In Year 8 English, long run-on sentences and missed paragraph breaks when writing dialogue made it hard to follow who was speaking—"needs to break paragraphs every time someone new talks."

In maths, a Year 8 student who previously hesitated over simultaneous equations managed to solve problems using substitution methods unaided for the first time—he even explained his working aloud as he went through each step.
