Good morning class!

This is our last week of this strange School Year.
I am not going to give more work during this week.

Have you delivered all your work and reached 100 % correct answers on the WEBBOOK?

You can work on Revision Units 1 (pages 45-46-47) and 2 (pages 85-86-87) if you want. It's volunteer, but it is a good idea in order to fix your knowledge.

Have you got undelivered work?
It's time to do it and send it to me before next Thursday 18th. It's important, so you have a week to do it.

And here's an End of School Year video. Don't forget to turn on the subtitles and enjoy.
