Good Morning to you all...
Week 1 - Term 2
MONDAY 27th April 2020
Mathematics
We're starting the week with some revision using individual Question Banks in Maths Online. This means what you see when you log on, is unique to you. Each student is working at a different level. The questions are drawn from the tasks you were working on last term ok? Go to the Quick Links tab at the top of the page to log on and get started. Remember to do this completely on your own. If someone helps you, your results will not reflect your true ability and if you're having trouble then I won't know and won't be able to help you. If you make an error, I'll be able to see that in the data and know how to help you. Help me to help you by sticking with this and remember making mistakes are proof you are learning.

LAST OF ALL....
I would like an email from all students please giving me some feedback on how you went OK? What went well? How could it be improved? Were you able to be an independent learner once you got started? I'm really proud of all of you - top job for hanging in there!
I'm not 100% sure of how the timing and complexities of this week will work out but I'll keep adjusting things as we progress.
JOKE OF THE WEEK: Question: Why are fish so intelligent? Answer: Because they're always in schools.
