Next, Zoë once again did another recap of the work we needed to do. I cracked on by adding a conclusion to U14_A1T2, then I started and completed the distinction work for U14_A1T3. I submitted this and had completed all outstanding work.

I then spoke to Adam, Fergal and Connor more about the End of Year Show. We planned more, prioritised things and even managed to persuade most of the class to go, hopefully! I am excited and will explain more in future.
