EASTER BATTLE OF THE BANDS COMPETITION

We are challenging you to compete in a BATTLE OF THE BANDS competition!

You will be representing your class as you rock your way to success against other classes in your year group. The class that scores the most points wins!

Earning points in a battle

• Every correct answer in any game type is worth 1 point towards your team’s score. In other words, you can play in Garage, Rock Slam, Soundcheck, etc and earn 1 point per correct answer.
• ? Don’t confuse Battle points with coins! Coins are separate. You still earn 10 coins per correct answer in the Garage, 5 per correct Soundcheck answer and 1 coin per correct answer everywhere else.

When can I play?

Starts: Friday 1st April at 3:10
Ends: Monday 18th April at 3:00

You can only play between 9am and 3pm each day.

There will be certificates for the highest scoring players – Good luck!

Declan has been busy grouping soldiers into armies and then adding the groups together to find out the answers to times tables questions. Mr Arnett was very pleased with your Maths skills during this task and shared your success with me straight away.

Great work Declan!

Reuben used his Maths skills to bake some rolls a few weekends ago. He had to take the original quantities in the ingredient list and double them because of the number of people in his family. Reuben carefully measured the ingredients out, which were mainly measured in grams and ounces.

The rolls looked delicious – please do ask Reuben about these if you would like to take on this challenge yourself!

Years 2-6

Children will compete against others in their year group as well as across the country in an ‘England Rocks’ Time Tables Rockstars competition. There are Amazon prizes to be won, supplied by TT Rockstars.

We know that times tables practice stretches beyond the use of TT Rockstars. Make sure you make good use out of our ACE Times Tables board games throughout the week, which can easily be printed: http://allertonceprimary.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2020/01/Ace-Times-Tables-Games.pdf

Year 1

Year 1 will be playing the very exciting ‘Numbots’ on the TT Rockstars platform, focusing on numbers bonds knowledge. There will be prizes for the children that have tried particularly hard, chosen by teachers. Children can login to Numbots using their TT Rockstars login details here: https://play.numbots.com/#/intro

Teacher’s ‘Rock Slam’

Some teachers will be battling it out against each other next week – keep an eye out for this!

We also had two of our students top the individual leaderboards:

1st Place: Andrew T from 4K

Well done everyone!
