HOME LEARNING TASKS

All homework is due in on a Monday - Maths and SPaG/English homework will be given out on a Tuesday.It is important that the children complete their homework and hand this in on time as they will be marking their own work in class to discuss their answers and receive verbal feedback on their work.

Spellings will be provided to the children and we ask that they practise at home in preparation for their end of unit test.

In addition, we ask that the children record their reading at least 3 times a week in their diary. Diaries will be checked by the teacher on a weekly basis.
To further support your child, the school is subscribed to the following websites:

Times Table Rockstars Letter Join for handwriting Education City

Details of how to log into these can be found in your child’s home learning books.

SPELLINGS

This year we will be continuing with the Read Write Inc spelling scheme, which involves the children practising a set spelling rule across a range of activities. The children will practise these throughout the week and will be tested when they have completed a unit. If you would like to support your child further with spelling, it is suggested that the children become confident with the words contained in the Year 3/4 word list. If you would like a copy of these spellings, then please askyour child’s class teacher or referto the school website. Encourage your child to check their home learning for spelling errors before handing in.

MATHS

 


We will continue to concentrate on the children’s mental calculation agility. We hope that you willbe able to support the children in everyday mathematical opportunities. In addition, it is crucial that your children continue to learn and revise their multiplication and division tables to 12 x 12. These will be tested on a regular basis through Times Table Rockstars quizzes and we will be continuing with our highly successful battle of the bands competitions.

In order to feel confident with the four formal operations, it is vital that the children are fluent with their times tables and addition and subtraction facts such as bonds to 100 and decimal complements to make one.
