The children tried hard to complete the teapot challenge yesterday and I think they were better than the teachers that gave it a go too.
Well done to Daniel Allen (Y6D) who has become a Word Millionaire on Accelerated Reader during school closures.
When asked about his success, Daniel said “Accelerated Reader, I think is one of the greatest reading apps as it not only allows you to read new books you may never have chosen before, but it rewards you – like giving you points and unlocking achievements. I am really proud of becoming a Word Millionaire. I’m sure everyone can achieve that milestone“.
Congratulations Daniel. This is a fantastic achievement and shows a huge commitment to his progress as well as a love for reading.

Congratulations Y5J!
