WE ALL NEED TO WORK ON OUR TIMES TABLES
Please practise your times tables as the better you get the easier maths will become. We have added some fun websites to help you achieve this goal. Please use them. I like the slingshot game personally! (Multiplication.com)
If you know of any other fun websites please let us know so we can share them with the other children.
