Northumbrian Water and One Day Creative delivered a fantastic interactive workshop to Year 5 on the Ripple Effect. The children loved revising their year 4 topic on The Water Cycle and learning about The Ripple Effect through drama and songs. They worked in teams to problem solve and came up with great ideas for saving water!

| Read Write Inc Meetings – 15.9.22 |
Dear parents/carers,
We warmly invite you to a meeting about phonics and reading teaching within our school. We have changed how we teach reading within school and now use Read Write Inc to drive our phonics and English for our younger children. The meeting will be a chance to hear about the changes and how it works. We will make materials available for parents who can’t attend. Read Write Inc. is a popular phonics scheme. Like all phonics schemes, it teaches children the sounds in English, the letters that represent them, and how to form the letters when writing. Read Write Inc. Phonics includes reading books written using only the letters they have learnt at each level (and a small number of separately taught tricky words). The children will quickly feel confident and successful. The following video gives a quick overview of the programme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjlPILhk7bQ Many thanks |

This term marks the start of my Mortimer journey from 1992 as Miss Reay, student teacher. Then becoming a full time member of staff in 1993. For three decades, Mortimer Primary has been a huge part of my life and it continues to be an absolute honour and privilege to be part of the special and very unique Mortimer Family for so many years. I am so proud of the fact that I am Head Teacher of Mortimer Primary School.
ultimately for allowing me 30 years of fantastic pupils who are second to none. I am so honoured to have played a small part in all of your lives.
