Winterton PrimarySchool & Nursery

Does your child love to sing and dance? Why not bring a bit of rhythm into their maths practice! TTRS has another brilliant resource to help build fluency in a fun and engaging way. Check out Rocking and Rolling Numbers for catchy, sing-along maths videos that help children learn their times tables through music: https://rockingandrollingnumbers.com/ It's a great way to mix things up and keep children motivated while practising those all-important multiplication facts. Remember – just 3 minutes a day on TTRS (or singing along!) can make a huge difference to your child's confidence and fluency.

Times Tables Rock Stars & NumBots – Troubleshooting FAQs Q) My child does not have an iPad. A) Don't worry - the TTRS and NumBots apps can be downloaded on android devices as well (for free). Both TTRS and NumBots work on laptops or computers too. We recommend practicing on a tablet where possible as children in Year 4 complete the Multiplication Check using an iPad each June. Q) We have internet and connectivity issues A) If you are having issues with technology and devices, class teachers will be happy to provide printed challenges to support your child's multiplication journey at home.

Congratulations to our children who achieved Learning Characteristic of the Week and Citizen of the Week certificates.

During this assembly, we also celebrated good attendance and sporting achievements. Well done everyone!

We are incredibly proud of the positive attitude and determination they have shown throughout. A special thank you to Miss Bane for her hard work, dedication and support in preparing and guiding the pupils, and also to our brilliant volunteers who gave up their time to support the children during the week. Well done, Year 6!

A) If your child is struggling to log in to TTRS or NumBots, their login details can be found in their reading record books and folders. If these aren't available, don't worry – teachers can easily provide new login details Q) What game should they play on TTRS? A) There are lots of different game modes, each designed to practise different skills. Miss Bane sets specific goals each month for each class, but honestly – all game play is helpful and builds fluency! Have a look at the Game Mode information in this post to guide you.

We are excited to launch Winterton Junior Apprentice next week to years 4 and 5 as part of our enrichment programme for all pupils. This opportunity will help pupils develop important life skills including money management, budgeting, teamwork, communication, problem-solving and enterprise, while building confidence for the future. As part of the programme, pupils will also focus on aspirations and careers, hearing from our school alumni about their experiences of the workplace, career journeys and jobs of the future. We will share more information soon about how you can get involved.
