Welcome
Hi all,
This blog has been established for you to use throughout the year for homework tasks.
Each week you will be given different tasks for homework.
One task that you will have every week is reading. You should read for at least 15 minutes each night.
Each student has been given an area to post what they are reading and to also have the ability to write a few things about what you are reading.
As part of your homework each week you are required to add to you reading log. When you have completed the book/paper/magazine etc you should also write a review on your text.
I look forward to seeing what you are reading and to read your thoughts on a wide range of reading material.
Have fun,
Mrs Henshaw
