Homework

Reading

It is vital for your child to read daily for 10-15 minutes.  Your child will either have a school reading book or a library book.  Please ensure log books are signed regularly.  These will be checked daily.

 

Maths

Maths homework will be sent home on a Thursday and is to be returned the following Wednesday.  It will be a mixture of questions which will involve a range of mathematical skills, such a multiplication and division facts.  It is extremely important that your child is fluent in their times tables (up to 12) by the end of Year 4, as they are vital for quick mental maths calculations and problem solving. 

 

Spellings

Spellings will be sent home on a Thursday and these will be tested the following Thursday.  Your child will be expected to construct a mixture of simple, compound and complex sentences, using the spellings given.  Please help to expand your child's vocabulary, by ensuring they understand the definition of words.  Spelling expectations and useful strategies can be found in the front of your child's spelling book. 

 

Topic

Each term there will be a homework map, which will be linked to our topic.  This is an ongoing project and will be presented at the end of the term.
