Homework YEAR 4 2023 - 2024

WELCOME TO THE HOMEWORK PAGE OF YEAR 4

Homework

Homework and spellings will be set on a Tuesday and will need to be returned/learned by the following Monday. If you require any further support with homework, please don't hesitate to ask. Spellings and times tables will be a set on a weekly basis in addition to another piece of homework (often set on Purple Mash) 

Spellings set Tuesday 26th September to be tested on Monday 2nd October September

-The amount of spellings set will vary from week to week depending on the difficulty/type of words.

-Most children will learn the same set of spellings to begin with. This will be monitored week by week and changed accordingly if necessary.

Children will be introduced to the word/spelling pattern in school before learning them at home. Please encourage your child to learn their spellings carefully each week. When practising, it is beneficial if an adult can give the word within a sentence and ask your child to write down the spelling word carefully.

This week we are focussing on the /aw/ sound spelt au and augh.

Maths homework

-x1 Maths homework on Purple Mash

-Continue with TT rockstars (daily if possible) and use the website below for extra times tables practise:

This year, Year 4 will complete an official times tables check during the Summer term. Times tables are hugely important in our learning in Year 4 and beyond and they will need to know all times tables up to 12x12. This week (and every week after this), I would like children to spend time on TT rockstars to practice their quick recall and have a go at the following online check which replicates the conditions of the Summer term check :)

Reading

Daily home reading is incredibly valuable for our children and I strongly encourage helping your child move forwards with this. They can read aloud to you, their siblings, even their pets! If you can ask them questions to see what they have understood after they have read a page, this will be useful to gage their understanding. Please focus on book banded books and send these along with reading diaries into school on a daily basis :) Encourage children to read for pleasure also and find a variety of books that they are interested in. 

As always, please do ask if you are unsure of anything at all.
