It would be good if you could join the meeting with your video and audio enabled.
SEE YOU ON TUESDAY FROM 11.00 - DON'T WORRY IF IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET SET UP.
I THINK ZOOM  IS MORE USER FRIENDLY THAN MICROSOFT TEAMS.

Here's a fun alternative quiz you can do - you can customize different activities and write your own test 

Spot the two rather tasteless questions for which I apologize. 

here's a mad, fun, partly serious quiz you can do based on the work we've done. It will let you customize your own test questions as well.

This new Netflix German/US production is worth watching with your parents and grandparents.  It probably is not suitable for younger viewers as there are scenes dealing with the pressures on young ultra-orthodox newly-weds to begin having children straight away,
Year 13 Media Students will be interested to know that the series was co-written and produced by Anna Winger who co-wrote Deutschland 83.  The director is Maria Schrader who plays Lenora in Deutschland 83.  You can see these talented people being interviewed in The 'Making of' episode.
