Announcement 10 August 2016

Dear all,

Updates for today:

Learnlogy assignments have been set for this week and next week.
There are simple assignments for Money and/or time. Hopefully, this will help to clear the mis-concepts in counting money (which can be quite confusing) for their learning.

Topics: Money and Time 

As we have not started on Time, the concepts in the learnlogy assignments are simple, based on P1's knowledge.

We will start on Time once we have completed Money next week.

The fringe benefits of failure and the importance of imagination.

A good listening/ watching as she talks why it is important to be humble even when life is difficult. And how important imagination is, especially for a writer.
