NSPCC Rocks

As part of our commitment at Fairfields Primary School to make maths exciting and high profile, we are going to be taking part in a friendly competition involving schools throughout the UK for NSPCC ‘Number Day’. The competition runs from 07:30 to 19:30 GMT on Friday 2nd February 2024 and is all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.

Children can play in any game mode, 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 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 well-being, there is a daily time limit of 60 minutes per player. 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, we ask parents not to play on their behalf, but by all means – encourage and support them to do their best!

We will provide you with further information nearer the time, but should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Thank You for your continued support.
