Manor Road Primary School
Dear Parents
It will soon be Literacy Week here at school and as in previous years we intend to deal with your child’s reading and writing skills in the context of a motivational theme. And the theme for this year’s literacy week is ‘superheroes’! During the week your child will carry out a variety of tasks to help them develop their reading and writing skills. Children will produce artwork, videos, podcasts, drama performances, pictures, books and DVDs.
They will also create imaginative pieces of writing full of interesting characters and plots. We can’t wait to see all their work on show in the school reception and main school hall in the coming weeks. There will also be a competition for which prizes will be awarded. What can you do to help? Please get involved with what your child is doing. At the end of the day ask them what they’ve been involved in and, if you have the chance, help them with their superhero homework tasks like finding information on the Internet or from books in the library.

Friday 19th October is ‘Dressing-Up Day’ and your child can come into school dressed as their favourite superhero.
The week will end with parents being invited into the school hall on Friday 19th to view the children’s work. Classes end at 3.00 as usual but the school will be open from 2.00 p.m. and parents will be able to take their child home early if they wish. We look forward to what we think will be a very creative week!
With best regards
Margaret Maclean
