And we are back to school!

This week the students have been given a new way of writing notes which they can either have in their english notebook (preferably A4 format) or in a ring binder. Please make sure that the students are equipped with:

  •  glue 
  •  and that at home they have access to scissors and  coloured pencils.


Please make sure that for homework the colouring and cutting is done at home.
Glueing is only to be done in class to make sure they glue it the proper way

Ill be posting the papers on the blog so that if students loose or make a mistake they can print out the sheets again and start over.

Every week I will be posting the best kept notes and every month will select a winner in each class!
