Congratulations to all those who received a merit card and a Privilege Card this week.  Keep up the hard work.

Unfortunately, we have been noticing that quite a few of the Year 5 children are not as confident with their times table knowledge as we would have hoped. It is an end of Year 4 expectation that they are confident with knowing up to their 12 x 12 times tables. Please practise these crucial number facts with your children at home. Use this handy times tables square, below, to help you. Many thanks for your support,

The Year 5 team.
