Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back after the October half-term! We hope you all had a restful break. We are looking forward to a fabulous remainder of the Autumn term, filled with learning. Below, you will find information about homework and routines, our class timetables, the year group curriculum letter, and our class assembly dates. There are also links to helpful resources and websites.
Homework & Routines
Homework will be set on Tuesdays and should be completed by the following Monday. This will include spelling homework on Ed Shed, times tables practice on TT Rockstars, learn spellings for a weekly test and daily reading.
Reading at home is incredibly valuable, and we strongly encourage children to read regularly as part of their homework. Around 15-20 minutes each evening is recommended. However, please do not read the class texts on which their learning journeys are based at home. We will enjoy reading these with the children in school. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
These are our homework expectations:
-
Reading daily (15-20 minutes every day).
-
Spellings are to be learnt and will be tested once a week.
-
Times Table Rockstars at least once a week.
-
Please ensure that your child brings their Reading Record into school, with a comment, each day.
Things to remember:
Children should come to school in their PE kits on their PE days. Year 4 have their PE on:
-
Wednesday is outdoor PE.
-
Thursday is indoor PE (swimming).
PE kit should include a dark tracksuit, joggers or shorts, a white T-shirt, and trainers.
Swimming will take place on a Thursday. Please ensure your child has their swimming kit in a bag, ready to change into at the pool. Your child will need a swimming costume, a swimming hat, goggles, and a towel.
