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I have been notified by TTRS (Maths Circle) that many children are using out-of-date versions of the game which may not have the new functionalities.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

Year 4: Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)

14th November 2023Rebecca Knowles

Year 4 parents, please find information regarding the MTC which the children will sit in June.

We are working really hard on times tables in school and will continue to do so throughout the year in the run up to the MTC.

You can help at home by encouraging your child to use their TTRockstars account regularly. Jamming and Soundcheck modes are particularly useful.

We’ve been learning all about fronted adverbials in our English lessons and have focused on time, place and manner adverbials. We’re really starting to get the hang of them and identify whether the adverbial is telling us where, when or how something happened!
