• You will have a homework book to complete your homework in. We will mark your homework together in class

• One of the easiest and most important skills to practise at home is reading. We expect you to read aloud, to someone at home, at least 4 times a week. Please record this in your reading record. We have lots of lovely books you can borrow from the classroom and school library too. We will visit the school library once a week and you may borrow 2 books at at time.  Below are some ideas for good books you might like to read now you are in Year 4!

We are very grateful for all that parents and carers do to support their children's learning in the classroom. Here are some ideas which you may find useful when providing this support.

• Reading aloud and talking with your child about the book they are reading.
• Spelling of high frequency words and those spellings on the statutory spelling list for Lower Key Stage 2 (See below for lists).
• Handwriting practice.
• Using capital letters and full stops correctly when writing sentences.
• Times tables recall up to 12x12.
• Telling the time on an analogue clock to within 5minutes. Converting time between an analogue and a digital clock.
• Reading scales and measuring in m and cm, g and kg, ml and l.
