As you know, I am off work at the moment (my throat has now decided it doesn't like me and has made this very clear by causing me excruciating pain every time I swallow).
I have posted some thoughts on Show My Homework of what you should be doing over the "Holiday". Any problems, questions or queries, please email me (but perhaps wait a couple of days until my head decides to be my friend again...)

Continuity
I will post comments on all of the "Prisoner" projects over half-term.
After half term you will be beginning your first significant piece of practical work (i.e. work which contributes directly to your practical rather than planning mark). This is focused on continuity. I will be going over the key aspects of continuity during the lesson on Monday 3rd November, but if you want to do some preparation, the task is outlined below, as well as some helpful links.
