Salford's Happy Facts worksheet
Our Schools Resources Team has developed a two-page worksheet to help pupils choose a topic, understand the structure of a fact - and how to make sure it's true!
Could you share our campaign with parents and carers?
We'd love if you could support our work within Salford's communities by sharing the Salford's Happy Facts campaign within your school newsletter. We know that the home learning environment is just as important as the work happening in school - so we are providing tips and advice on our Salford Facebook page for parents to try at home with their children. From encouraging trips to the library, to exploring the neighbourhood in a quest for Happy Facts, there's lots that families can do to get involved too.
We've drafted a template article which you may like to include in your newsletter - but please feel free to edit this as needed for your school.
