Good morning S3, I hope you all managed to have a nice relaxing weekend and are ready to start week 3 of home learning.

We will be continuing with covalent bonding this week and I would like you to complete the following tasks by the end of the week;

• Work your way through the two PowerPoint presentations taking notes in your jotter and completing any tasks given. The first PowerPoint is on revision from the previous weeks work and the second is looking at the properties of covalent bonding (new work).
• Attend the live lessons. I will be holding 2 live sessions this week. The first one is on Tuesday Period 2 and I will be doing a revision lesson on how covalent bonds are formed as some people are still struggling with this. The second session will be on Friday Period 2 and this will be a tutorial session with a summary of what we have covered and a chance for you to ask me any questions from this weeks work.
• Complete the assignment – I will be setting a quiz again on Friday using the assignment feature in teams for you to complete. Your teacher will mark these and provide you with feedback. This will allow us to check your understanding of the topic.
