Review of the day – Friday 29th January 2021

Have an enjoyable, safe weekend.

Mr Hughes

Thank you to everybody who has sent me images of their work from yesterday. Unfortunately, the ‘Review of the Day’ isn’t as long as it should’ve been as I’ve accidentally deleted a lot of the slides, which is very frustrating for me, as it took a long time to put together. If your work from home is not part of the slideshow, please accept my apologies.

Here’s Thursday’s ‘Review of the Day’.

Thank you to everybody who has sent me their final typed draft of their stories today from home. If you are yet to send them in, please do so before the end of the weekend so that I can print them off in school on Monday to assess them. Thank you.

You can read the examples that I’ve been sent so far on your review of the day.

See you on Monday.

Mr Hughes

I’m exhausted! And the reason is I’ve spent a loooooong time uploading all of the work that you’ve produced at home and school today. You certainly have been busy! Maybe the miserable weather outdoors has helped you to make sure that you are up to date with your learning. Long may the rain continue!!

Here’s Wednesday’s Review of the Day. Enjoy!
