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:

What a beautiful morning to welcome back the first half of our P2-P7 pupils – we missed you all!

A special welcome to our new P1 pupils who were all looking so smart and ready to learn.

We can’t wait to greet the second half of our pupils tomorrow. Let’s hope the sun is still shining.

EAC Psychological Services have prepared a return to school guide for the parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We hope you find it useful.

Please note that it was created during the summer break and before the latest return to school announcements so some of the guidance may not now be the most up-to-date.

Parent Guidance Return to school

We would like to wish all of our pupils, parents/carers, extended families and staff a fond farewell for now!

The best of luck to our P7 Leavers – we believe in you and trust that you will take forward all of the learning and values from all of your years at primary school.

We hope everyone takes care over the summer break and we cannot wait to see you all in August!

Best Wishes

Mrs Cross and Ms Dougan x
