Together - we will:

  • work on any special needs
  • encourage the children to keep the school rules

Homework

The Family & pupil - We will complete homework each week;

Each week your child will be set:  

  • Daily reading
  • Daily Times Tables Rockstars
  • Spelling practice using Spelling Shed
  • Regular Lexia practice
  • Pick and Mix Grid

Spellings: It is expected that by the end of year 4, all the Year 1/2 and Year 3/4 statutory spelling words are spelt correctly.  Also, at the end of year 6, the Year 5/6 spellings are known too. Please practise these and use these words in your writing. Remember to use some of our spelling strategies!

Times Tables: This is still vitally important!! Most of the maths curriculum links to pupil knowledge of times tables so it is extremely important to keep those skills sharp! Keep practising - with TTRS! Also, in year 4, children will be sitting the National Multiplication Check Test in the summer term. 

Lexia: Lexia has proven to help children make accelerated progress when reading, writing and speaking. Regular access of this will help children make good progress with their spelling and reading comprehension skills!

Pick and Mix Grid: These grids allow pupils to choose a few activities which particularly interest them and spend the term working on them before bringing them in to share with the class and the rest of the school.
