- Many children still need to spend time learning their tables. It would be helpful if the child could have their times tables “at their fingertips”. The times tables help the children in so many areas of maths. Each child in the class knows what tables they should be working on. This Friday (17th March) we will be having table test. Here are some ideas to help your child learn their tables:
TGT (Team Game Tournament) children can make the cards at home.

Using its and it’s
When do we use its? Its is a possessive adjective. Use its if you can change it for a noun + ’s.
E.g. The cat drank its milk.
The cat drank the cat’s milk.
What about it’s? This is the shortened form of it is. Use it’s if you can change it for it is or it has.
E.g. It’s very cold today!
It is very cold today!
