Homework is set on a Thursday to be completed by the following Tuesday.
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!
Activity 2: Keep logging onto TTRockstars and practising your times tables! We will al 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.
