“A Raising Attainment Evening A Success
February 6, 2013 by
I was most impressed with the talk last night, and think that the pupils who have been selected to be on this programme are privileged.
Thank you for taking this approach for these learners.
All children and parents should be aware of this method.
I’m even thinking of applying it myself for my work. (Storytelling!)
Is it possible to purchase the 3×5 ring bound cards from the school, or can you suggest a source. I have my own flip chart luckily.
Once again, I really appreciate this innovative and encouraging approach. A breath of fresh air. Thank you Mr. Horberry, our children are in good hands with you!
