In the first week, children will be provided with logins to a fantastic website/app called Timestable Rockstars. Each week you will be set Times Tables to learn and you will go on a variety of games to learn these timetables whilst ranking on a whole class leaderboard! Children are ranked on how much they interact with the game and earn coins to purchase new rockstar outfits! The app is fantastic and I cannot encourage you enough to suppot your child in engaging with this game. We have seen remarkable leaps in the children's Times Table knowledge when they use this along with our Times Table sessions within school.
