Mrs Wolfe - 13 Jan 2022
Homework Expectations updated for Spring (please see update in red)
We have been spending time in class talking about how to organise our time and create a homework routine - I have been so impressed!
Please click here to see our whole-school homework expectations.
We expect pupils to complete the following homework each week.
Maths:
- Complete the weekly My Maths activity set each Friday – to be completed by the following Thursday
- Additional Challenges on My Maths – can you improve your score? Go back and revisit a topic that you haven’t done for a while – have another go!
- 3 x weekly practise Table Rockstars or Numbots practice
Reading:
- Read your scheme book aloud to someone every day for at least 10 minutes - ask your grown-up to record this in your book, or alternatively make a note of it yourself!
- Read for pleasure every day – your own choice of book, magazine or any other reading material.
- Complete 3 x Read Theory session every week
Spelling Investigation:
- A weekly investigation will be set on Seesaw each Friday - to be comlpeted by the following Thursday. You may be asked to investigate a phonic sound, spelling pattern or words we have come across in our learning. You can find words, make words, or look at the etymology and origins of the words you are investigating. Explore, explore, explore!
- Revise 5 words from the Year 3/4 spelling list each week.
Parents,
We love Hit the Button in Palm! this is a great free online game that we like to use to practise our instant recall maths skills. Visit https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
We love exploring words in Palm - a dictionary, thesaurus and etymology dictionary are great tools to have at home to help expand our love of language.
If you’re looking for any additional home learning materials for your child the CPG range is fantastic!
