Homework

Spellings

Children will be tested on spellings taken from the Year 3/4 spelling list. These will be tested every Monday and  a copy of the test sent home. Each week they will receive a LSCWC sheet (Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check) to help them practise. They can also practise them using their Purple Mash log in. A marked copy of their spellings will be sent home.

Times Tables

By the end of Year 4, children need to know all their tables to 12x12. The children will work through different Times Tables Challenges. Every Thursday your child will be given a times table test. All children will start by trying to earn their Bronze Award. They have to answer 40 random questions on the 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables, in 4 minutes. After they have achieved full marks, 3 times they will move on to the next challenge. A marked copy of the test will be sent home. Practice sheets can be generated using TimesTable.Me.uk. They can also use their Times Tables Rockstar login to practice.

At the end of Year 4, the children will complete an online Times Tables test.
