November 2024

Well done to all those who completed the final SEAG test on Saturday. It’s been a tough journey for parents and pupils but you have all worked so hard and at least can look forward to the countdown to Christmas. As a result of your hard work we will pause homework until the beginning of January.

We will continue to use Google Classroom  as a link between the classroom and home. If you are not able to access this then please contact me at school.

Year 7 have been using Accelerated Reader to monitor and motivate reading throughout the year. The pupils  complete an online test after every book they read and their progress is ranked and measured each week. This reading initially takes place in school every day for at least 20 minutes. As the term has progressed some children are taking their books home but still are only able to test in school. Each Friday children’s progress will be shared with the class and celebrated through house points, certificates or prizes in our termly reading draw.

Swimming lessons begin on Thursday 5th December for one week only and the remaining 9 lessons will be in January.

Mrs McCready and I have loved working with the pupils this year and are looking forward to enjoying the pupils' final two terms at Ebrington Primary School.
