Hello families,
In recognition of Dyslexia Awareness Week, I would like to share some useful resources and websites to support our dyslexic learners.

If you feel that your child displays dyslexic tendencies, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Dear Families,
Please find a link below to a new therapeutic blog being run by two experienced play therapists. Parents, teachers and professionals are encouraged to send Yasmeen and Tash emails with their questions or concerns and they will use their expertise to suggest strategies to help.
The aim is simply a space to explore issues/dilemmas that we may be experiencing with our young ones.

Many thanks,
Mrs Mullaney
Hello families,
Many of the families that I support have communicated to me that their children’s sleep behaviour has changed during Lockdown. This is understandable however research shows that poor sleep negatively impacts behaviour and emotional regulation. Therefore I wanted to direct families to the Great Ormond Street website where there are lots of top tips for establishing good sleep hygiene.

I hope this is helpful.
Take lots of care,
Mrs Mullaney
