Homework

Homework will be set every week by your child's class teacher. Children will receive Maths and English homework, every Friday through PurpleMash and TT Rockstars. Spellings will be provided to children on Monday morning, which should be learnt in preparation for a test that will take place on Friday. Maths will usually be a revision activity of what had been covered during that week. Homework should be handed in no later than Wednesday, however we encourage children to bring in their homework for Monday.

Reading

Every child will go home with their home reading books and diaries, which are expected to be read every night. Parents should sign their child's diary, so that it can be shown to member of staff in the morning. Please note, that if your child finishes their book and has to wait for their book changing day, then they are encouraged to read a book, magazine or newspaper article. You still need to sign to show this.

Multiplication Practice

This year, Year 4 will be completing a Multiplication Test.

This will test children on their multiplication knowledge up to their 12x tables. Children will have 25 questions and will get up to 6 seconds to complete each question.

As a result of this, children will need to be quick and fluent when learning their multiplication facts up to 12. Children will be expected to practice their times tables at home, as well as school.

Below are a list of websites, which will encourage children to learn and test their multiplication facts:
