Literally just one minute!
We had parents' evening yesterday for DS, 8 1/2, in Y4. Apparently he's doing well across the board except that he needs to speed up his writing so that he gets more work down on paper in the allocated time. His teacher has suggested doing a speed challenge with him every day where he picks a topic and we time him to see how much he can write on that topic in one minute - she's said not to worry about neatness or the quality of content initially, but literally just on the number of words on the page. I'm just curious to know what the ballpark is. His topic for this evening was 'The best party ever' - if anyone has a spare Y4 child hanging around, could you please get them to try it and tell me how many words they got down?

Please could I borrow your Year 4 children for a minute?
