Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)
At the end of Year 4, the children will have a multiplication tables check.
The multiplication tables check (MTC) is a statutory requirement for all primary schools.
A quick explanation of the MTC from the DfE:
The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided.
Schools will have a 3-week check window in June to administer the MTC. Teachers will have the flexibility to administer the check to individual pupils, small groups or a whole class at the same time.
To help prepare for this, the children are doing weekly times table races and practice tests in class. At home, children should be practicing their times tables regularly on TimesTable Rockstars.

Celebration of the Word:
Our class RE prayer:
Dear Lord,
Help us to get to know you, to trust in you, to listen to you, and learn from your word.
We thank you for the gift of learning you have given us.
Amen
