Year 9

Welcome back everyone. 
This term we are going to be reading a novel by Mildred D Taylor entitled, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.  If you miss work because you are absent from lesson then all you need to do is look on this blog and you'll find a summary of what you missed so you can catch up.

HOMEWORK
Homework will be set and due every Monday. You will usually have a week to complete it but if there is no school on Monday - for example if it is a bank holiday - there will be no homework collected that week.  Please read the separate advice page about homework as following these guidelines will make sure that you do not fall behind with your work. If, for any reason, you cannot hand your homework in on time, then you can complete it during the lunch break on the day that it is due in.
