Weekly Homework Activities

Weekly homework activities for children in Year 4 are:

-frequent and regular reading at home (we recommend at least 3 times per week) recorded in the home school diary by an adult

-regular practise of times tables. For January and February, we recommend playing on the Garage section of Times Tables Rockstars (TTRS) for at least 21 minutes per week and playing on Soundcheck 3 times per week

-practising spelling words taught in class the previous week

In our Friday Weduc post, we will be sharing with you the spellings we have been focusing on in class. The children will be tested on these spellings in their home school diary the following Friday. 

In the table below are the Year 4 National Curriculum statutory words. These will be taught alongside the Year 4 spelling rules.
