Times Tables Rock Star Day
On Friday 24th, June the whole school took part in a TTRS day. We dressed up as rock stars and took part in math's activities throughout the day. During our assembly we learnt all about the importance of learning our times tables and how using Times Table Rock Stars can help us. We had a live battle between 2 of our school’s quickest children and even Mrs Hurley and Mr Greenfield got involved. It was amazing to see how fast some children are – but the main message was the importance of accuracy.
We had lots of fun playing TTRS and challenging other classes to battles! We played a game in pairs using dice. We rolled a dice each and multiplied the numbers together to see who was quickest – it was very competitive! We also created our own board games and posters to help us learn our times tables. The children also took part in a Times Table Treasure Hunt which was so much fun!
We all had a great fun filled day learning our times tables in a variety of ways. Congratulations to our winners and to everybody for taking part.
If you are unsure about your child’s TTRS login details, please ask your child’s class teacher for more information.
