Dear Mr. Shillito,

The links on the CXCITTheory site to "This Intranet Link" and also "Robots in Industry" are not connecting. I have tried to access both links, at home and in my office over the past week, to no avail. Perhaps you could provide an alternate link for N.E. to do her project work.

Thank you for your assistance.

Mrs.S. L. E.

The intranet and robot links ONLY work inside school. Students need to use the intranet at lunchtime or after school.
