Bedrock and the Raffle of Recognition

What is Bedrock? Bedrock is an online programme that helps students broaden their vocabulary and improve their literacy skills. In Key Stage 3, the English department uses Bedrock as a weekly homework task for our students. The trick to using Bedrock well is to use it regularly – ideally several times a week in short bursts. We ask our students to achieve a minimum of 20 points on Bedrock each week.

Bedrock Champions!

This year, the English department want to do more than ever to celebrate students who are ambitious with their Bedrock! Each half-term, we will hold a ‘Raffle of Recognition’ to award prizes to some of our Bedrock stars. If a student is in the top ten of users for their year group that week, they will have their name put onto a raffle ticket and entered into the competition. A student will also receive a ticket if they achieve 50 or more points in a single week. The more you use Bedrock, the more times your name will be entered into the raffle (and, you’ll broaden your vocabulary more and become increasingly more confident in your grammar and literacy skills).

Over to you! Try to push yourself to be even more ambitious than usual with your Bedrock this year – see how many times you can get yourself entered into the Raffle of Recognition!
