Since returning to school this morning, pupils were buzzing with excitement as they spoke about the results of the Christmas battle and were proud of the contributions they made to their class score.

 

Please now continue to practice at home at least four times a week for at least 8 minutes.

 

If you are in Year 3, continue to practice on Garage mode as you attempt to turn your heatmap green. 'Gone Green' certificates will start being awarded to children who achieve a completely green heat map!

 

If you are in Year 4, continue to practice on Garage mode if you are still working towards your 'Gone Green' certificate. Please also start to play on Soundcheck mode if you haven't already, which tests your recall for all the times tables in a similar format to the MTC which you will be completing in the Summer term. Year 4 pupils will complete the Unofficial MTC on TTRS in school next week to check our current times table fluency and recall.

 

If you are in Year 5 and 6, check your heatmap to make sure it is green. If it is you will be awarded a 'Gone Green' certificate this week. If it isn't, get back on Garage mode and go green! Please also continue to have fun testing yourself on Soundcheck to ensure your multiplication fluency and recall remains high.

 

For all KS2 classes, don't forget to try to improve your rock status on Studio mode once your heatmap has turned green!
 

Year group battles have started again this week and our next Battle of the Bands will take place over the Easter holidays so continue to practice to boost your speed, fluency and confidence.
