Bristol Merlin Matters Event

Dear Colleague,


I’m getting in touch to let you know about a free ICT event which is happening near you. We would love for you to come along to our Bristol Merlin Matters event and pick up some practical ideas for using Merlin in the classroom. Staff from Merlin schools around the area are coming along to St Patricks Primary on Monday 27th February from 4:30 – 6pm to share their best practice with Merlin and ICT. It is a free event to help raise awareness of good practice with ICT and Merlin around Bristol.


This meeting would give your school the opportunity to pick up some good ideas for practical uses of ICT and Merlin in the classroom. Also you’ll be able to set up collaborative links with schools nearby. As such we feel it would be a hugely beneficial event for staff from your school and others in the local area to attend, impacting on your use of Merlin now and in the future.


If you are interested then please do get in touch to let us know you’ll be attending by replying to this email. Sharon Lemon has very kindly let us host this event at St Patricks and we are very grateful for this.
