Dear Parent/Carer,
Half Term Homework – Year 7
As we approach the forthcoming break, we wish to acknowledge the diligence and commitment demonstrated by our Year 7 students throughout this last module. Their sustained effort and positive engagement with their studies is commendable. While the half-term break provides a well-earned opportunity for rest and recuperation, it is essential that students also use this time productively to remain focused on their academic progress and to ensure continuity in their learning.
All students have been assigned compulsory holiday homework in each subject area. These tasks have been uploaded to their respective Google Classrooms and are detailed below. Students are expected to complete the work in a structured and timely manner over the course of the break. We would greatly appreciate your continued support in reinforcing the importance of fulfilling these academic responsibilities.
