Reminders

Every day, pupils will need:

A clear, reusable water bottle. This will be taken home daily to be cleaned and refilled.

A book bag. This will be stored in your tray.

All pupils will have a banded reading book which comes home daily.

Pupils may bring a fresh fruit or vegetable snack to eat at break. No other snacks please.

Homework is set on a Thursday to be completed by the following Tuesday.

Please can we ensure all homework is being completed weekly. We only have a small percentage of children completing their homework consistently, every week.

 

Activity 1: Three reads!

Reading books will come home each day. A library book will come home at the end of each week. Complete your 3 x 15-minute reads. Comment in your reading record and ask an adult to sign it off. Return it to school every day. Remember, 3 reads = a TrackIt point and you will receive another TrackIt point for any additional reads you complete! During the school day, if you read for 15 minutes, you can write this down in your reading record and it will count as one of your 3 reads!

Activity 2:

Keep logging onto TTRockstars and practising your times tables! We will all become times table wizards in no time! By the end of Year 4, children should know all the times tables (1-12) up to 12x the number. Times tables are incredibly important for us to master!

This week, make sure you complete your 15 minute Garage session.

Also, as an extra, try and do at least 1 Soundcheck session a week. This will help you practise your speed of recalling times table facts ready for our Multiplication Tables Check in the Summer!

 

Activity 3: Spellings.

Our spelling focus is to spell words where a suffix is added to words ending in 'y'.

Stage 4, List 18:

Learn these spellings for our Friday spelling test by completing your homework (which is set on a Thursday to be completed and handed in by the following Tuesday).

You can use the Spelling Shed link below to practise your spellings. Just type in the stage and list number.

Play a game to practise your spellings....
