TT Rock Star Fever Sweeps Through Stepney

Our pupils are using a new website, which is proving really popular. It is called Times Tables (or TT) Rock Stars. The Government has set out a target for pupils to know all their twelve times tables much younger than before. For years, we run the ‘Times Table Mountain’ challenges at school as an incentive for pupils to learn their tables. TT Rock Stars makes it a fun way of learning. We’ve found that pupils really love competitive challenges, whether it’s to beat their previous Personal Best (PB) scores or to compete against others. They now have their own logins and even their own ‘Rock Star’ name. On the site they can earn virtual points and prizes. Please encourage your child to go on this site at home or to just learn their tables. 10 minutes practise everyday soon helps pupils to remember these
