Year 3 Pen Licences

It is always an exciting time for the children when they gain their pen licence, enabling them to make the move from writing in pencil to pen. For this rite of passage, the children have to show that they can write neatly and consistently in cursive, joined handwriting in all of their work, not just handwriting tasks.

The following children have shown pride in their presentation of all of their learning tasks and have been awarded a Pen Licence and their first handwriting pen.

Jahnavi, Kiki, Joshua and David, in 3LS. 

Well done!

Battle between all classes from 11- 18 January 2023. Only the first 15 minutes of play counts - so a little three or for times a week is always the most effective and recommended way of learning.

TT Rock stars will block 2x, 5x, 10x and 11x on jamming if you are efficient at them, so you cannot pick easy ones just to score more points in the class battles.

Stay Calm and Rock on!!
