SLC2 have been learning all about the colours in their Spanish lessons. Today they were using Linguascope to practice matching the colours from Spanish to English, and using the playdough to practice how to spell the Spanish colours.

Dyslexia Friendly School – Wear it Blue!
As part of our No Pens Wednesday on the 4th of October each pupil will be asked to come to school wearing something blue! This doesn’t have to be their normal blue school jumper – it can be anything! The more adventurous the better!
Throughout that day and leading up to it we will have blue ribbons on sale that can be yours in exchange for a small donation.
Let’s break down the barriers to learning together.
