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I have been notified by TTRS (Maths Circle) that many children are using out-of-date versions of the game which may not have the new functionalities.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

Today the children enjoyed collaging a giant sock and making some individual ones to raise awareness for ‘anti bullying week’. We have talked a lot today about what being kind looks and sounds like.

Diwali Celebrations in Nursery

6th November 2023Elizabeth Hay

Today we learnt about Diwali, the Hindu celebration of light. The children had a wonderful time dancing to Bollywood music with coloured scarves, creating Rangoli patterns in play-dough and with pencils and exploring powder paint to mark make their own patterns. What a beautiful day!

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…….

Camp Nursery

3rd November 2023Selina Burton

This afternoon we were very lucky to be joined by Mr Kershaw. He continued our learning on bonfire safety by setting up a campfire and showing the children how to toast marshmallows safely. The children were fantastic and showed how much they had learnt this week in Nursery. What a fabulous friday afternoon treat!
