Dear Parent(s)/ Carer(s),
I would like to invite you to a Parents Open Evening on Monday 10th March at 18.00. The purpose of the evening is to make parents aware of the I-PAD “APPS” that we use in school to support teaching and learning, and to explain the educational benefits of using a program called Purple Mash. We have recently renewed our Purple Mash subscription and we want to redistribute passwords and user names to all pupils (Nursery – Year 6). (The Login relates to the year that your child’s cohort began nursery education).
Andy from 2 Simple (the company who created Purple Mash) will be available to demonstrate using the online program. The school has purchased the software to improve the following in a fun and engaging way;
• Further improve the standards of writing across the curriculum
• Engage all pupils (especially boys) in writing.
• Develop mathematical skills.
• Develop ICT skills across the curriculum.
• Further involve parents in school work and projects.
I am in the process of putting links from the news blog and all class blogs to the purple mash site for Pontyclun Primary School. The site is http://www.purplemash.co.uk/pontyclun
After the presentation we would like to invite parents to visit workshops where they can discuss APPS that are used in school that support teaching and learning. A full list will be sent to all parents next week so that parents who cannot attend on Monday receive the information.
Many thanks for your continuing support,
Mr. Llewellyn
