Team Cialis (Yr 4)

We are continuing our efforts to prepare the children as much as possible for their Multiplication Tables Check in June. The children only have 6 seconds per question to give their answer - not a huge amount of time to think of the answer and type it in. As such, we would like the children to only practice on Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe, the mock version of the test. This will best help them familiarise with the format of the test and get them used to the six seconds allocation. 

Ten minutes a day would make a huge difference so please encourage your child to practice, practice, practice!

On Monday, the Crab Museum came into school to tell us all about a competition they are running to find the World's Funniest Crab Joke! We are also very excited that our KS2 JLT has been invited to judge the competition alongside Harry Hill, Phil Wang and Sally Phillips! The winner of the competition will be crowned on international crab day - Friday 26^th April 2024. In the meantime, start submitting your best crab jokes via the link on their web page - Crab Joke Competition — Crab Museum.

Welcome back Team Cialis! We hope you have had a great Easter break.

This term will be a great one! Firstly, we will start the term with our new flexible seating. This gives the children the opportunity for the children to choose the type of seating that aids their learning best. We also have a trip to Detling for the Living Lands Trip (we still need some adult helpers; please do get in touch if you are able to help).  And we have lots of great learning opportunities along the way.

Team Cialis have swimming on Thursday. All children must therefore bring their swimming kit. We also have dance on Wednesday so bring PE kit.

A reminder that the Multiplication Tables Check is coming up so keep practicing on Maths Frame (Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe).

If you were unable to make your Parents' Evening appointment, I will be completing these on Monday 22nd. Please email if you would like to book a slot.

We look forward to seeing you all on Monday,

Mr Cialis & Mr Adams

As you all know, the Multiplication Tables Check is around the corner. This is a statutory test that all Year 4s in England will take part in. The test will take place online and consists of 25 multiplication questions which the children will have 6 seconds to answer each. More information about the assessment can be found in the attachment below.

To prepare the children we have been using Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe. We ask that you practise as often as you can on this at home to ensure your child is ready for the test.

In our practices at school, we have had some great results already and these could be even better with more practice.

Yesterday, we had a great time at our Silent Disco for Neurodiversity Week.
