Period 2, Tuesday 25

Morning. Sorry I can’t be in your lesson, and will also miss the lunch time session. Please pick any of the essays you feel you are weakest on, and plan or plan and write them from the list on here from before half term. You can also catch up with any extra reading from the blog, or if you are in the position where your coursework needs some TLC, you can also do that. Just please use your time wisely! Any essays to mark can go in my tray outside the English office and I’ll have them marked for Friday. Again, sorry about this. Ms Cope
