You will have workbooks to use during tutor time but you can work on these at any time!!
You will work in teams for the competition
There is a bit of fun involved as I have included a couple of games which I hope to come and see
Need to have display and presentation completed by 23rd March in front of your class and a class vote will decide on the best to be put forward to the judges.
Mr Evans and I will judge the final displays and presentations on 27th April -please put team names on rather than your own names so we can be more objective
