Now what? 

Come and pick up a worksheet. If you're at home, you can find it in materials in Teams. Let me know if you can't find it so I can put it in the chat instead. 
Finish the worksheet now - if not finished, it is homework for Friday. We'll check it in Friday's lesson. 

Done? Put it somewhere safe so it doesn't magically disappear before Friday and get to work in Holmwood's. 

I will share this lesson with you. People who find this difficult can watch the video and do some online exercises. You can find both on the next slides.
