Times Table Rock Stars

Over the last week year 5 have been trying out a programme called Timestable Rock Stars and we are really starting to see a difference in their timestable knowledge.  In our year group we have Breakthrough Acts all the way to Rock Star Legends, and many children are now down to answering questions in less than 3 seconds.  We thought we would share a few stats with you - if you aren't named here maybe you can appear next week !

Helping at Home

In Year 5, the children are set weekly spellings on a Thursday which are tested on the following Friday. They are also set an additional piece of homework with either a Maths, English, Science, History or Geography link. It is expected that the children use Times Tables Rockstars a couple of times a week; they have their own password to access this activity.

In addition to this, please continue to support your child with their reading by regularly reading to them, listening to them read and asking them questions about their reading. This should also be logged on Boom Reader.

Although many children read fluently and independently at this age, in order to build higher level comprehension skills, it is important that they are given the opportunity to discuss what they have read and share their opinions about texts. Everyone will also get the chance to visit the school library each week, so they have a reading for pleasure book to go alongside their coloured book band.

PE is each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon so please make sure your children come to school in the appropriate kit on these days. During the colder months, the children may need additional clothing for the weather.
