COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE, LITERACY AND INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

Preston Park were selected to participate in the CLLICT project in January 2008.  Led by Nursery Manager, Mrs Humes and Miss McFarlane in Reception, this project focuses on raising achievement in speaking and listenng and communication through the use of information, communication and technology resources.  Children have been learning to use controllable bugs, voice morphers, mp3 recording aliens, metal detectors, digital camcorders and much more!

DITCH YOUR CARS

Preston Park is a Travel Plan School.  We encourage our parents, carers and children to either walk to school or use public transport as opposed to commuting by car.  Not only do these modes of transport allow for additional physical activity, they also demonstrate how much we value our environment and the health and safety of our school and local community.

MONDAY 19TH MAY, 3.30PM

Preston Park have been collaborating with the E-learning Foundation to introduce an innovative scheme which will enable every child in Year 4 to have access to an electronic device at home and at school!  Children will be able to consolidate skills learnt within lessons, access their managed learning environments and continue to share their learning with their teachers, peers, parents and carers at home through what has already proven to be a motivating medium for learning. 

We look forward to welcoming all our Year 4 children and parents to the launch evening.

Children at Preston Park can now enjoy listening to one of over 150 stories through our e-Media ipod library collection.  This medium encourages engaging with texts whilst also building on children's awareness of how different multimedia technologies can be used to our advantage. 

With assistance from the National Lottery and Awards For All, we have been fortunate to be able to purchase resources and equipment to enable children to communicate what's happening within our school and surrounding area with you.  This project is having a positive impact in developing children's speaking and listening, communication and digital literacy skills.
