Exciting News!
On Friday 5th February it was NSPCC Number Day:
This year we decided to take part in NSPCC Rocks to raise money for the NSPCC.
We dressed up as rockstars and had great fun taking part in TTRS activities.
We raised a fabulous £177.28.
We started the day with a TTRS assembly.
Asad, Ilhan, Siena, Kaitlyn and Mrs Rotherham represented Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6
and the teachers in a soundcheck each in front of the whole school.
Siena got the highest score and is now the St Matthew's TTRS champion. Well done Siena!

TIMESTABLEROCKSTARS
All children have a log in for TimestableRockstars.
Timestables are a fundamental part of learning in maths and once we know them off by heart, it enhances our maths learning.
At the end of Year 4, children are expected to do a timed timestable check where they need to get all the answers correct to pass.
We encourage the children to go on it at home and at school. Click on the picture here to go straight to the website. Ask staff if you need help logging in.
