Hello Students,
I hope you and your families enjoyed a nice long weekend. It is as good as it gets in February.
This week I will post work for you to do twice:
- This post contains a short lesson, and skill-using exercises in preparation for assessments. It is important for you to do this work so you can ask your teacher questions you may have and receive feedback on your work.
- The next post, posted on Thursday, will contain the actual first set of assessments on the topic of Health Issues.
