TT Rockstars is a great way to keep testing and improving your knowledge of times tables. You need to practise your spellings for at least 20 minutes this week. Your teachers can see your progress on TT Rockstars, so it is a great place to learn them. You have been set tables in the GARAGAE section - this will help you to learn them all by the Summer

Year 4 has now completed the check - well done. It is still worth playing TT Rockstars and applying your knowledge to division facts now.
