Please encourage your children to access their Showbie accounts via the internet www.showbie.com 

or via the free ipad Showbie app.  It is a really useful way for them to keep in contact with me and 

with each other.  Please email me if there are any problems with the children accessing their account. 

Over the coming weeks I will be setting additional tasks for the children via this platform.
