Log into Frog and go to the ‘Your Assignments’ section; at the start of each lesson you will find the task set for the subjects you have on Thursday and/or Tuesday.

You will need to follow your normal timetable for the day/week and everything you need to complete each assignment will be on Frog.

The assignments will be called ‘LESSON (1,2 etc) WORK FOR THURSDAY 27 APRIL or TUESDAY 2 MAY’.

If there is no work set for a lesson(s) then go to the assignment called ‘(YOUR) YEAR GROUP ADDITIONAL WORK FOR THURSDAY 27 APRIL or TUESDAY 2 MAY’ and there will be a list of suggested activities and links for you to access.
