Fielding pupils, we've reached the final half term break which means it's the last Battle of the Bands for the year!

The final battle will begin on Friday 26th May at 4pm and will end on Sunday 4th June at 8pm.
 

Two battles will take place during these dates and times:

• Lower KS2 (Years 3 & 4) 
• Upper KS2 (Years 5 & 6)
   

Important Notice:

Maths Circle has reported that some pupils are using out of date versions of TT Rock Stars so please take this time to update the app and use the latest version of it and website to ensure pupils receive the most secure, feature-rich and enjoyable experience of TT Rock Stars. Some versions are so far behind that you are missing out on key updates which have taken place.
 

Solution:

If using the website at home, please can parent(s) / carer(s) visit play.ttrockstars.com/reset to load the latest version in their device's browser. Otherwise update the Times Tables Rock Stars app from the app store.

Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) continues to be the greatest phenomenon of learning times tables at Fielding as it is fun and challenging for all of our pupils. Through its carefully sequenced programme of daily times tables practice, it ensures no child is left behind in practice and for those that are confident, over-practice is ensured to increase higher levels of automaticity.
 

How to play:

Pupils can login via their personalised username and passwords. If they are unsure of this, they can check with their class teacher.

How to earn points: 

Every correct answer in any game type is worth 1 point towards the class team. Pupils can play in Garage, Rock Slam, Soundcheck, etc and earn 1 point per correct answer. 

 

Pupils should not confuse Battle points with coins! Coins are separate. They will still earn 10 coins per correct answer in the Garage, 5 per correct Soundcheck and 1 coin per correct answer everywhere else. 

Prizes

The winning class will be announced on Tuesday 6th April and will be rewarded: 

• The TTRS Trophy to keep until the end of term
• An inflatable guitar to keep until the of term 
• TTRS Certificate

From the winning class, the pupil who scores the most points for their class team will win: 

• TTRS Keyring
• TTRS Pencil 
• TTRS Certificate 
   

TTRS promotes the "little and often" technique which is why pupils only need to play between 3-10 minutes a day as part of their daily practice and whilst doing this over the half-term they will be earning those points for their class band! To promote this further, a daily minutes restriction has been set to 30 minutes to stop children from excessive screen-time during the half-term.
 

We look forward to see how this Battle of the Bands 'rocks' out and I look forward to announcing the next winners.
 

Have a wonderful half term break!
