Maths : 

  Homework sessions will be set on TTRockstars.  This will be 15mins on Garage each week plus 2 soundcheck games. Garage helps them to learn the tables they are not yet confident with and Soundcheck prepares them for the Multiplication Tables Check. Once the set homework is complete, children can play any of the games for additional practice, including 'Jamming' to practise specific tables without the timer; 'Studio' to increase speed and Rock Status; and 'Soundcheck' to prepare for the summer term times tables test.

A maths homework sheet will also be sent home each Friday to be returned the following Friday. This will be additional arithmetic practice to aid children's fluency and familiarity with written methods which have been learned at school.
