Homework in Year 4
Homework is an integral part of learning and allows parents and carers to support the work that is happening in school and to see how your children are getting on.
Homework will have 3 parts: spellings, reading and a maths worksheet.
Spelling tests are on Fridays and new spellings will also be given on the Friday (spare copies are always available).
A piece of maths homework that supports the week's learning will be sent home on a Friday to be returned by the following Wednesday. This will frequently be times tables based to support in preparation for the Year 4 MTC (Multiplication Tables Check).
Reading should be a daily routine, with adults sharing books alongside children reading at their own level for at least 15 minutes.
Please complete an entry in the reading record every day so that your child can experience gaining recognition in the form of Reading Ambassador rewards.
PE
PE is on Monday and Friday in Year 4. Please send children in PE kits on those days.

Celebrating children's work
Pupil Voice
DT: 'We did sawing the wood, it was fun. I liked gluing the wood after cutting to make my picture frame.' Dhanupa
Maths: 'Whenever we do it, every week we have a different method to do it. It makes it easier because I have a choice of how to do it.' Harry
Year 4 is: 'Delightful! We get to do fun art like going outside and painting stuff.' Daisy
English: 'I liked when we had to do speech with two characters and proper sentences with it after watching a film about a mum coming home with a puppy.' Willow
'I like the part where we were planting the spring onion and radish seeds and learning the elements all about it. The reason is I could go any day and see how it was growing and then we tried them. They were spicy!'
