School Launches TWITTER feed

This week our school has started to tweet for the very first time! 

We have sent home new consent letters to make sure that we have permission to use your children's photos on twitter and also on this new blog.

This will be an excellent way for us to share what is going on in the classroom - instantly with you!

The aim is for each class to tweet something every week 

(though at the moment the children are keen to tweet everyday!)

You can follow us on twitter by searching for...

We will also tweet to let you know that the blog has been updated.
