Each week I will set homework here. This will include both English and Maths. There is an extra times tables workout included due to the Year 4 focus on times tables. I will also set an extra reading comprehension every other week. 

Answers are included on the answers tab. Please allow children to check and mark their work once they are done so they can see if they have understood. Children can then show me their work in school to receive a sticker.

Homework is optional but the children will be encouraged to engage with it when they can to help develop their learning. Spelling tests and reading at home regularly are not optional and will be expected of the children throughout the year please. 

The homework topics all relate to the Year 4 curriculum and the topics are spaced out over the year to give children the opportunity to revisit topics they have studied earlier in the year or at the end of the previous year to refresh their memories of the key learning.

Mr Richards is available on a Friday lunchtime to help with homework if needed. 

This half term's fluency fact focus is Times Tables - particularly the 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x and 12x tables. These will be practiced in our Maths calculations lessons at least once a week. 

In addition, as we are now approaching the date of the MTC (summer term!), we will be doing daily times table practice throughout this half term.

Please can all children practice their times tables at home as much as possible.

The best resources to use for this are:

The Multiplication Tables Check and the Speed Test options on Timestables.co.uk

Times Table Rockstars (all children have been given their logins but will be reminded of them tomorrow.)

The Times Table books children were given in September (I have spares available if lost)

Any and every opportunity to chant/recite/write down/be tested on any times tables they are struggling to recall instantly.

By the end of Y4, the national expectation is that all children will have instant recall of their times tables up to 12x so the MTC only allows 6 seconds to answer each question. We do lots of practice in school but as much practice at home as possible also really helps the children achieve this goal. Thank you.

The first spelling test for this half term will be Monday 9th March. Thank you.
