Y4 Times Table Club – Letters will be sent home this week

This half term, your child is invited to join our Times Tables Club to maximise and support their learning outside of normal lessons. These sessions are intended to help boost your child’s confidence, memory and ability when recalling their multiplication tables.

The club will take place on a Thursday after school from 3:15 – 4:15 p.m. The first session will take place on Thursday 27th February 2020. If your child attends the club, we ask that they are dedicated towards it and turn up every week unless there is a genuine reason e.g. dentist appointment. Please note that your child will need to be picked up from outside the double doors at the back of the hall at 4.15pm.

 Please note that there will not be a Times Table club session on Thursday 19th March as this is Parents’ Evening week.

Please complete and return the attached consent form by Tuesday 11th February 2020.

Helping your child with their times tables

What can you do to help your child in practising their times tables?

  • Times tables chanting: “6, 12, 18, 24…”;
  • Times tables chanting in reverse order: “108, 99, 90, 81…”;
  • Using times tables songs
  • Using apps, like the one by  Times Tables Rock Stars or Hit the Button
  • Using free online games, like those on Top Marks
  • Asking your child multiplication calculations out of order, like: “What is 4 x 7? What is 9 x 5? What is 6 x 11?”;
  • Using pasta pieces or pebbles to show groups of numbers representing times tables, e.g. four groups of three pasta shells to show 3 x 4 = 12;

School Sandwiches

As of today children in KS2 (Years 3 to Year 6) who order a school sandwich will be making their own sandwich.

Year 6 have been making their own sandwich for a while and it has proved very successful which is why it was decided to roll out to KS2 (Years 3 to Year 6) children.

We hope the children enjoy preparing and eating their lunch.
