Firstly a massive congratulations to the children who reached their 420 target on TT Rockstars this week! This means you have mastered all the division and multiplication facts- 420 in total!!. We have a smaller group aiming to achieve this important milestone. Keep being resilient - plough on!!! Even though we practice in school daily - if you are on this journey give yourself 5-10 mins each day at home too - and you will crack it!
READING
Each year the children complete 4 star reader tests on the AR reading system- this gives them a reading age and measures progress. Those children shooting up to their targets are those making that progress. Being resilient, and focused and managing distractions when reading at home is the key - please continue to enjoy reading for pleasure!
