Mathletics and Eggspress

Room Three is trialing the Mathletics and Eggspress programme. These are designed to align with work we are doing in class. Students will have access to this at school and at home, which will benefit their education by reinforcing the learning done in school lessons.
Students will gain points for completing tasks, with the goal of gaining 'Bronze' each week.
Congratulations to the following students who gained Bronze this week:
Mathletics:
- Emma W
- Mercedes G
Reading Eggs/Eggspress:
- Poppy A
