Is your child using the latest version of Timetables Rockstars?

19th November 2023Chris Mumby

I have been notified by TTRS (Maths Circle) that many children are using out-of-date versions of the game which may not have the new functionalities.

It’s important that they use the latest versions of the app and and website to ensure they receive the most secure, feature-rich and enjoyable experience of Times Tables Rock Stars. Some of the versions are so far behind that they’re missing out on key updates. 

Solution:

If using the website at home, please ask parents to visit play.ttrockstars.com/reset to load the latest version in their device’s browser. Otherwise please to update the Times Tables Rock Stars app from the app store.

Thanks,

Mr Mumby

Times Tables Rock Stars Challenge!

5th November 2023Chris Mumby

As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in England. The competition runs from 07:30 GMT Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 GMT Thursday 16th November 2023. It’s all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.

Children can play in any game mode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.

To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 GMT and 19:30 GMT on 07:30 GMT Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 GMT Thursday 16th November 2023. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.

Which Crew will be victorious? Who will rock their way to glory? Only time will tell…….

New Class 5 Transition

20th July 2023Carly Schon

We had a fabulous two days transitioning into Year 1. The children were settled and motivated right from the start! I was so pleased with their effort and their behaviour. We had a great two days getting to know each other, learning and exploring our new classroom. The children began to make a beautiful piece of space art which they will bring home on their first official day in Year 1.

I am so excited for our new adventure to begin after the holidays!

Well done to the new Class 5! Have a lovely Summer and I can’t wait to see you again in the new school year.
