Learn these spellings for a spelling test on Thursday 24th October.

Activity 2: Keep logging on TTrockstars and practicing you times-tables! We will all become Times Table wizards in no time! By the end of Year 4, children should know all their times tables (1-12) up to 12x the number.

This week, make sure you complete your 10 minute Garage session!

Activity 3: 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!
