Pupils from a West Midlands Primary School are celebrating their success after taking part in a nationwide maths and English challenge.
66 children from Tividale Community Primary School in West Oldbury received awards following their participation in Discovery Education’s DoodleLearning Spring Challenge. The popular digital learning event is celebrating its most successful year yet, after tens of thousands of children across the UK took part during the Easter school holidays.
The DoodleLearning Spring Challenge helps keep children motivated by encouraging them to practise maths and English for just a few minutes each day, using Doodle’s innovative learning programmes. Part of the Discovery Education family of services, the DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish apps are designed to be used little and often, both at home and in the classroom – making them ideal for school holiday learning.
Pupils from over 600 UK primary schools took part in this year’s challenge by using DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish throughout the month of April. Children who completed the challenge were rewarded with special certificates and badges, presented by their teachers in school.
Teacher Leanne Findon, Computing Lead at Tividale Community Primary School said:
“We are really proud of all of the children at Tividale Community that took part in the Doodle Spring Challenge this year. The challenge helps the children to retain skills they have learnt at school over the longer holiday breaks. We present the children with their badges in assembly. They are really proud of their achievements and enjoy wearing their badges in school. “
Charity Lisko, Discovery Education’s Vice President for International Product, Curriculum and Content said:
“Congratulations to all pupils from Tividale Community Primary School who took part in this year’s DoodleLearning Spring Challenge. We love helping you extend your learning beyond the classroom and we hope you will continue your streaks by joining us for our live Summer Challenge!”
