I'm not quite sure where Week 13 went...but welcome to Week 14 of Term 2! As promised last week, we will be get underway with our short story study, as soon as Miss Hay has prepared the assessment task, but the most important thing for us to achieve today, is to make sure that you have all uploaded the myHomework app at school (on your device), or if this isn't working due to connection problems, once you get home. This way you will have 24/7 access to the short story PDF file 'The Game of Cards' by Witi Ihimaera, together with the assessment task and any other pertinent information.
I've placed a link button to the student myHomework app below to get you started and also added a link button to the site that I will use called Teachers.io. This is really for the benefit of my colleagues who wish to utilize the same digital resource.
