Homework

Weekly homework will consist of reading 5 times a week, the diary needs to be signed after every read alongside Timetable Rockstars and maths games - these are emailed out half termly but a link can be found below.

The children will earn awards for reading at least five times a week including being able to take home the Reading Rabbit, any reading can be recorded in the diary, not just school books.

As learning the times tables is very important in Year 3/4,  practising these at home will be beneficial to your child's learning. Using Times Table Rockstars to practise your child's times tables is a fun and engaging way to consolidate their learning. 

Year 4 Times Table Check

During the summer term, Year 4 will take part in the national electronic times table check. In this test, children will answer assorted, random times table questions up to 12 x 12 with 6 seconds given for each answer. Practise in school and at home is essential, below you will see a link to a website which may be useful, other practise sites are available. If you have any questions please et in touch.
