Times Tables:

We are continuing our focus on times table knowledge in class.  This is for two reasons: firstly, pupils are expected to know all tables facts up to 12 x 12 fluently by the end of Year 4 and secondly, they will find so many aspects of maths easier with a quicker recall of these facts.  Therefore, we will be completing activities in school as well as sending weekly sheets looking at times tables and related division facts.  The system that we use has graded sheets starting at the 5 times tables which the Year 3 children will have looked at in Year 2.  Children will move onto the next sheet up when they have achieved full marks in school on the sheet that they have practised at home.  There will not be a time limit on completing the sheets in school.  TTRockstars is also excellent for practising times tables and can be used at anytime at home.  Logins details are in your child’s homework book.

Year 4 will continue from the stage that they were on at the end of last year.

Year 3 will begin this system in the coming weeks and in the meantime, will complete activities revising the 2, 5 and 10 times tables in preparation.

Please complete the times table sheet given out in class and return it to school stuck in your homework book.

Spellings:

Complete the spelling sheet in your neatest handwriting and  return it to school stuck in your homework book.

Your homework is due in on Wednesday 21st September.

If you have any queries, please contact Mrs Hollis or Miss Lloyd-Jones.
