You also need to be reading every day and practising your times tables. When we did some times tables last week, it was clear that lots of you need to get working on them! You should be able to answer any times table question up to 12 x 12, without needing to work them out or count on your fingers. It will make all of your Maths lessons and homework, much easier!

Try these fun games to help you with becoming super speedy at times tables!

Isle of Tune!

Today we played a fantastic new game. We experimented with programming to create our own island and to make music- at the same time!

Isle of Tune is a great game, in which you create an island that makes tunes. First you create your road network. Then you add other objects to the streets. Each item you add to your island (houses, trees, bushes etc.) plays a musical note. You can then change the notes and sounds that each item makes.

Once you have created your road network, you can add up to 3 cars. As each car passes an object along the roadside, it plays the note you have programmed. We had lots of fun with this today!
