HOMEWORK
READING
Children are expected to read at home at least 4 times a week which will be monitored during planner checks. It is still important for children to read to an adult, even if they are fluent readers. This will develop their comprehension skills.
Children will also participate in daily guided reading sessions a week to develop a broad range of reading skills. These sessions will be based on a range of different genres following the CUSP Reading curriculum. If you wish to find out more, please visit the reading page of our school website.
SPELLINGS
Children will receive a list of spellings on Friday which will be tested on the following Friday. These will be based on the spelling patterns and spellings lists from the National Curriculum and will be the spellings the children have been learning in class that week. Please encourage your child to practise these regularly to further embed them.
TIMES TABLES
Times tables are a highly important aspect of mathematics, requiring a great deal of support at home as well as at school. At the end of Year 4, children are expected to know all of their times tables up to 12x.
Children will be set weekly activities via TT Rockstars which they are expected to complete.
