Spellings & Times Tables

In line with the school's use of Times Tables Rock Stars, can you all please keep practicing your times tables as much as possible on TTRS; keeping an eye out for inter-year group challenges!  Additionally, there is also the Year 3 and 4 statutory spelling list above to help you learn your most important spellings.
