The literacy topic this term is about communication. I have sent you a variety of pictures of your families.
I would like you to use the colourful semantics made and I want you to start making sentences about who and what is happening in the pictures.
For the more vocal learners if we can get them to describe the pictures, who is in the pictures, what they are doing and where that would be brilliant.

I would then like you to look through some suggestions for different jobs and choose a job you could attempt in the future.
Tutorials
I would like all learners to attend the tutorial session each morning at 9:30am. It is a good session for all learners to see all other learners and staff and is also helpful for advocates as I go through the days sessions and resources.
