Daily Work
Whilst school is closed, the best way for us to work and learn together is on our Microsoft Team. However, just in case you are having problems logging on to your Hwb or Microsoft Team, every day, I will also drop the work I have set for you here. As I mentioned before, if you are having any problems and need a helping hand, e mail me on my e mail address and I will get back to you.
Stay safe,
Mr Zaplatynski
