Year 2 to Year 6 – England Rocks Competition – Times Table Rock Stars
Dear Parents / Carers,
We are excited to be taking part in the England Rocks competition hosted by Times Table Rock Stars! The competition runs from 07:30 GMT Monday 14th November to 19:30 GMT Wednesday 16th November and is all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.
Children can play in any gamemode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.
To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 GMT and 19:30 GMT on 07:30 GMT Monday 14th November to 19:30 GMT Wednesday 16th November. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.
In the spirit of the competition, please don’t play on their behalf but by all means encourage and support them during the competition.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
Miss Forbes
