We have recapped on the 11 times table this week. Make sure you can answer these quickly – in order or in any order. What do you notice?
Lots of you have been on Timestables Rockstars over half term and we were so impressed with the combined total of over 30,000 correct answers! Mr Holman’s class pipped our class to the post – let’s not let them happen again!
Your homework over half term is to take part in the Times Tables Rockstar Battle, which we have set up between the Year 5 classes.
You need to just log in as usual and play either in a festival against others or scroll down and play in Garage/Arena with questions set by us or the studio/festival for a variety of questions. Anything you score will count towards our band total.
Get rocking!
The bookfair is back in school next week during Parent’s Evening. It will be available for you to browse and purchase books in the hall over both evenings. We raise hundreds of pounds in books for the school through your continued support in this.
We would like the children in Y5/6 to take a reading selfie to be in with a chance of winning a £5 book voucher to spend at the fair. It can be as unusual or exciting as you wish. You can print them off and bring them in or email them to your teacher so that we can select a winner next Wednesday. Our email addresses can be found below. Get snapping!

We have set you all up on a new times tables website/app. For you homework, we would like you to set up your account and have a go at playing on the games. We can check how you’re getting on and which multiplication facts you need more practise on. Use the link below for the website or install the app on a phone/tablet instead. You each have your own login so make sure you have got this from your teacher.

We’ve revised the 6 times table.
Can you use it to help you solve multiples of 10?
e.g. 6 x 7 =42
60 x 7 = 420
Remember that your homework books are a place for you to record your practise. We will look through them to check how you’re getting on with your test scores but if you want to make sure your teacher looks at something in particular, please tell them! If you want to keep them an extra night to practise, just make sure they are in school every Wednesday for your test.
Please make sure you have practised your spellings and mental maths ready for our class test next Wednesday. You do not have to print this homework at all – just copy the words into your homework book so you can practise them whenever you want to. Practise your mental maths verbally too. We have been so impressed with how many children scored 10/10 this week!
The spelling trophy had to be shared though because the average score across both classes was 7.7! I wonder which class will be victorious next week?

We have revised our 9 x table this week. Make sure you can recite them in any order. Remember to use ‘product’ and ‘factor’ from last week but this week add in ‘squared’.
e.g. 2 factors of 18 are 9 and 2. The product of 9 and 2 is 18. 9 squared is 81.
Comment on this post if you want to share how you’ve got on with it.
Here is this week’s homework. Please practise your spellings by copying them out. It’s better to practise them for 5 minutes every day than for a longer time on one day.
spacious

precious

atrocious

Our mental maths this week has focussed on the 8 times table. We have started to introduce more vocabulary to help you with this. Can you use the word ‘product’ and ‘factor’ within your answers?
e.g. 4 x 8 = 32. The product of 4 and 8 is 32. Two factors of 32 are 4 and 8.
Try to answer your multiplication questions within 5 seconds!
We will test spellings next Wednesday and use the mental maths in our class assessments over the whole week.
We have had an amazing start to the term Y5. You have worked really hard in establish yourselves as members of your new team – including diversity in Team All Saints and how you are responsible for supporting this. We started the day by watching our super talented staff (!) acting in a short film about your journey through Y5/6. Click here to watch it.
