Coursework help....
... is available every Tuesday after P6 (you can come from 3.30 if you don't have a lesson). It will be held in E21 so we have access to computers and the internet for all your coursework needs.
After coursework submission, this will become a wider reading forum to give you extra details for your summer exam. A letter will go home about this in due course.
Have a good weekend!

What did you really think of the end of Spies?
I know that my class had some pretty mixed reactions to the final chapters of Spies, but I - for one - thought it was brilliant. What's your view? Did it meet your expectations, or is there another way Frayn could've finished his story?
