Good morning everyone,
I hope you are getting on well with the work I'm setting.
Remember the more you are able to do at home the more confident you will be when you return to school. So if you can, please try to keep up with the tasks set. I know lots of you are doing other learning with your parents too- which is brilliant.
This is the work for the whole week. If you require more then please have a look at other lessons on the Bitesize and Oak Academy websites. Please also remember that Mrs Last is still adding French work to her folder for you to attempt.
Take care everyone.
Mr Williams
