Easter work

Hi all,

As you are aware, there will be no formal Easter revision sessions for Biology. There will, however, be plenty of independent study tasks for you to work on during the hols!

Anne and I will let you know what you should be doing and we'll post further details to the blog at the end of next week.

The actual details of Recon 2 are above our level of study, but we can appreciate this project as an inspirational concept.
