Hi everyone in Eucalyptus Class,

I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather even though you still need to stay safe and stay alert! Here is some more work for you to do at home (Just click on the files beneath this message). There are printed packs available at Athelney for those who want them. If you like you can just write the answers on paper or in a notebook at home. You do not need to send the work back to school. Well done to those of you who have been doing your online learning work, I am proud of you. If you have not done so yet, you still have a chance to go on the websites, see the links below.

I look forward to seeing you in school soon.

Enjoy yourself but still continue to stay safe.
