Homework will be set on a Friday and collected the following Friday.
There will be a piece of maths, handwriting, and grammar. These will revise key areas of maths/grammar.
Children in Class 4 are also expected to complete comprehensions on Read Theory and practise times tables on Times Tables Rockstars. Please let me know if your child does not have access to online resources.
Home Reading
Children in Class 4 must read at least 3 times a week out loud to an adult. We will check for three signatures every Monday.
It would be extremely beneficial if you could hear your child read every night.

Class 4 have illustrated Remembrance Sunday in their artwork.

Class 4 took part in drama workshops with Mrs Woltering from Fisher More. They had a fantastic morning and really enjoyed this experience.
