I hope you have all had a lovely long weekend and have been enjoying playing in the snow. As we only have 2 days left this week we will be focusing on consolidating what we have learned so far about Covalent Bonding. I have made 4 short recorded lessons for you to watch on everything we have learned so far and these can be found in Teams. The tasks I would like you to complete this week are;

1. Watch the 4 recorded lessons on Covalent Bonding and complete any suggested activities. These can be found in the files section of your class Team under week 5.
2. Complete the assignment task on Teams
3. Attend the drop-in tutorial session if you are struggling with covalent bonding or if you would just like more practice this will take place at 9.45am Thursday 11/2/21.

There will be a live lesson on Thursday 11th at 10:45am.  Please bring your jotter and your paragraph on human population growth.

All classes have finished unit 2 key area 6.  Pupils should complete and submit their assignment before next Friday 12/2.  Past papers on 2.6 can be found at the end of the PowerPoint 2.6 in class notebooks – please try these questions during Thursday and Friday next week.
