Today the children brought home their log-in details for Numbots and TTRockstars. Children are welcome to use both games but at this time of year we find Numbots particularly useful. Children who use Numbots regularly often show greater confidence in their maths skills. The game may appear easy at first but the games are designed to teach children the skills they need in order to be able to answer harder mathematical questions later. Please introduce your child to the game but do not give them the answers to the questions. The games are designed to track your child’s individual progress and if anyone else uses their account it can effect the games given to you child and lead to gaps in their overall progress.

Children can earn certificates for completing the different stages of the game. We also give out special certificates in our community crew assembly for children with the highest number of minutes played/correct answers/stages completed etc. This varies from week to week but one child from each class will be rewarded with a certificate for the chosen reason.

Please watch the video below to find out more about how Numbots can help your child.

Next week we will be using our DT skills to create box model tudor houses. If you have any spare cardboard boxes at home that you can donate we would appreciate it. Shoe boxes and cereal boxes would be great but if you have any slightly larger then these would be greatly appreciated too. Please bring boxes in week beginning Monday 15th September.
