Summer 1 Letter and RKE Sheets
Published 21/04/26, by Lana KelseyHere are the RKEs for next half term. Please look at them with your child and talk about their upcoming learning. RKE stands for Remember, Know and Explore and these demonstrate to our pupils what they need to remember from previous learning to support current learning, what they will Know by the end of this unit and what they can Explore at home around the learning. We are so proud of how our pupils engage with this and we would like to ask again that you look at these to direct conversations around learning at home and undertake some of the Explore section. It is a real dip 'n' pick and we would like any of this work brought into school for us to celebrate by Thursday 14th May 2026.
The Summer 1 letter can be found below.
Many thanks as always for your engagement.

Times Tables
Published 02/12/25, by Lana KelseyOur work on learning times tables is now well underway. While we will be spending many of our maths lessons between now and February focusing on multiplication and division, we cannot stress enough how vitally important it is that children are supported at home to practise their times tables regularly.
Today, the children have all come home with a practice pack designed to help them. Please encourage your child to use this pack as often as possible, as strong times tables knowledge will make a huge difference to their confidence and success in maths.
What’s in the pack and how to use it:
- Looking is learning: In class, we have a mantra that “looking is learning”. To support this, the pack includes a multiplication grid so children can look up answers to questions they do not yet know.
- Written quizzes: The pack includes practice papers that can be completed at home. If your child returns a marked sheet to school, they will receive a gold sticker!
- Singing songs: The Percy Parker songs are brilliant for learning tables. They can be accessed via the website, YouTube, and most music streaming services.
- Hit the Button: A fantastic online resource that the children already use in school.
- White Rose Infinity: These codes can be used to access practice games and quizzes for each times table.
X-Table Infinity Quiz Codes School Code - QYS-SHJ Pictoral Abstract 2x 38-11-09 30-48-33 3x 99-74-95 62-93-91 4x 08_09_63 77-58-34 5x 35-28-07 99-09-89 6x 01_31_16 49-62-13 7x 81-27-96 87-27-14 8x 45-36-02 14_05_52 9x 75-40-00 57-71-75 10x 48-22-80 22-89-04 11x 60-12-51 93-40-28 12x 83-23-69 78-08-36 Expectations:
- Children should already be able to rapidly recall all multiplication facts for the 2, 5, and 10 times tables.
- In Year 3, we will focus on the 3, 4, 6, and 8 times tables.
- By Easter in Year 4, children should be able to recall all tables up to 12 × 12 by heart, achieving a score of over 20/25 on the National Multiplication Test. An example of the test can be used to practice here.
If you would like more ideas for practical ways to learn times-tables, please reach out to Mrs Kelsey via the school office.
Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards,
Mrs Kelsey - Read More
