At Home:

TEAMS - Please make sure that you regularly check the Class TEAMs page. 

Reading - Reading is such an important part of a child's learning and can help them in all areas of curriculum.   Confident readers become confident writers!

 Children are expected to read at home at least five times a week.  

Times Table Rock Stars – children that have been using this regularly at home are making real improvements with their recall of multiplication and division facts. Please allow your child to access the website or app regularly at home as it is having a noticeable impact for those using it regularly. Children are encouraged to go on TTRS at least three times a week. 

We also recommend going on www.timestables.co.uk .

This site will allow pupils to become more familiar with the assessment format they will be required to complete later on in the year. Click on the Multiplication Tables Check tab for this. They will have 6 seconds to complete each of 25 questions. 

There are also lots of times tables games to go on here too.
