Miss Schon and I are overwhelmed by the amazing effort of class 6 and class 7 in our times table challenge this week. On the final evening before the competition ends at 8am tomorrow morning Crew Schon are still in the lead. Perhaps you could fit in a few more rounds before school in the morning. Lets see who will be champion.
We can’t wait to see your maths related outfits for National Number Day tomorrow too.
Well done to those who have taken part in our challenges so far – you’ve done a fantastic job! Here is the challenge for day 4! There are 3 different levels for you to choose from depending on whether or not you want a challenge!
Remember to send your pictures of the things you find to your teachers or to [email protected]
We can’t wait to see what you find on your scavenger hunt!
As day 3 in our nail biting times tables slam draws to a close Crew Schon are still in the lead with an average of 187 correct answers per pupil compared with Crew Rodgers 142. Remember that only questions answered in “Garage’ will count towards our scores. You can also change the length of each game…1, 2, or 3 minutes. Over 2/3 of each class is now playing regularly! What an amazing and fun way to Get Smart in your maths learning! Miss Schon and I are blown away by how enthusiastic you all are about our competition and learning your times tables but please remember to limit screen time and to ensure that you are not allowing other family members to answer the questions for you. Practise really does make perfect. If it is not you who is answering the equations you won’t improve as you should, and will be given tables that do not match your ability. Remember, the competition ends at 8am on Friday morning (3rd February) and a new 12 hour whole-school competition will begin in aid of the NSPCC to celebrate National Number Day. We hope you are having a think about what number or maths based costume you could wear for school on that day.
Our current top 5 TTRockstars players in Class 6 were showing us how it’s done today! Thank you to all the children who have logged on and helped us to remain in the lead again today. Super well done to Arnie, Spencer and Phoenix who have been fighting for that number 1 spot! Keep up the super practise.
So as day 2 of our epic battle comes to an end Crew Schon have edged into the lead with an average of 53 correct answers per pupil compared to 45 for Crew Rodgers. It’s neck and neck with everything to play for. Congratulations to Jack from Crew Rodgers who remains in the lead for the second day, and to Spencer from Crew Schon who has shot up the leaderboard and is snapping at Jack’s heels. Remember every correct answer submitted in the ‘Garage’ section of the game earns points for your crew. How will the results look tomorrow evening? Check in to find out.
Wow Class 6! You really are Rockstars. This morning Class 6 found out that we were losing to Class 7 in the TTRockstars tournament so I set them the challenge to play tonight to earn us some more points. Class 6 you have smashed it! Lots more children have signed in and are moving up the leaderboard! Keep it up Class 6 we have until Friday to earn as many points as we can by playing in the ’garage’ section of the game. I am super proud of you all!
Special shout-out to Spencer tonight who just cant stop playing! Thank you for earning us lots of points and well done for zooming right up the leaderboard!
Choose one (or more!) of the challenges below to complete at home this week! Don’t forget to get the whole family involved! If your child is in EYFS, please choose some of the activities from the ‘Year 1 and 2’ document 🙂
Remember to send any pictures to [email protected] or to your teachers. We can’t wait to see all of the maths around your home!
At the end of day one Crew Rodgers are in the lead with an average of 17 correct answers per pupil with four days to go. Well done to everyone who has logged on and taken part so far. Keep it up rockstars! We got this!
Work together to see how many maths words you can think of for each letter of the alphabet! I’ll let you into a secret … J is a very tricky letter so I’ll be super impressed if anyone thinks of a maths word starting with J!
Please send your responses to [email protected] and / or bring them in to show your teachers!
We can’t wait to see how many words you come up with and who has the most creative words!
This half term the children have been really enjoying learning the ‘split digraph’ sounds. This week we will learn the final split digraph sound u-e as in ‘huge‘ and ‘cube‘.
The children have continued to impress us with their reading skills during our daily shared reading sessions. Here are the books the children have been leaning to read in school for you to enjoy at home:
