Celebrating Our Largest Summer School Ever!
This year our Summer School was so full we needed extra space! Howard, Linda, Maxine and David would like to thank all the students for making our jobs so fun and rewarding. It really was a pleasure!
Everyone enjoyed earning stamps, stickers and prizes for their hard work. They all completed 10 hours of tuition and made lots of progress in just a week.
Many thanks to Michael Whitelock from P.S. Trampoline & Gymnastics who provided lots of afternoon activities including gymnastics, trampolining and tennis.

The deadline for all entries is Sat 8th September, to be handed in or posted to I Love To Learn Education Centres. Alternatively, email tutors@ilovetolearn.co.uk
Competition Judging Criteria:
- Originality of idea
- Use of language
- Imagination
- Development of characters/plot
Justin’s Top Tips for Writing
- Try and imagine a scene as your character would experience it. Showing the reader what the character sees/hears/tastes/smells/feels can be really powerful.
- Think about how things would be different for your character in their situation/historical period. What would they wear or eat? Would they go to school? How would they get about?
- Describing an everyday event from a different perspective can be really effective. A walk across a darkened room after the lamp has gone out can be an adventure in itself!
- If you have a hero and a villain, make sure the villain comes alive – villains can often be the most deliciously interesting characters to the reader.

Summer School Pics from 2017
Learning to Work Hard!
Learning does not stop when the summer starts. From 21-25th August we were joined by lots of enthusiastic students for our summer school. Some of the children did tuition in the morning and then went over to Priory School in the afternoons for sport; others just did tuition in the afternoons.
Here are some pictures we had taken of the morning students who worked really hard and had a lot of fun, as you can see. They all completed a full 10 hours of learning to set themselves up for the new term.
