Homework
This week the homework is a gentle introduction and hopefully a manageable task. Put simply I would like the children to log in to their MS Teams accounts and identify the assignments section. From here I would then like the children to complete the Forms task reviewing their week. For most of the children hopefully this will just be a refresher on how to log into teams and finding an assignment.
Should there be any issues then there is a copy of the quiz below.
