100 million words read!
Ellie Bissett, 2W2, and Annie Bowman, 2S2, have taken Ross High over the 100,000,000 million mark for words read through Accelerated Reader! Congratulations to all our pupils on this fantastic achievement!
Thank you to all parents and staff who have promoted and encouraged personal reading this year. Pupils are evidently reading more regularly and we want to keep pushing this and aim high once again next session.
We have also beaten our target for books read, which now stands at 2027.
War of Words update
Our Accelerated Reader battle against Knox Academy continues with Ross High leading the way!
We are at almost 95 million words and 1927 books read – at this rate we will hit our targets before the new timetable in June!
Well done everyone and keep reading and completing AR quizzes!
