Useful Information

Reading

Please try to read with your children daily. Reading records will be collected in on Wednesday.

Spellings

Spelling lessons take place daily, each week we will introduce a new rule to the children on a Monday and they will do work around this rule all week. Children have the option to take the weekly spelling lists home, should you wish to do extra practise.

Times Tables

Please practise times tables! There will be a test each Tuesday. Login to Times Tables Rockstars to practise!

All of the children work towards our Bronze Badge to begin with and move up as they complete every question correctly:

Test 1 is 2, 5, 10 x tables (50 questions)

Test 2 is 3, 4, 6 x tables

Test 3 is 7, 8, 9 x tables

Silver 1:  2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and divide

Silver 2: 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 11x, 12x and divide

Silver 3: all x tables (100 questions)

Gold 1: Multiplication of larger numbers

Gold 2: Multiplication and division of even larger numbers

Gold 3: Multipilcation of even larger numbers!

We recommend that the children practise every day - there are lots of resources online eg:

of course, pen and paper and chanting can all help too!
