Year 4 Homework
Homework will be set on a Friday and due the following Thursday.
Weekly expectations:
- Spellings: Practise spellings in readiness for a spelling test each Friday. Please be aware that spellings are set in an individualised manner and tailored to your child. These will be adjusted accordingly throughout the year.
- In school we are continuing to use spelling journals where the children will practise their spellings daily using the Multi Sensory Spelling strategies. You can find these by clicking the link below.
Multi Sensory Spelling Strategy Sheet
- Reading: Every Monday morning we will check for Fantastic Four readers. There needs to be an adult signature in the home school record to verify when your child has read.
- Times tables: It is always beneficial to practise these at home. We are currently overlearning the 6,7,8,9 x tables. (if your child is still not secure in 4 and 8x table it would be useful to continue working on these).
