Mid-April 2021 Newsletter Primary schools
Dear Colleagues In April we celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday! How are you planning to celebrate in your classroom? A fancy dress tea party? Poetry readings and mini performances? Or, ask your learners to do some research on interesting or lesser known facts about Shakespeare. They can report back orally or design a poster to convey the information. Here is also an interesting website that can be used for oral discussion: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/15-words-invented-by-shakespeare/
Reading / Literature Project
A NOVEL PROJECT has been designed to involve your learners with reading and to encourage appreciation of reading. Suitable for Grade 7 but can be adapted for lower grades.

MAKING THE GRADE ~ the ‘grown-ups’ guide to going to school
The Making the Grade series provides helpful and practical information for parents of pre-school and primary school children.
