Reading and Homework

Reading

Reading is extremely important, and we ask that you aim to read with your child at least 3 times per week.

The children should record a short sentence in their reading record about what they have read, including the page they have read – at least THREE times per week. If they would like to read and record more synopsis, We will be very happy teachers!

(Parents need not sign the reading diaries but should keep a check that children are recording their reading.)

Children will be given a spelling list each week. These lists are based on the spelling rules they have been learning in class.

Children should also ensure that they practise their times tables FREQUENTLY.

Children should access Times Tables Rockstars online for at least 30 minutes per week. Regular, specific tasks will also be set on TTRS – parents will be alerted to tasks being set via Class Dojo.

Statutory Testing

Towards the end of Year 4, children will complete the Multiplication Times tables Check (MTC)
