A recent news story has detailed how 10 Nepalese climbers have managed to reach the summit of K2 in the middle of winter.
We have prepared a recorded powerpoint to share this news with the children. There is an assembly video contained in the powerpoint.
This week is National Storytelling Week and we have created a fun quiz (mostly for the younger children) to take part in.
Click on the link below to take part. Remember to watch the story at the end.
Please send me a photo of you enjoying a story/book this week and I will post it on Twitter for everyone to see. Enjoy!

Every count is important so, if you don’t see anything, please still submit your result. Finding out which birds don’t visit your area is as important as understanding those which do!

Please find below an EXCELLENT powerpoint presentation designed to help parents with developing their child’s speech sounds.
We know that this is a really important development area for children and can be tricky to know what to do if your child is having speech sound difficulties.
You will need to download the powerpoint to be able to hear the clips. Viewing the powerpoint is not enough and will not let you access the ‘voice over ‘ sections. All children from P3-7 can access Microsoft Office for free by downloading it through GLOW.
