You certainly have been busy with your reading work while in lock down.  It is great to see you going right through the Marcus Thomas story.  I’ve been caving and didn’t really enjoy it that much.  

It is also great to see you start our novel study of ‘The Silver Sword.’ It would be great to see you continue with this work as we work at home before coming back to school.
