PUPILS at Westbury Leigh CE Primary School recently spent the day competing with each other to become times table rock stars by using the Numbots app designed to improve knowledge of addition and subtraction.
The school says, “Key Stage 2 children recently competed to be class times tables champions and to be times tables rock stars using the times tables rock star app! Key Stage 1 children all had a great time playing the ‘Numbots’ app which is designed to engage children with basic maths skills. Children and staff dressed up and had fun competing against each other.”
Maths teacher Mrs Eveleigh explained, “The children worked hard before the event to learn times table facts and have ended the day inspired by maths! We are very proud of them!”
The day ended with a final competition in the hall where the class champions played against each other to find the school times table champion- the champions even took on the teachers!
Headteacher Mrs Grimsey added, “It’s a great way to inspire the children to get excited about maths and it really brightened up a quiet January day with staff and children dressed up – everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and worked hard on their maths skills!”
