How to return this work to us for your Form Tutor to read

Alongside this transition booklet, there’s a special booklet from

our Chaplain, Miss Keogh. In it you’ll find more activities to do,

such as learning about the history of our church and the simple

daily prayers when we celebrate together at Oaklands.

You don’t have to send that booklet back to us.

This activity book that you’ve written in and completed should be

returned in the post to Mrs Over.

Your Form Tutor will read the work you’ve done and write you a

comment.
