Colt Technology Sponsors Night Zookeeper Class Subscriptions

“Night Zookeeper has been a huge success for my Year 4 class. I have seen extremely reluctant writers use their free time to log into Night Zookeeper and complete additional writing activities – which is a feat I have often failed. I cannot express how wonderful it has been to have as a resource and would highly suggest it to any teacher or parent!”

Chloe Pereira, Year 4 Teacher – Bury and Whitefield Jewish Primary School

“The boys absolutely adore Night Zookeeper! They ask to use it every day and several of the boys I could see were using it over half term on a daily basis. They love the regular writing tasks and competing against each other. We have talked about the language they are using and how the punctuation they have employed in their writing is monitored. It has also been great for developing their keyboard skills. It has been a revelation to the development of their literacy and will feature on at least a weekly basis in our planning throughout the year!”

Vicki Riddell Year 3 Teacher – Caldicott School

“My students are enjoying writing and they are more motivated than ever! The leaderboard has helped with engagement as some students want to be top of the leaderboard with the highest number of words written. It has helped to generate really positive discussions about writing – children talk about each other’s writing and comment positively on the blog. It has also helped with the editing and improving stage of writing as they help each other to spot errors and areas to develop within their writing.”

Sally Derby, Year 4 Teacher – St Mary Magdalen’s School

“It’s been amazing to visit so many schools around the UK, from Scotland to Suffolk that have taken advantage of Colt Technology Services’ sponsorship. The impact it has had on student’s literacy has been clear to see, and it’s been great to get so much positive feedback from teachers who are using Night Zookeeper in the classroom.”
