Times Tables RockStars
RockStars proved to be hugely popular last year and helped the children to make considerable progress in learning their times tables facts.
As it is a new school year, we have reset the children’s RockStars accounts. Teachers will be handing out their logins this week.
RockStars is continuously improving with new features; this year, it has some new tools which help to assess where your child is currently with their times tables knowledge in order to tailor some of the questions to suit their needs and also give feedback to their teacher.
When your child first logs in, they will first need to choose a new ‘rockstar’ name. It would then be beneficial for them to play the ‘Gig’ as this gives an initial assessment and a baseline speed so that they and their teachers can see their progress over time.
If you have any questions, please pop in and speak to the class teacher.
Fabulous First Week!
We have had a fabulous first week with your children, getting to know them, building relationships and having fun together! We are amazed at how well they have settled in and how quickly they are finding their feet.
We will begin PE next week so please bring their PE bags in on Monday.
More information about PE, our topic for this half term and reminders will be coming home in our newsletter on Monday.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Baird, Mrs Hearn, Mrs Mitchell and Mrs Tickle.
