Week of Planning, by Miss Reynolds
Date: 30th Apr 2020 @ 12:59pm
Hello lovely Bongos!
A parent has just brought to my attention that the work for this week never uploaded onto Seesaw, so I've uploaded all the files you need here in a dropbox file instead because it's too big to upload directly to the blog. You can upload work that you'd like me to see to Seesaw, but you by no means have to put it all on there. I will give as much feedback as I can, so if you send clear pictures or videos, I will try to get back to you ASAP. If you have any issues at all, don't forget you can always contact me on the bongos email address on weekdays between 9-12. bongos@longton.lancs.sch.uk.
Hope you're all keeping safe and happy!
