Anti-bullying competition
Well done and thank you to all those who took part in the anti-bullying poetry writing competition the last term. We had a huge number of entries and the standard was extremely high. Please come into the centre and read the ones which have been displayed!
Reading Challenge 2017
What’s happening this term?
The popular reading challenge is back! The theme for this year’s challenge is ‘The Big Friendly Read’
Is your child an avid reader? Or would you like to inspire them to read more? This year’s Reading Challenge is open to all Primary Plus, Upper Primary and Lower Secondary students. The challenge is to read six books by the end of term. Simply choose a book from the Reading Challenge Bookshelf, sign it out from a TA, read it and complete a special record sheet. When you return your book, you can choose another one. Everyone who completes the challenge will receive a special certificate.
Extra Writing Practice
Following some feedback from parents, we’ll be trialling a new system where students can do extra writing practice and get feedback from a teacher. Your child will be given a sheet with links to some online writing activities that they may do if they wish. Students can bring their completed work into the centre and the work will be marked. Your child will get a letter in week 5 explaining how it works in more detail.
Parent Workshop
6 and 7 May 2017: Primary Plus – From the magazine to the classroom!
Do you ever look at your child’s magazine and wonder what exactly is done in class? This workshop will demonstrate how teachers use the Primary Plus magazines to plan challenging and interesting lessons for your child. There will be lots of opportunities to ask questions!
