The school recently purchased Clicker 7 – thanks very much to our very generous Parent Council.

We only just received the software before the school closed, therefore didn’t have much of an opportunity to get to know it very well.

“Clicker is the complete writing solution for the primary classroom, providing every pupil with just the right level of support and challenge.” (Quote from the Clicker website).

It is installed on all of our desktop computers and will be available for use on return to school.

However we have managed to gain a month’s free access for staff and pupils at home. This allows access to Clicker 8 (we have Clicker 7 in school) to let the children have a ‘play about’ with the software to see all of the fabulous writing tools that it has.

Please follow the link below for installation:

If you are interested in downloading and using Clicker, please email Mrs Cross for the unique installation code. We are not allowed to share this on Glow as it is a public platform.

The UK’s first ever online festival to help the nation with numbers is available right now on www.numeracyday.com

The Festival is being kicked off by National Numeracy Ambassador Rachel Riley, with later appearances from the likes of Martin Lewis, Bobby Seagull, Lauren Child reading from her Charlie and Lola and Ruby Redfort maths-focussed books, Carol Vorderman answering questions about unlocking maths confidence, Maths for Mums and Dads author Rob Eastaway sharing tips on how to teach maths at home, the Bank of England’s Andy Haldane helping with household finance and more. Even Amazon’s Alexa will be joining in by answering questions about numeracy.

The National Numeracy Day Virtual Festival covers three areas people want support with during this challenging time: helping children; personal development; and getting to grips with household finance. It aims to help everyone feel a bit better about their number skills.

Why not see for yourself!
