Nonsuch Primary School

Year 1- Peacocks

Tasks for Tuesday 31st March 2020:

The tasks and date will be updated between 4pm and 9am.

I hope everyone is well and the children enjoyed writing instructions last week. It has been great to see

how busy everybody has been on Mathletics and TT Rockstars. I particularly enjoyed seeing the creative

Rock-names that were created on TT Rockstars !

I have amended some TT Rock - star accounts as some children were seeing questions which involved

the 12 times table which should not happened. The tables that the children should see will include the

2, 5 and 1o's times tables. This has hopefully now been fixed and I am looking forward to seeing how

many children logon this week. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Best Wishes
