Jan 6, 2010, PLEASE READ: Email Fault
Hi Everyone
First of all a Truly Happy New Year to you all.
We are just about back in the work swing - just have a week camping next week - then back into it.
Unfortunately, this week our main computer decided it had had enough ( must be my turn in the universe!!!!)
The ending is not tooo unhappy as we had backup - but of course we assumed we were backing up our email as well (should know by now never to assume anything!!!) but alas no email backup (mmmm - have learned from this!!)
So, this means we have lost most of your really, really important emails -
SO PLEASE - IF YOU HAVE EMAILED US IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND ARE WAITING ON A REPLY - COULD YOU PLEASE EMAIL US AGAIN WITH YOUR IMPORTANT QUESTIONS AND INFO AS WE DO NOT WANT TO OVERLOOK YOU. THIS ALSO INCLUDES A COUPLE OF OUR LOVELY CUSTOMERS WHO ASKED FOR SOME RESOURCES TO BE DEVELOPED RECENTLY , AND SOME LOVELY NEW PHOTO SUBMISSIONS...
Thanks so much for your understanding and please forgive us if we have not replied to your email over the last few days . We are almost back on track again (and my heart is just about beating in time again, after I remember to breathe!!!)
Cheers to you all....
Donna and Team

Dec 2, 2009, Question of the Month - Phonics Continuity
December 2009
Does this statement apply to your circumstances? "There appears to be a lack of continuity in phonics 'language' and instruction from one grade to the next within individual primary schools." Does your school have a plan that provides continuity in phonics 'language' and instruction right through the primary grades - if so can you share what phonics 'language' and instruction you use.....thankyou
