TODAY'S LESSON
Is your last chance to complete the Foundation Portfolio's.
You MUST have all evaluations completed and uploaded to your FP bogs. I recommend that if you have not finished them you use the time to write them up and put in as a typed post - it isn't the best but it is something.
I will be checking all your blogs work and looking for problems - please act on the advice I give you.
