Hello Dolphin Class!

Dear Dolphins,

Well, we have come to the end of term four.  Where has the time gone? 

We know that this is an unusual way to end the term and we hope that you are all enjoying this special time with your family.

Miss Gates and Mrs Gadd have come up with some fun activities for you and your families to take part in during the Easter break.  We would love to see photos of your antics so please do email them to Dolphin@aldington.kent.sch.uk.

We hope that you enjoy your Easter break and we're hoping for sunny days and lots of outdoor fun.

Take care Dolphins - Happy Easter!

Love,

Mrs Gadd and Miss Perkins 

Teach Your Monster to Read.

This fantastic app is an award-winning phonics and reading game that's helped millions of children.  Children love making their monster and teaching it to read.  Children create a monster and take it on a magical journey over three extensive games - meeting a host of colourful characters along the way and improving their reading skills as they progress.

The games complement  Phases 2-5 of the UK Government approved Letters and Sounds which is the scheme the school use to teach phonics.

For a limited time the app is free!  It usually costs £4.99 so this is a real opportunity.

There is also a free website too:

The Adventures of Echo the Dolphin.

Echo smuggled himself in Mrs Gadd's bag and has been helping out in the Gadd household.  He has been having fun with Arthur making a fairy garden and enjoying the sunshine.  He has been helping Mrs Gadd with her work and has enjoyed reading all of the emails coming in from his Dolphin Class friends.  Echo has been keeping a close eye on Mrs Gadd's bean plant.  Look at how much it has grown in a week! Echo says that is is 19cm tall.  How tall is yours?
