Day Three of the Back To School Books week, and I hope you’re really getting into the swing of it now.
Now, firstly, let’s not forget why we’re here; Collins Parents pages is totally worth a visit for any parent – they offer not only practical tips, but also what to expect at each stage of your child’s education and a boat load of useful resources. There’s also an online 25% discount for parents on all Back to School books, as well as information on the new curriculum and what it means for you.
Now, for Day Three we’re talking Key Stage 1 (that’s infant school for those of us elderly enough to remember such things… Judging by yesterday’s answers to your reading books question, there are a fair few of us still here!). And when I say that, I do mean the whole of KS1 – this is pretty much an entire Learning Library for 5-7yr olds.
There’s A Picture Atlas and Illustrated Dictionary. There’s Monster Practice activity books (these are SO much fun to complete), and there’s more serious study books in Maths & English which will be so brilliant to have on your shelf to run through any troublesome topics, or when you might need to go over school work, or to help with the homework in the right way (I think we all know we tend to do maths differently to the way our children are taught, and we often end up adding confusion when we try and help!).
And on top of the book bundle, Collins are throwing in a fantastic ‘My First Microscope’ – ideal for investigating paper, cloth, plants, hair or paper. Easy-to-use, it features two large eyepieces, eliminating the need to close one eye, and an LED light to enhance the clarity of the image. All the images appear right-side up and left-right correct for easy understanding. The chunky design of this fully functional microscope is especially for little hands and is perfect as a child’s first microscope.
So how to enter and win this fabulous bundle of fabulous worth over £80? Why just use the magickery below! First three options are compulsory, then there’s the usual extras for showing some love on the interwebs if you feel so inclined.
The closing date for this competition is, of course, midnight tonight the 2nd September 2015; only entries received on or before that date and time can be included. The winner will be the first randomly chosen entry. Good luck!
