Hi Biggies,
I hope you and yours are all well.

Please take you time reading this. Listen to the audio if it helps. Ask someone else to read it with you if that helps too.

I’ve seen most of you online this week either in Teams or your e-Portfolio posts. If you can please do one of the following:

  • Post to your e-Portfolio
  • Leave a message in teams
  • Leave a comment on this blog post
  • e-Mail me at gw09johnstonjohn4@glowmail.org.uk

Even if it is just to let us know how you are and that you are getting this.

I can also see that some of you have been doing a little sumdog and Readtheory, let’s try and do a bit more this week.

If you have had a problem with anything let me know.

This week I hope that you try a wee bit more work.
