Reception updates

Numbots competition:

Dear all, thank you so much for working incredibly hard on Numbots during the last 12 weeks. We had a trial of a new competition that we created which Year 3 completed before half term on TTrockstars with great success. Therefore, we are going to role this out to the rest of the school. 

The competition is based on progress made on Numbots. This is not about how many coins you collect or how long you are on Numbots. We recommend children to only go on for around 5-10 minutes several times a day as oppose to a solid hour. Children learn better this way and won't be on devices as often. 

The two pupils from this class decided by the Class teacher and Mr Worton-Geer will decide who will receive the prize of £5 Amazon voucher!

The start date is Monday 8th June 2020 and will end on Friday 3rd July 2020. Mr Worton-Geer will personally ring the winners. We will update you regularly. 

Remember, try your best - we want you to become confident with your number facts. 

Enjoy!

Mr Worton-Geer
