Please check your child’s Blog page as it contains  a ‘Meet the Teacher’ presentation.

This will allow you to get to know your child’s teacher before the parent/carer phone calls next week.

The Reading is Magic Festival begins this weekend.

Unfortunately the festival cannot be attended in person this year, however there are lots of reading related activities and workshops online.

Please visit https://www.readingismagicfestival.com/

We have used the above resource in school to assist our younger pupils with their phonics and early reading skills. It is a fun and engaging resource.

We have just received information that the resource is now free to download – details below.

To help you get back into the swing of things, we’re making Teach Your Monster to Read free to download from Wednesday.

We know it’s been a very challenging year and we hope to help out a little by giving you the entire series of award-winning literacy games for nothing.  

The not-for-profit app is approved by the government’s DfE Hungry Little Minds campaign and has been played by over 22 million kids across the world.

Once downloaded, there’s nothing else to pay. Please let your friends know so we can help their kids learn to read too. 

Oh, and if you want to play across a few devices, make sure you sign up for a free account at teachyourmonstertoread.com first. 

Download your Teach Your Monster to Read app between Weds September 16th and Tues September 22nd 2020:
