Our new topic, which we will be starting next week, will be ‘Tomorrow’s World’. Please the attached sheet showing some of the things we may be doing over the next three weeks during our SOLE sessions. At home, over the next 3 weeks you must complete an activity/series of activities that total at least 15 points. How you choose to do so is up to you! For example, you may just complete the fifteen-point activity or may choose to do one ten and a five-point activity; you could also choose to do three five-point activities – it is completely your choice! Have a look at the activity menu below:

15 points	10 points	5 points
