It would be lovely to see as many of you as possible on these meetings but please don't worry if you are not able to access it. As long as you have a go at the work set out on the website, then you are doing a great job.
Throughout the day, you can contact your teacher via Tapestry or via email. Please do get in contact if you are struggling with work and we'll be happy to help you.
