Background information for teachers
As for the morning activities, teachers will probably want to organise the following activities in their own way. However, there follows a suggested timetable of how the activities could be implemented in the time available. As before, this timetable assumes that there are at least 3 computers with internet access available, and that preferably there are one or two other adults available.

Finish the afternoon with a presentation of creative work.
