Hello to our new community, and welcome to the official release of our newsletter! You’re here because you want to support your child’s learning as effectively as possible, we’re here because we know how difficult that can be.
A big thank you to those families who signed up for the pre-release of our newsletter and have been our guinea pigs over the past few months 🙂
Happy learning!

Last Month’s Learning
Thank you to all those who took the time to send us their beautiful photos from last month’s Maths focus, ‘In The Kitchen’. So great to get your feedback and see so much authentic and meaningful learning taking place.
From top left to bottom right…

This month’s spot light is shining brightly on Charlie…
Charlie is 11 and creative writing is his thing! He saw this project as an opportunity for his writing to be heard by a wider audience and a means for non-readers to access good quality story-telling. We packed so much meaningful learning into this one! Enjoy!
Think our project-based approach could work for your child?
Welcome Helena!
This month we have been in the company of children’s author Helena Pielichaty. She’s been reviewing and feeding back on some of our aspiring story writers’ projects as well as giving us a peek into her world.
Look out for this content on our socials!

New Focus
‘Public Transport’
‘Read accurately by blending sounds in unfamiliar words’
Blending and reading station signs, announcement boards, posters, peoples’ t-shirts, graffiti…
‘Making inferences on the basis of what is being said & done’
Look around, it’ll to be a hub of activity with so much going on and so much inferring to be done!
‘Familiarisation with non-fiction text structured in different ways’
Timetables, posters, adverts, etc. They don’t need to understand it all, they just need to experience it.
