2nd Place – Year 4: was 3,701,147 words – was: 4,006,659 – Now: 4,122,830

5th Place – Year 2: was 42,323 words – was: 227,546 – Now: 338,858
We also have some children who are in the ‘Millionaire’s Club’ which means they have read OVER ONE MILLION WORDS!
These children are:
Amara – Year 3
Isla – Year 5
Sophia -Year 5
Charlie D – Year 5
Your teachers will be in contact with you to congratulate you!
The way to add to your class word count is to read books or go onto Myon and take Accelerated Reader Quizzes on them (Please note these are to be completed independently by the children with no help from adults so that we can gauge their understanding of the text)
