Parents:
PE:
This term, PE is every Thursday and Friday. The children will need to come to school in their PE kits and remove earrings on these days.
Homework:
Homework tasks will be linked to our learning in school. It should take your child about 20 minutes and it should be able to be completed independently or with some adult support.
Homework will be set on a Friday and is due the following Wednesday.
Reading:
We love reading in Year 4. Children become better readers by practising reading as much as possible. We would encourage children to read with an adult or to be read to at home every day for 10 minutes. Children will bring home a levelled reading book that they can read with you. The children can also take a library book of their choice to read at home or in school. This is to encourage reading for pleasure and to help the children explore their reading! If the children could return their reading books to school on Wednesday, ready for their book change on Thursday.
Times Tables:
Being able to recall times tables quickly and accurately helps children to succeed in all of our Maths lessons. Please help your child at home to practise times tables as much as they can. Questions, chanting and Times Tables Rockstars are all good ways to learn.
If you need to contact us about anything, please feel free to chat to us at the beginning or the end of the day or email us at the addresses below.
