Today marks the first day of our annual Times Table Race Challenge. Over the next three weeks, children will complete a race in school and will also bring a race home to complete each evening/night. The idea is that our children develop and improve their rapid recall of times tables facts.
Good Luck Park Street! We wanted to make you aware of a new Guinness World Record title - 'Highest score achieved on 'Time Tables Rock Stars' in one minute'. We know you love playing on Times Tables Rock Stars and what better way to get practising your times tables by knowing YOU could become a Guinness World Record title holder. We think this is a fantastic incentive and would like to invite you all to take part. The letter attached explains to participate and gives you the deadline for the event. For further information, you can also visit https://ttrockstars.com/page/gwr Good luck each and every one of you who decide to enter. Mr Fidment and Miss Garratt (KS1 and KS2 Maths Leads) 
Dream Big Sports have provided us with a free set of resources which will help you stay active and support you with your learning. These activities are a great way of getting Maths into your day whilst being up and on the move around your house. Simply download the Challenge Sheet pdf by clicking the attachment below. Have fun!
We wanted to bring your attention to some new videos that the team at NCETM/maths hubs have been putting together to support children learn maths at home. They are all planned and delivered by mastery specialists. They will be adding to them each week with 5 new videos per age phase per week. They all take on the mastery approach to learning and use digital images and animations, alongside the teacher talking to the kids in a video.
Here’s the link to the main hub for them: https://www.ncetm.org.uk/resources/54454?utm_source=NCETM%20Newsletters&utm_campaign=4a4d6a8df7-primary-round-up-april-2020&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_13f8d631f4-4a4d6a8df7-222526285 See the links below for this week's home learning from the White Rose Maths hub.

Below, you will find a link to a resource that is currently being offered free to help children learn maths, in particular times tables understanding (not just fact recall) and has been designed and created by Pete Sides. We know many of you use TT Rockstars but this works very differently in that it builds understanding and thoughts rather than just memorisation. Check it out!
