Category : 9 Homework & FIX
All year 8 students have been set a personalised set of mymaths activities for the two week break.
These are designed to stretch, introduce new concepts or prepare students for FIX when they return to school.
To login, student use: xpschool rectangle137. To access “my portal” they have a 3 digit username and 3 letter password.
Students should complete the online lesson first for each activity before they attempt the homework task. They should aim to get 80%.
The deadline is 8pm on Monday 6th March. Most students have enough exercises to do around one per day over the two week break, so please encourage your son or daughter to do little and often. Each exercise typically takes around 20 mins.
If internet access is going to be a problem, if your son or daughter is struggling with the work, has lost their username and password or if they have any other problems, please get them to email me on [email protected]
Thanks
All year 8 students will be working on the final product which is a result of their hardwork, research and presentations this term. Tomorrow students will begin building the sustainable urban drainage system to help relieve some of the surface water on the school grounds. Students will be working outdoors and will need their fieldwork gear: warm clothes, casual clothing that they don’t mind getting a little dirty wellies/work boots.
Well done everyone in year 8 on a great expedition and fantastic final product!
