X Tables Check – Year 4

The year 4 x times tables check is scheduled to take place this academic year during the summer term, around June time. This will involve all year 4 pupils taking an online x test. The format of the test will be for the children to answer 25 questions in a given time. We will be covering work on this class as well using laptops and ipads to practise a version of the test itself. But it would be really helpful if you could support your children at home to help them learn all their x tables up to 12 x 12.

Click on the link below to access an example of the test to have a practise. There are 6 seconds to answer each question and questions are generated randomly from the 1 to 12 x tables.

Times Tables Check Test

You can also use the Top Marks website to practise x tables with a game called Hit the Button. Here you can choose a x table to practise as well select division to practise x tables using the inverse method. Click on the link below to access.

Hit The Button

The children are also bringing home a x tables poster and x tables work book. They can display the poster at home and use the book to practise x tables as well as record the tricky bits, patterns and top tips to help them remember each x table by heart.

Please encourage your child to practise and learn their x tables as often as possible. As well as helping them with the x tables check it is also such an important life skill.

Below are some useful documents:

Y5&6 Tag Rugby Tournament

Well done to the ten Y5&6 boys and girls who represented Myddle CE Primary at a Tag Rugby competition this morning at Corbet School. The children performed very well and gained a great amount from the experience, winning two and drawing one of their five games. A special mention to Sophie, our player of the tournament, who made some great runs with the ball, got on the scoresheet herself and knew the rules of the game really well. It was great to have the opportunity to take part in competitive fixtures again against other local schools.

Here are some of the photographs of the team in action………

Frog Club in Rhino Class

In Rhino class, we have introduced a maths programme called Frog Club in Rhino class.  This is an scheme that encourages children to have faster recall of number facts. The programme starts with the 10 club and goes through to 99 club and then onto Superstars Division and Superstars Fractions.

By learning these number facts, we really hope that this programme will help your child carry out calculations more easily as they learn to use and apply their knowledge.

Each week, on a Friday, the children will have 5 minutes to complete the test for the club they have been assigned. In order to move on to the next club, they must answer all questions correctly in the time.

Below is a list of all the clubs and the content covered in each.

You can help your child at home by practising fast recall of the number facts in each club.  Click on the link to access each test.

This week in science, Rhino class set up an experiment to find out the impact the environment has on germination. They used a range of resources to plan and make sure the test would be fair.
