Times Table Rockstars

Children have their own log in and can access their times tables.  Times tables are key knowledge unpinning so many aspects of Maths; quick recall of these facts speed up confident learning and solving of skills and questions in many other topics.

TT Rockstars (you can also download an app from the App Store or Google Play)

Things to Remember

Our school day starts at 8:30, doors are open from 8:25, during the first 15 minutes, pupils complete morning work – this is a really important time as we work specifically on reading skills and fine motor skills.

PE – Please wear your PE kit to school on Tuesday and Thursday.
Homework – All homework is set on a Monday to be handed in on a Friday. This includes reading 3 times a week, a spelling activity linked to the words learning in school and a Maths task that supports learning. Parents; we really appreciate your support with this.

 

Reading at Fairburn View Primary School

There is a focus on reading across school and there is huge benefits to children reading at home. As part of school policy, we ask for children to read at least 3x at home and this is signed by a parent. You can help your children by listening to them read, but also checking their comprehension and understanding of the text. Ask the questions about what they have just read, what they think will happen next and explain what they think of the books they are reading. It is important for children to read a range of texts as this makes them well rounded excellent readers.

Inside school, children have a daily guided reading session in which they have opportunity to have adult based and independent reading activities.

 

Parent Partnerships
We welcome any opportunities for parents to share their skills and knowledge, please speak to one of the teachers if you would like to offer your skills in school.

Thank you for your support.
