Class Blog Launch

Dear Parents

Class Blog

We are pleased to be able to announce The Merit Blog has officially launched today. Your child has been emailed their login and password – all they need to do is:

1. Go to the ‘students’ section of the website
2. Click on ‘Home Learning’
3. Click on the links to Class Blog
4. Login using the menu button

The blog means that staff and students can share what they’ve been doing during lockdown, share pictures and comment on each other’s posts. This is an informal way for staff and students to keep in touch – there are already lots of funny posts and challenges on there and we would love all Merit students to get involved.

Competitions and weekly challenges

There are now regular competitions and a weekly challenge set on the Students’ section of the website. There will be £5 Amazon vouchers awarded for the winners and it is a great way to beat the lockdown boredom. This week there is The Merit Bake-Off competition and a creative challenge to design a Stokie Angel. Mrs Bleackley is also offering to donate money to help mental health charities if students take place in the 2.6/26 challenge.

Weekly Prize Draws

All students who complete their home learning will be placed in a prize draw each week to win an Amazon voucher. There have been 6 winners announced so far and we look forward to rewarding more students for their hard work. Keep the work coming in!

Thank you for your support – we hope you will check out the new updated Student section and encourage your child to join us and get involved in (virtual) school life.
