Homework
Homework usually concentrates on Maths and English and it alternates between the subjects each week. Children are always given a full week to complete the homework.
Times Tables
In Year 4 we concentrate on Times Tables for Maths homework as this is a vital skill for future success in the subject, plus Year 4 children are now required to take an online Multiplication Table Check in the Summer Term. TTRockstars is particularly helpful as the 'Sound Check' area replicates the format of this check.
Reading
We ask that children read at least three times a week at home and that an adult signs their diary. We have found that children really benefit from reading with an adult and discussing what they have read, as well as learning to become more independent readers.
