The Christmas tree shone,
As brightly as an angel,
Gliding down smoothly.

The heart-warming sound,
Of a ice cream van calling,
As the children scream!

Snow tick and crunchy,
Just like sweet, golden Cornflakes,
On a cold, misty morning.

I ate my porridge,
I put brown sugar on it,
I loved my porridge!

I found Nutmeg fun,
She was cute, ginger and white,
And was soft 'n' warm.

Except winter is coming,
Brace yourself for cold!

                                       The Life of Emma Watson

Introduction

In Paris 1990, on April 15th British actress, fashion icon, women’s rights campaigner and model, Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born. Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (Emma Watson for short) first started her career in 2001 when she played Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, when she was only 11. At that time, she wasn’t living in Paris, but in Oxford as her parents, who were lawyers, were British. In 2014, she achieved the best British Style award. By 2019, she’s already in 22 movies.

Early Life

Jacquelin and Christopher Watson, who are divorced, are Emma’s parents. When they separated, Jacquelin took Emma and Alex -her brother- where else Christopher took Toby, Lucy and Nina (Emma’s siblings). Emma, her brother and her mother moved to Oxford after (Emma was only 5 years old at that time) and she attended Dragon School with her brother. She had a normal childhood, which means she wasn’t wealthy, at school and was social, liked art and was sporty. Years later, her teachers saw Emma as she was practising a play and thought she was an amazing actor and they recommended that she should audition for Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Sorcerer’s stone in other countries). The more she acted, the better she got even though she had no prior acting skills (had no TV experience). 1000s of girls applied but Emma beat them all by doing 8 auditions, and finally Emma got the part Hermione Granger, Harry Potter’s nerdy friend. As Emma Watson was born on April 15th, that means that her zodiac sign is Aries.

Harry Potter

JK Rowling, author of Harry Potter, said that on Emma’s first audition that she should’ve been Hermione. She also said that Emma’s personality was just like Hermione’s. The film producers stated that Emma was professional, as she always knew where the cameras were, even though she never acted -only in plays. They also said that she was bossy, precocious, a know-it-all and a bit of a nerd. 3 months after the premiere of the first movie, they started filming Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. When they were making it, Emma was only 11 and 2 of her teeth fell out so she had to wear dentures (false teeth). When it finished, she was 12 years old and already had 2 very successful Harry Potter films. In 2005, when Emma was 15, she was the youngest ever person to be on the cover of Vogue magazine. The more she grew up, the more famous she got. Emma was becoming a teen idol, a role-model and best friends with Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe (Ron Weasley and Harry Potter). She earned over £35 million for the Harry Potter movies.

Post Harry Potter

After Harry Potter, Emma went to Brown University, as she didn’t finish her education, in Rhode Island in America. She actually got bullied for being in Harry Potter but they were probably just jealous of her successful acting career. Her modelling career started during Harry Potter - 2005- but now she models for Burberry and Lancome. 2014 is when her fashion career started when she achieved the best British Style award and she won against lots of famous people like Kate Moss and David Beckham. Also in 2014, Emma was the ambassador for the women’s rights campaign. She’s now a social activist and in 2015 she was the 26th most influential women in the world. This year (2019) she is going to be in a new movie called Little Women. Her net worth is £63million ($80million) and has 25 awards but was nominated 35 times.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Emma Watson is a very influential woman and an inspiration to all her age. She has unquestionably become a sensational actress, a phenomenal fashion icon, an astonishing campaigner and a stunning model.
