When a challenge is set, we at Victoria Park Academy will ALWAYS come up trumps!
For some, maths can prove to be quite a challenging subject; learning our times tables can often worsen the headache. As a school we looked into how we could make learning our times tables more accessible and allow us to have fun at the same time.
The challenge was set and the gauntlet had been thrown down; each class was asked to create a fun times table song to be set to music. The videos were filmed and an afternoon of entertainment was booked where all of the school would gather together in the hall for a times table video party.
That afternoon, all of the children were asked to vote for their favourite times table video song. Things to be considered when voting were: how creative the class had been with their choice of song and video arrangement? How catchy was the tune? And how easy was it to repeat the times table that had been chosen?
After taking all of this into account, the nominations were counted and verified; the winning entry was announced… What a surprise as there were two clear leaders – classes 3F and 4J were declared joint winners!
