• We have not forgotten you!

  Thu 15 May 2014

  It has been nearly 10 days since the last news item and this is just a small note to say, 'We are still here and as busy as ever'.

   

  The restructuring of the iPads is going well and we already have the 'Choice iPads' back out in circulation. We hope to have a list of apps we are using in case you want to download any for use at home.

   

  There have been trips to the farm in years 1&2 and years 5&6 have been ponding dipping at Marston Forest centre this week.

   

   

   

• iPad changes

  Tue 06 May 2014

  We are making some big changes to how we organise our iPads in the coming weeks. We are taking everything off them and being more choosy about what we install back on them. 

   

  We hope to create 4 different accounts so when we add content it can go to the correct iPads. This will make it easy for children and adults to find what they are looking for. 

   

  We also hope to have a list of apps we use on our website very soon so you can add them at home.
