Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

Well, welcome to 2021!

We hope you have all had a good rest during the Christmas holiday.

This week you will be learning online from TUESDAY 5th JANUARY.

The plan for each day is:

Our topic is still WW2 and this term we have several exciting tasks ahead:

You are very experienced in online learning, and did so well engaging last year...keep this up!

Home Learning for 2 Weeks

Hi all,

You have probably heard by now that you will need to work online from home over the next two weeks.  

This is a chance for you to use your online skills-using Google Classrooms, opening and handing in documents and using Teams meeting- that you have been developing over the last few months.

Below is an outline of how we will run the online learning this time.

Please always ask any questions you may have.

See you online tomorrow!
