Hi all,

The work for the next fortnight has been given to the pupils. We suggest that you engage in the work with your child daily. We have attached an outline of the work and a suggested plan for each day/week. The comprehension questions will be uploaded in a separate blog post.

With regards to assessment, we will be correcting the work when it is returned. A Maths assessment will be completed each week in the back of their Master your maths book. The SESE project will be assessed through the video presentation.
