Welcome to Cherry Class - Mr Burdes

Year 3

Key Information for Cherry Class:

• Reading diaries should come to school every day. The diaries will be checked every Friday so please check that your child has (at least) 4 entries recorded to get their sticker on the reading chart!
• Please can your child make sure that their PE kit is in school everyday.  P.E. times change every half term but are also subject to weather.  We will be indoors and outdoors for PE so trainers, spare socks and a warm layer to put on would be worth including in the kit. If your child wears earrings, please can these be taken out before you child comes to school if they are unable to remove them themselves. 

TT Rockstars & Hit the Button. (learning times tables online).

Your child has a log in for ttrockstars (https://ttrockstars.com/ ) which is a computer game to learn times tables and recall facts quickly. Soon we will be setting homework on this platform but for now your child is welcome to play when they want to. The system is set up as 'automatic training' in which the computer assesses how fast your child responds to each question. If they are quick it moves them on. If they are slower they stay with more simple facts.

To support your child's times table skill , they could also play on a game called hit the button https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button . This game has all the answers on the screen and the children tap the number which is the answer. I'd recommend it for now.

Thanks

Mr Burdes
