Almost 100 pupils from Royal Russell School on Coombe Lane are wearing new badges on their uniforms this week, after they took part in a national maths and English learning challenge.
Prize winners: some of the Royal Russell pupils proudly display their new badges
The DoodleLearning Summer Challenge is designed to motivate primary-aged children during the school holidays and attracted participation from tens of thousands who practised maths and English for just a few minutes each day.
Part of the Discovery Education, the DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish apps create a unique unique work programme for every child “to boost their knowledge and confidence”.
In total, 91 pupils from Royal Russell School were rewarded with special certificates and badges presented by their teachers at the independent school this week.
Natalie Craigie, a Year 2 teacher and maths coordinator at the school, said: “Royal Russell pupils love using DoodleMaths and the children get excited each year for the Summer Challenge. It is a great way for them to consolidate their learning and every child who enters feels such a sense of achievement when they get their certificate and badge.”
Charity Lisko, from Discovery Education, said, “This year’s challenge was our biggest yet, with hundreds of primary schools and families taking part. We’re proud to have helped so many pupils to extend their learning beyond the classroom this summer.”
Designed to be used for just 10 minutes a day, Discovery Education’s DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish use the latest advances in motivational psychology to make learning fun and boost pupil confidence and ability. Filled with thousands of interactive exercises and carefully crafted questions, the apps automatically plug learning gaps and consolidate knowledge, giving children core skills that they can use in the classroom and beyond.
