• Times Tables Rock Star Launch!

  Fri 06 Jul 2018

  Launching this summer:  Times Tables Rockstars!

  Look out for a letter with your child's username and password, this should be coming home from your child's new teacher before the end of term. 

  Times Tables Rockstars is a new online programme we are introducing to encourage children to have fun with multiplication facts while improving fluency, recall and speed. Children will be able to access this in their own time on any IOS, Android or Windows device.

  What is it?

  Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of  times tables practice. This programme has very successfully boosted times tables recall speed for hundreds of thousands of pupils over the last 7 years in over 4500 schools - both primary and secondary - worldwide.

  How does it work?

  Incorrect answers are always immediately corrected in front of your child so that they start to associate the correct answer to every question. The clever code behind the scenes works out which times tables facts each child is consistently taking longer to answer and then it gradually starts to present these facts more frequently until they have mastered them. It will also ask related division questions 20% of the time in order to reinforce division facts.

  Is this instead of the times table challenge completed in class?

  No, this is to supplement the times tables challenge, giving children a fun way to practise and challenge themselves.

  Where does this fit with National Curriculum expectations?

  From June 2020, all pupils at the end of year 4 in England will take an online multiplication tables check .The national curriculum specifies that pupils at this stage should be able to recall the multiplication tables up to and including 12x12.

  The check aims to support pupils to master multiplication skills, which are essential for future success in mathematics. It will help to identify pupils who have not yet mastered this mathematical concept, so additional support can be provided.

  How do I log in?

  Log in here: https://ttrockstars.com/login, use your child'd details on the letter that will come home.

• RAF's Centenary Flypast

  Fri 06 Jul 2018 Peter Dunmall

  Tuesday 10th July, lunchtime

  The largest concentration of military aircraft in recent memory will descend on the skies above London as the Royal Air Force marks its centenary year.

  Up to 100 jets, helicopters and aeroplanes from across a range of different eras of RAF history, including Spitfires and modern state-of-the-art aircraft, are expected to take part.

  Route plans suggest that the flypast is likely to pass over Fielding from around 1pm as aircraft disperse from the main event.  We will extend lunchtime so that all pupils have the chance to see the flypast from the playground if it passes us.
