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I have been notified by TTRS (Maths Circle) that many children are using out-of-date versions of the game which may not have the new functionalities.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

Marvellous Maths Collaboration! 🔢

14th November 2023Simon Gerrard

What a super afternoon Class 10 had collaborating with each other on the tricky concept of inverse – doing the opposite to show if you are correct! It’s fair to say Class 10 got stuck right in and produced some great team work to ensure that all of us could understand this concept!

Class 10 feature finders! 📝

8th November 2023Simon Gerrard

Class 10 have been preparing for their next independent piece of writing by looking at features of a non-chronological report. They were trying identify the variety of conjunctions, fronted adverbials and facts that they could see! Class 10 collaborated superbly well to find these features and were able to feed them back.

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…….

Class 10 Maths Magic! ➕

30th October 2023Simon Gerrard

On our first day back after half term, Class 10 have worked together on column method and more specifically, Class 10 have been working on exchanging the extra 1. We had some of our expert coaches who were confident with this and made great teachers to the rest of the class! It was lovely to see such hard work and confidence from Class 10 in this ready to continue to work hard on in the future!

Class 10 goes to the library! 📚

4th October 2023Simon Gerrard

Well, it is safe to say that Class 10 loved their trip to the library this morning! We loved the walk and the fresh air to get there. More importantly, we loved exploring the library and reading and looking at lots of different books. Some of us even squeezed into the tightest spots to read a good book. We had lots of fun!

Roman soldiers! 🗡️🏛️

3rd October 2023Simon Gerrard

Today, Class 10 have been learning about the life of a Roman soldier. We even learned the Latin names of items like a sword, helmet and shield amongst others. We learned that there was some positives of being a Roman soldier such as you are well fed and get equipment provided. However, there were negatives as well with the main one being that you could be killed!
