The link below will take you a book that can be shared with your children to help them understand what is taking place in the world with Coronavirus. It is vitally important that we talk about this with our children in order to help them make sense about what is happening.

Morning, we just wanted to send this reminder again as we are continuing to move towards working with ClassDojo. Keep checking your emails for the request to join that are being sent out by your child's teacher. Please let us know if there are any issues with this. Thank you once again for your support in setting this system up.

Ahead of his 100th birthday celebration, war veteran Captain Tom Moore set himself the challenge of walking 100 laps of his garden to help raise money for the NHS.

Please share this resource with your children to raise awareness of his fantastic achievement.

As we head in to the weekend we wanted to share a special message for all our wonderful families from the staff at Walverden.

Please use the link below to view Mrs Sarchet reading a story for your children to listen too.

We just wanted to share a link to a page called Mantra Lingua. They have a online library that can be accessed currently for free where stories can be read and heard in different languages. The description below is taken from their website.

At Mantra Lingua we too are trying to help households where the Home Language is not English. We have one of the largest library of dual language ebooks in the world. Currently, there are over 550 books and 38 languages. Each book is read aloud in English and your Home Language. There are folk tales, myths, stories of multi-cultural life here in the UK and reference books. Each book has a video and a set of activities to help build your child's English language skills. The library covers reading ages from 3 to 15 years, so other members of your family can also access and enjoy.

The link is attached for you to be able to access this resource. We hope you find it helpful.

As a school we work with Burnley Football Club and as a result of this link we have been sent a link for an activity pack that can be used at home with your children.

The activity pack is designed for all primary aged children and includes activities to sit and do as well as some to get you moving. Please see here for the pack: https://www.burnleyfccommunity.org/download-our-activity-packs/

If you go on to Twitter (@BurnleyFC_com) there are also activity videos from the school coaches for families to try. We love any videos back from the children giving them a go too!  

Morning everyone we have refunded all trips that were due to take place over the coming months. Parents will need to log in their accounts and make a withdrawal for the money to go back into their bank accounts. The link below shows you how to do this.
