Times Tables

This year times tables are very important. At the end of the year the children will sit a times tables test. We are going to work really hard on our times table facts at school but we need your help at home. The children need to practice them regularly.

Year 4 children need to have completed three times tables practices each week. Practices may be on Times Table Rockstars or on a sheet of paper. Please sign in the back of their reading diary when your child has practiced their times tables.

There is a times table treat at the end of each half term for children who reach the milestones.

The times table test trial page can be accessed at https://pupil.multiplication-tables-check.service.gov.uk/

Your child will need a new access code each day.

For this term PE is on a Tuesday morning. Please send your child with their PE kit in a labelled bag.
