Learn about money with Natwest - free online moneysense resource

This is a great resource and has been recommended by Elishia. We have used these resources in school before and the children love classroom based learning on the topic. Why not try and have a go at some of the activities at home.

They are delivering online lessons for KS1, Lower KS2 and Upper KS2 including the teaching of mastery. They may use completely different methods (such as Singapore and Shanghai) bar modelling which we do not teach but it is another excellent free, progressive and focussed resource that you can access at home to support online learning.

Times Tables Rock Stars battle results week 3

Another excellent week of battling. Results below:

 

 

It was Monet who got a hat-trick of wins! Great effort from year 2 who remain unbeaten. Warhol and Picasso swapped positions 4 times in the last two hours with Picasso just nicking the win. Staff are still winless - I think we need to have a team talk! 

 

 

Huge shoutout to Gracie who has been top scorer for Y3 in every battle so far! A few familiar names on the top scorers lists also. Well done if you made it this week and even bigger well done if this is your 2nd or 3rd time!!

This challenge is all about number. Try and encourage children to write this down in their home learning books or, for younger children, write it out for them to fill in the missing gaps. Ask them to reason about how they will solve it and do some verbal thinking explaining how they are finding the missing numbers.
