Weekly work

Weekly exercises begun in class on Wednesday are to be completed in your own time and submitted to the office by 12:00 on the following Monday.

The purpose of these exercises is to prepare for the examination; you do not need to fill out a cover sheet for them because they do not carry any marks.
