Activity 1: Spellings.

Our spelling focus is to spell challenge words.

You can use the Spelling Shed link at the bottom of our class page to practise your spellings. Just type in the stage and list number.

Stage 4, List 6:

Learn these spellings for a spelling test on Friday 11th 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 15 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!
