Rock Down Relief UK
This week, children from Year 2-6 will be competing in the Times Tables Rockstar's Rock Down Relief. A chance to compete against each other using their times tables knowledge. Which class will come out victorious? Who will be the Royal Rise Champion of Champions?!!
'Rock Down Relief' directly supports Children in Need.
The Battle Royale is the biggest competition we've ever held, with every school in the UK (including England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) invited to take part in simultaneous in-school competitions!
For those familiar with a Battle of the Bands, it's like that. Every school can opt in (it's free) and you'll see, as usual, a leaderboard of your own classes and a leaderboard of your pupils. It's not a between-school competition (look out for those later in the year) so there's no leaderboard of schools and no overall UK winner.
It is, however, a mass-participation event - more than 1 million children are expected to take part - and, as such, schools may like to use it as a catalyst for raising funds for Red Nose Day. For example, if appropriate, pupils may make a contribution to participate or to dress up like a rock star on the first day. Schools take responsibility for all aspects of fundraising and make any donations direct to Red Nose Day, not to us.
